Here is something that might not be known to many. Audible has a feature that allows you to return your audiobooks and get your credit back. You can then re-use that credit against another audiobook of your choice. As Kris Henges of How-To-Geek mentioned, the feature is available on the ‘Purchase History’ page. There, when you click on any title that you have purchased, you will get to see the ‘Return this title’ option among several others. Just click on it and you will have the credit back that you used to acquire the title. It is as simple as that.
The feature however will only be available to members of the Audible Premium Plus plan. That is obvious as it is only with this plan that you get to have one credit every month for use to purchase any audiobook of your choice. You have 365 days to return the book and get your credit back. You then have 12 months to use it to purchase another audiobook. Otherwise, the credit will expire if it is not used within the 12-month period.
Both the time to return an audiobook or reuse the credit are decent enough, it must be said. A year should be enough to go through the longest of audiobooks or even a series comprising several titles unless you have a huge backlog of titles. Similarly, 12 months is ample time to make up your mind to buy another title. You might even opt to hold on to it if you know there is an audiobook set for launch sometime in the future and is worth waiting for.
Further, you can only return an audiobook in the web version of Audible via a browser. For some reasons best known to Audible, the feature isn’t available on the Audible app.
So, if you have an audiobook that you wish you could return, you should be able to do it now. The feature also leaves ample scope for misuse as well as anyone can buy an audiobook, listen to it maybe several times over, and then return it within the stipulated one-year time span. You then have another year to use the credit thus returned to buy another audiobook.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
