Mnemonics
Imagine a magazine arriving regularly with a sticker 'Abo' on it — every arrival reminds you of the subscription
sounds like French 'abonnement' — think 'a-bon-ment' meaning a good (bon) moment linked to a subscription
das — think of 'das' like 'das Auto' (neutral); 'Abonnement' ends with -ment which often takes das
Notes
Plural commonly 'Abonnements'. Word is a loan from French; remember neuter gender (das Abonnement).
