You could get more than $50 from Amazon as part of a historic settlement. Here's what to know about the payouts

Last month, Amazon and the Federal Trade Commission agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement that includes $1.5 billion in customer refunds and a $1 billion civil penalty for Prime enrollment practices.
The FTC alleged Amazon `knowingly duped` people into auto-renewing Prime and made cancellation difficult, violating the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, while a Business Insider 2022 investigation found executives slowed fixes.
Eligible U.S. Amazon Prime members who signed up between June 23, 2019 and June 23, 2025 may receive up to $51, with automatic payments for those using no more than 3 Prime benefits via a `challenged enrollment flow`.
The FTC said `Right now, do nothing,' refunds are automatic and will go out by December 25, 2025, and if payouts don't reach $1 billion, eligibility will expand with a claims form opening in 2026 and 180 days to file.
The FTC said it will continue to vigorously protect Americans from `dark patterns`, while Amazon denied wrongdoing and said `We work incredibly hard to make it clear and simple for customers to both sign up or cancel their Prime membership, and to offer substantial value for our many millions of loyal Prime members around the world.
