Some Amazon Prime customers face July 27 deadline to claim up to $51
Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Amazon Prime customers have until July 27, 2026, to file claims for refunds of up to $51 as part of a $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
- The settlement, reached in September 2025, includes a $1.5 billion consumer refund fund and a $1 billion civil penalty, with Amazon not admitting wrongdoing.
- The FTC alleged Amazon enrolled consumers in Prime without informed consent and made cancellations difficult, requiring the company to improve enrollment and cancellation processes.
- Eligible claimants must be U.S. Prime customers who enrolled or unsuccessfully tried to cancel between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and used between three and ten Prime benefits during a 12-month period.
- Refunds will be issued via check, PayPal, or Venmo, with payments expected in late 2026; consumers are warned to beware of refund scams demanding payment for settlement access.
