Amazon Prime FTC Settlement Refund: How Eligible US Customers Can Claim $51 Before July 27
Amazon Prime users who were or failed to cancel can claim up to $51 before July 27, 2026, under a $2.5 billion FTC settlement.Summary
Amazon has agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement with the FTC over allegations that its design tricks led U.S. customers to sign up for Prime or made it hard to cancel. Eligible customers—those who unintentionally enrolled or failed to cancel between June 23 2019 and June 23 2025, used 4–9 Prime benefits in any 12‑month period, and have not already received an automatic refund—can file a claim for up to $51. Claims must be submitted through the FTC’s official website; payments are expected in late 2026 and will be issued by check, PayPal or Venmo. The FTC warns against scams and clarifies that no third party can guarantee a refund. The settlement also requires Amazon to overhaul its Prime marketing and cancellation processes to prevent future deceptive practices.
