Amazon Prime customers who were not included in earlier refund rounds could now receive automatic settlement payments, with the maximum total payment rising to $200. The latest payment phase began on 1 October 2026, and eligible consumers do not need to file a claim or complete additional paperwork.
The payments are part of a $2.5 billion settlement between Amazon and the Federal Trade Commission over allegations that the company enrolled millions of consumers in Prime without their consent and made cancellation difficult. Amazon agreed to provide up to $1.5 billion in consumer redress and pay a $1 billion civil penalty.
