Does Audible allow Wallet Sharing?

Wallet Sharing is specific to Amazon Family Sharing. This feature allows you to share your payment methods with another Amazon account that’s part of your Amazon Family. When sharing a credit or debit card, the other member can use this payment method with their own Amazon/Audible account.

At this time, Audible accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit/debit cards as shared payment methods in an Amazon Family.
