![]() It lets them plan, price and pitch to the rights holders, and lets them communicate what the investors want to know. Until you pick, they don't know if it's a $15 profit, or a loss.)Įven if nobody ever let a single unit expire, it would still save them a certain amount of money just to be able to say definitively that all (or 90%) of the currently outstanding credits will be used or will expire by 12 months from today. (That makes some instinctive sense as well, since you could use your credit for a product that costs them noting or one that costs them all or nearly all of the money paid for the credit. To have every single credit in every person's account be redeemable sometime between now and the heat death of the universe means they have zero certainty about when to book their sale (and recognize revenue).īy the rules of accounting that Audible must use as a publicly traded company, Audible has not made money until it delivers the product to you. Credits, once issued, are an obligation that Audible must at some point repay (a book liability). My guess at the real reason that credits expire is corporate accounting. I challenge anyone here to change my view. It costs Audible NOTHING to not have credits expire. They shouldn't be able to steal the credit back (which is literally worthless to them, Audible can make infinite credits) and tell me to eat shit while they keep my $15. Yes, you heard that right, I got about 10 credits restored to my account after complaining because there's no way in hell I'm losing $150 to this stupid system. People are losing their $15 credits every goddamn day due to lapsed memberships or whatever else and the MAJORITY don't know they can get the credits back from Audible. ![]() I feel so bad for these people that have zero idea they don't keep their credits permanently. I'm not too forgetful, but imagine people who aren't on top of micromanaging their credits or bogged down with work and family. I don't currently recommend Audible to anybody because of this policy. If credits just stayed on our account, like a game in your Steam library, none of this would be a problem. Think about the millions of credits they've had to return to people who complain about them expiring, or the holds and plethora of other shit that happens. There is no reason I can see why Audible credits can't be locked, no questions asked, to our accounts after we pay.Īudible is making this so needlessly convoluted. The fact that we pay $15 per month for a credit, and Audible can steal that from me after a set amount of time or if my membership lapses is steaming BULLSHIT. I will die on this hill: Audible credit expiration needs to be expunged immediately. If you don't want the automoderator to comment on your post, just include the word "nobot" anywhere in it.
