Amazon Prime FTC settlement, closed July 27, 2026, when the $51 payments go out
Last checked July 1, 2026
Amazon agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over claims that it enrolled people in Prime without clear consent and made cancelling hard on purpose. The FTC estimated 35 million U.S. consumers were affected between June 23, 2019 and June 23, 2025. Claims paid up to $51 and required no proof.
The claim window closed July 27, 2026. The case sits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington under number 2:23-cv-00932-JHC.
Where it stands
Claims closed July 27, 2026. Our source does not list a hearing date or an approval order, and it does not say payments have started.
Treat the status as claim review in progress until the administrator posts otherwise.
When checks usually go out
Payment follows court approval, a roughly 30-day appeal window, and a claim review that screens for duplicates and fraud. Administrators describe this as several months, and the notice on the administrator site is the reliable signal that it has begun. An FTC refund program can move faster than a private class action because the agency, not a judge, controls the schedule, but no date has been published for this one.
If you filed
Save the confirmation number from your filing. Address and payment method changes go through the administrator, and that number is how they find you. Nobody can speed up your payment, and anyone selling that for a fee is after your money. The Payout app lists settlements that are still open, if you want to catch the next one before its deadline; filing on any administrator site is free either way.
