You probably thought about an Audible Gift Card because you want to gift someone an audiobook. Unfortunately, such a thing does not exist as Audible doesn’t offer traditional gift cards. If you want to share the joy of listening to an audiobook on Audible with someone you would have to gift them an Audible membership or buy the specific audible book you want them to listen to and send.
How To Gift An Audible Membership or Books
With Audible, you can give the gift of books, but you can’t do this with an Audible gift card – because they don’t exist. Instead, you’ll have to give an Audible book or a complete membership as a gift. Fortunately, you can do so quickly and easily using the Audible website on your Mac or PC.
How Do I Purchase A Gift Membership From Audible?
Go to the membership gifting page and choose a plan between the available options; 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. Enter the recipient’s name and email address. If you want to add a personal touch to the gift you can do so at this point with a personalized message before choosing when to send your gift, either immediately or at a later time with the schedule option. Complete the checkout process and the recipient of the gift will receive an email with the membership details.
How Do I Buy An Audible Audiobook As A Present?
If giving an Audible audiobook is a better alternative, you can do so very easily as long as you have an Audible account yourself. Log into your account to view the audiobook you want to gift. Click on the audiobook to reveal different options and click on the one that says give as a present.
At this point, you will have to choose between sending the audiobook gift via email or as a printable card. After this, confirm and complete your purchase so the recipient will have access to the purchased book.
Another option similar to buying an Audible audiobook for someone else that many people don’t know about is that Audible audiobooks can be shared. You can share an audiobook from your Audible library so someone else can read it without it costing you anything. All you need to do is use the share it option and the other person can read listen to the audiobook for free.
Paying for a Gift
There is no different method of making payment on Audible from what there is elsewhere. It is the same as you would find or do at any online store. What that means is that Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards are all accepted.
If for any reason the payment does not go through, double-check that you have the correct details and try again to complete the purchase.
What Happens When Audible Gift Membership Expires?
When an Audible gift membership expires, the recipient of the gift will have to transition to a regular Audible membership in order to continue to recieve monthly credits and other perks like buying audiobooks at discounted prices.
If the gift recipient chooses not to transition, all unused credits received during the gift membership will remain valid for about a 2-month period before they will expire. All other perks will also disappear. However, the gift recipient will still be able to access all already purchased audiobooks that will permantently remian in their library.
How Can I Cancel My Audible Membership?
Even if you’re not ready to cancel but don’t want to use the services at a particular time, you can pause your membership. More so, you do not have to delete the Audible app from your device as your membership will not be canceled even if you delete the app from your device – you may still be charged.
The steps below will guide you to cancel your membership:
- Log in with your Audible/Amazon account information by clicking or tapping Account Details.
- Under the text box with your current membership information, click or touch Cancel membership.
- Choose a reason for cancellation and follow the instructions. You will receive an email confirmation soon after. You can always come back anytime you wish to reactivate your account.
However, before you cancel your membership, it is advised that you use any remaining credits. After you cancel, you’ll definitely lose access to your member benefits and all credits at the end of your final billing period.
