Amazon Expands Settlement Paying Up to $200 to Prime Customers

Amazon has agreed to expand its $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after allegations of deceptive Prime enrollment and cancellation practices.

The revised order will allow consumers who used between 11 and 20 Prime benefits in a year to be eligible for automatic refunds starting on October 1, paid electronically through Venmo or PayPal, or by mailed check.

Under the original settlement, consumers were entitled to up to $51 in compensation. However, with the revised order, the maximum payment cap has been raised from $51 to $200 total.

The FTC announced that Amazon will issue automatic payments to consumers who previously received a refund under the settlement, with an additional $149 to be issued in April 2027, bringing the total to $200.
