The Federal Trade Commission announced that payments from a $2.5 billion settlement with Amazon started going out on Nov. 12 and will continue through Dec. 24.

Who is eligible?

Customers may qualify for an automatic refund if they:

  • live in the United States,
  • enrolled in Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, through one of the “challenged” sign-up flows identified by the FTC, and
  • used no more than three Prime benefits within any 12-month period after enrollment.

No application is required; eligible customers will receive the refund automatically.

How much will customers get?

Most eligible Prime members will receive a refund of up to $51, which is the equivalent of their Prime subscription fees.

    The Seattle company will pay $1 billion in civil penalties — the largest fine in FTC history, and $1.5 billion will be paid to consumers who were unintentionally enrolled in Prime, or were deterred from canceling their subscriptions, the agency said Thursday. Eligible Prime customers include those who may have signed up for a membership via the company’s “Single Page Checkout" between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025.
