Amazon has started issuing refunds to Prime customers as part of a $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. The case alleges the company used deceptive tactics to enroll users and hinder cancellations. Eligible customers can receive up to $51 automatically through Venmo or PayPal, or request a mailed check. Refunds will continue through December 24, with claims available in 2026 for those who miss automatic payments.
