Not clear how audible works

[Anonymous]

I paid for 3 months / a credit a month at a discount that’s now over. I got one book that wasn’t available through the library but, otherwise, most audiobooks I want haven’t had long waits.
If I cancel audible do I still get to use my credits or do I lose those? What audio books should I buy that are hard to get from the library (if I need to use them before I cancel)? Thanks!

I think you have to use your credits before you cancel, but you get to keep your books that you've downloaded into your library, even once you cancel. You should be able to confirm that through the Audible FAQs.

I find that my library has a very long waiting list with the newer "hotter" books, and then there are also some books that are only available through Audible and not through the library.

+1. Use your credits before you cancel, but I think you can preorder a new release.

Anything you use credits to get, you will keep after cancelling, but anything that was offered as an audible free perk, you will lose. (Not sure how this works with free books you've actually downloaded though.)

I think I spend about $400 a year on audible. I am constantly listening to books. I am always trying something new.
