I signed up for free trial or discounted offer but still get charged the full price

Bank has placed an authorization hold for your purchase

When you sign up for a free trial period or a discounted offer, Audible contacts the issuing bank to confirm the validity of the payment method. The bank often reserves the funds until the transaction processes or the authorization expires. The amount displayed in your bank statement is not an actual charge, but only a temporary authorization charge.

Free trial or discounted membership renewed into a regular membership

You may be charged the full membership fee because your 30-day free trial or special offer has expired and your plan has automatically renewed to a regular membership. You can cancel from your Account details page.

My card was charged 1,00 €

You haven't been charged. This 1,00 € charge is a digital service charge that won't be deducted from your account. A digital service charge, otherwise known as an authorization, processing, or pending charge is temporarily deducted from your account to ensure your credit card is valid. Once the charge processes, this 1,00 € charge will release back into your account. Depending on your bank, it could take several business days.Note: If there are any difficulties in authorizing your credit card, you'll receive an email from Audible.

I have never signed up for an Audible membership
