How to Claim Amazon Prime FTC Settlement Payout Before Deadline
Amazon is required to pay $1.5 billion in refunds to customers as part of a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which sued the company in 2023 for enrolling customers in Amazon Prime without consent and making cancellation difficult. The settlement includes a $1 billion civil penalty, totaling $2.5 billion. Eligible customers who did not receive automatic refunds between November and December 2025 can file claims until July 27, 2026. Refunds are up to $51 per person. Eligibility requires unintentional enrollment or failed cancellation attempts between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and use of fewer than 10 Prime benefits in a year. Claims can be filed online with a Claim ID or by providing personal details. Payments will be issued by September 2026 via PayPal, Venmo, or mailed checks.
