Amazon Prime Settlement: How to Claim Your Refund

In-Depth Analysis

The FTC alleged that Amazon used 'dark patterns' to trick consumers into enrolling in automatically renewing Prime subscriptions and made it difficult to cancel. While Amazon denies these claims, they agreed to the settlement to avoid a lengthy trial.

**How to Qualify for a Refund:**

**Automatic Refunds:** If you signed up for Prime between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, via the Universal Prime Decision Page, Shipping Option Select Page, Prime Video enrollment flow, or Single Page Checkout, and used Prime benefits three or fewer times within 12 months, you will receive an automatic refund within 90 days of the settlement.
**Claims Form:** If you don't automatically qualify, you may still be eligible. Amazon will send a claims form to customers who signed up through challenged enrollment flows and used up to 10 Prime benefits in any 12-month period. The claims form will be distributed 30 days after the automatic refunds period, and you will have 180 days to complete and submit it.
**Potential Third Wave:** If less than $1 billion is refunded after the first two waves, Amazon may expand eligibility to more customers. Keep an eye on your email for updates.

**AT&T Settlement:**

In addition to the Amazon settlement, AT&T has also agreed to a $177 million settlement after data breaches. Customers affected by the 2019 breach could claim up to $5,000, while those affected by the 2024 breach could claim up to $2,500. Claims must be submitted by November 18, 2025, through the AT&T Data Incident Settlement Claim Form.
