Purchasing audiobook listening time
For: Premium Platinum
Audiobook top-ups
Top-ups are one-time purchases and provide extra audiobook listening hours. They’re valid for 12 months from the purchase date, and you can add more than one at a time.
Top-ups are used only when your monthly plan and Audiobooks+ add-on hours run out.
You can purchase top-ups with a credit/debit card, PayPal, or through Google Play Billing.
- Go to Audiobook listening time.
- Under Top-ups, select Top up.
For more information on our refund policy, you can check our Refund policy for purchased audiobook listening hours. Other Terms and Conditions apply.
Notes:
- You must have an eligible Premium plan to use your top-up hours
- If you cancel your subscription, you’ll no longer have access to your top-up hours unless you resubscribe within 12 months of purchasing the top-up
- Your top-up hours will still be subject to their original expiration date
Managing audiobook listening time for Family and Duo plans
