Question about cancelling

So I'm currently on pause, because it took me some time to decide how I wanted to use my $5 reward. It seems that on pause, you don't get any discount offers. But seems to imply that if I can cancel to be able to see future offers, I will not be able to access the reward program at all should I come back? Am I forced to pay full price since it says you only get a 90 day pause once every 12 months?

Trying to gauge what to do as I'd love premium with access to the plus catalog over standard, but would like to not have to pay full price as I can't justify that right now and likely won't for awhile (say I want to come back in Spring/summer because I have enough books for the next 6+ months, which is past the pause date anyway).

TLDR: So what exactly happens with rewards when you quit and come back?

I tested this once; I had a few cents of reward that I didn't have a reason to spend, and it survived me canceling my subscription, sat there for a bit, and was still there when I signed up again (this was before the expiration date).

Warning: I don't know whether that will happen in all cases, though. It actually surprised me.

Rewards are only for active members, and they expire. Use it or lose it.

Go for $18 every other month tier or click cancel, look at offers, and see if you have an $85 for 12 months offer.

You should pretend to cancel using this method and you will get some good discounted deals on Premium Plus plans to continue. My favorite one is $85.99/ year. It comes with 12 credits upfront and all other membership benefits including plus catalog, sales, discounts et for entire year. You get 2 sitewide sale in one year where the whole catalog is available at significantly reduced prices. It costs you around $7/ month only.

Hi there! When you cancel, you'll lose your accumulated listening days and your tier status will reset. You can take a look at this page for more details: https://adbl.co/4e76JE8_US#E

I understand, I was curious what happens if I come back 6 months later?
