Stop thinking of it as a 'subscription'. It isn't, it's a purchase model, where they happen to prefer to take regular payments.
You can sign up to Audible, pay the money, spend your credit, then cancel, all within 10 minutes. Then you can do the same thing again, immediately afterwards.
If your credit cost you less than $9, you should buy the title using a credit, not cash.
I'm surprised they've managed to convince so many people to think of it like it's Netflix, where you pay periodically for temporary access to the full library. Audible have never offered rentals, and their model is nothing like the Netflix model at all.
Also, arafalov's points about the 24 month subscription, and the don't-cancel discounts, are great tips.
