Amazon Prime Settlement Claim Deadline Is One Week Away: Find Out If You're Eligible Eligible Amazon Prime members have less than a week to submit claims for compensation from a $2.5 billion settlement related to allegations the company enrolled customers in its subscription service without their consent and made cancellation difficult. The deadline to file claims is July 27, 2026, with approved participants potentially receiving up to $51. The settlement, which includes $1.5 billion allocated to affected customers and $1 billion in fines from the Federal Trade Commission, marks a significant resolution to the legal dispute. Amazon agreed to the terms in September 2025, stating the payout would allow the company to focus on innovation for customers. The settlement process involves two phases. In the first phase, some members received automatic payments between November 12 and December 24, 2025. For the second phase, claimants must meet specific criteria to qualify. To be eligible, individuals must have enrolled in Amazon Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and used their Prime benefits between three and 10 times in any 12-month period during that timeframe. The claims filing window opened on January 5, 2026, and closes on July 27, 2026. To file a claim, eligible customers must visit the official Amazon Prime settlement website, verify their eligibility, complete the claim form, and submit it before the deadline. Once approved, payments are expected to be issued in September 2026. The distribution of funds is based on the total Prime membership fees paid by each claimant during their subscription period, with individual payouts capped at $51. Amazon has emphasized that it did not admit wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to move forward with its operations.#amazon #federal_trade_commission #amazon_prime #settlement_deadline #rocket_money
