Why would someone feel pressure to use a credit? A person can have several extra credits at time. The credit system has a lot of advantages for Amazon, but time pressure isn't one of them.
- lugg 7y agoCredits expire and there is a max of 6.
- disiplus 7y agoit's 1 year from 2 April. I was thinking about canceling with the old policy but maybe not anymore. right now I have 3 unused credits.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoIt is, a little. You can't sustain a listening rate of less than nine books per year. That's because there are no plans that provide less than one credit per month, and you can only put your account on hold three months per year. I suppose you could bank extra credits indefinitely, but if you only want to read six books per year, then after two years you will have a year's worth of credits banked. After four years, you'll have two years worth of credits banked.
- Jagat 7y agoThere's a hidden 'silver' plan which is one credit every two months. The only way to get that is to talk to/chat with the customer service.
- r00fus 7y agoWow - I would totally benefit from that. I need to talk with them. I do like to re-listen to some really good classics so I'd rather not cancel my Audible sub.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoYou don't lose your books when you cancel your sub. You just stop getting credits.
- maaaats 7y agoI got it as an option when I tried to cancel. Went forward with the cancellation anyway, as I found it deceptive. Esepcially the part that canceling would lose all my credits. Didn't know what to spend them on either, so just bought random stuff to use them.
