Amazon Prime customers could get $200 refund following $2.5B FTC settlement: Here's who qualifies
Key Points:
- Amazon is issuing automatic refunds of up to $200 to qualified Prime customers following a $2.5 billion settlement with the FTC over unauthorized Prime enrollments and cancellation difficulties.
- Eligible customers are those who signed up for Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, attempted to cancel unsuccessfully online, and used no more than 20 Prime benefits in a 12-month period.
- Refunds will be sent automatically via Venmo, PayPal, or mailed check, with no need for customers to file claims, but recipients must redeem the payment within 60 days of the issue date.
- Customers who previously received a $51 refund from an earlier settlement may still be eligible to receive the remaining $149 difference.
- Qualified customers should expect to receive their refunds by April 2024.
