Amazon Faces Refund Settlements Totaling Over $2.8 Billion for US Customers
Amazon is involved in two major US settlements addressing refund and subscription issues. A $309.5 million settlement covers customers who requested refunds for physical items between 2017 and 2026 but did not receive them or were wrongly charged. Separately, under a $2.5 billion FTC settlement, eligible Prime members who faced difficulties canceling subscriptions or were misled during sign-up may receive refunds up to $200. Both settlements have specific eligibility criteria and claim deadlines extending into 2027.
