Millions of Amazon Prime members could get up to $200 in automatic refunds starting Oct 1 — are you eligible?
Amazon’s $2.5B FTC settlement expands on October 1, bringing automatic payouts to millions more Prime members. Here is who qualifies.
Starting October 1, millions of Amazon Prime subscribers could receive up to $200 in automatic refunds as part of a $2.5 billion settlement. This expansion of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) landmark agreement with Amazon comes after allegations of deceptive checkout screens and complex cancellation processes for Prime memberships between 2019 and 2025.
To be eligible, you must have been a U.S.-based subscriber who either agreed to the subscription through questionable checkout screens or failed to cancel within the specified timeframe. The recent court order increased the maximum payout from $51 to $200, so eligible recipients will automatically receive the additional $149 to reach the new maximum.
There are no claim forms needed; Amazon will refund funds directly to your PayPal, Venmo, or via mailed checks.
