Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You are a U.S. Amazon customer who enrolled in Prime through one of the FTC's "challenged" sign-up flows (for example the shipping-selection or single-page checkout screens) and used three or fewer Prime benefits in a 12-month period.
- Most eligible customers already received an automatic refund by check, PayPal or Venmo in November–December 2025 — no action needed.
- If you did not get an automatic refund, Amazon mailed or emailed a claim notice with a Claimant ID starting January 2026 — you must file using that ID.
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible customers who file a claim can receive up to $51. Payment can be taken by check, PayPal or Venmo, following the instructions on your claim notice. Customers who already received an automatic refund do not file and do not get an additional payment.
How to File Your Claim
Filing your claim is quick and easy:
- Check whether you were paid automatically — automatic refunds went out in Nov–Dec 2025 and require no claim.
- If you received a claim notice, file at the official site, SubscriptionMembershipSettlement.com, using the Claimant ID from your email or mailed notice. Class Action Buddy can help you complete the form.
- File by July 27, 2026 — the claim window closes then. Filing is free.
