USA Today • • general
Key Points:
- Eligible Amazon customers have until July 27 to file a claim in the company's $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over alleged antitrust violations related to Prime subscriptions.
- The settlement stems from a 2023 lawsuit accusing Amazon of coercing customers into Prime and making cancellations difficult; Amazon denies wrongdoing.
- To be eligible, customers must have signed up for Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and either unsuccessfully tried to cancel or enrolled through specific "challenged" signup pages.
- Eligible claimants who used Prime benefits 10 or fewer times in any 12-month enrollment period can receive up to $51, with payments based on total membership fees paid.
- Claims can be submitted online or via email, with Amazon reviewing claims within 30 days and payments expected by September.
