How to still get up to $51 from Amazon Prime settlement in 2025
Eligible Amazon Prime customers can claim up to $51 in refunds from a $2.5 billion FTC settlement due to deceptive enrollment practices.Summary
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reached a $2.5 billion settlement with Amazon regarding allegations that the company tricked consumers into signing up for Prime memberships and made cancellation difficult. Eligible Prime customers may receive refunds capped at $51, factoring in their subscription fees. Amazon automatically issued refunds to some customers in late 2023, but a second phase of claims is now open for those who didn't receive an automatic payout. To qualify, consumers must have been unintentionally enrolled between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, or have attempted to cancel without success. The FTC warns of scammers attempting to exploit the settlement, emphasizing they will not contact consumers directly offering refunds. Claim forms must be submitted by September 25, 2025, and payments are expected in late 2026. More information and claim submission details are available at www.SubscriptionMembershipSettlement.com.
