What is the Amazon Prime FTC Settlement About?

The FTC alleged that Amazon used deceptive design practices (“dark patterns”) to enroll consumers in automatically renewing Amazon Prime subscriptions without clear consent, and deliberately made the cancellation process unnecessarily difficult. This violated the FTC Act and ROSCA (Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act). Amazon denies wrongdoing but agreed to a stipulated order.

Who Is Eligible?

U.S. consumers who, between June 23, 2019 and June 23, 2025, either:

  • Enrolled in Amazon Prime through one of the challenged enrollment flows, OR
  • Attempted to cancel Prime but continued to be charged

How Much Can I Get Paid?

  • Up to $51 per eligible person (payments may be adjusted proportionally)
  • Automatic refunds were already sent (Nov-Dec 2025) to low-usage Prime members who used 3 or fewer Prime benefits in any 12-month period
  • Claims-based refunds are available for unintentional enrollments, failed cancellations, and those who did not receive automatic refunds

How to File a Claim

Submit your claim through the official Amazon Prime FTC Settlement website. Eligible consumers who did not receive automatic refunds should have received a notice by email or mail starting January 5, 2026 with a claim form link.
