  "account": "Amazon Prime customers began receiving settlement refund payments following a $2.5 billion agreement between Amazon and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC expanded the refund program on September 17, 2026, raising the maximum total payment from $51 to $200. This change allows more customers to qualify for refunds, including those who used between 11 to 20 Prime benefits during a one-year period. Eligible customers will receive automatic payments through PayPal, Venmo, or mailed checks without needing to apply separately. Amazon has already paid more than $845 million to customers under the settlement.",
