Who May Qualify for a Refund?
Eligibility Tied to Subscription History
According to the FTC complaint, refunds will go to Prime subscribers who may have been affected by the alleged practices. The exact amount each customer receives will vary, depending on factors such as:
-
Length of Prime membership
-
Timing of enrollment and cancellation attempts
-
Number of valid claims submitted
The $1.5 billion consumer fund will be distributed based on claims filed through the official settlement process, the FTC said.

Payments are expected to begin this month, according to CT Insider. The FTC is expected to release detailed instructions outlining:
-
Whether consumers must submit a claim form
-
How to access the official settlement portal

What documentation may be required
To confirm eligibility, claimants may need to provide basic details tied to their Amazon account and Prime subscription history.
