8. What If You Don’t Get a Notice?
If you believe you meet the eligibility criteria but haven’t received a notice by January 23, 2026, keep an eye on your email spam folder, postal mail, and Amazon account contact details.
You can also visit the official settlement website for updates or contact the settlement administrators via the email provided on the FTC’s refund page.
Final Thoughts
Amazon’s $2.5 billion FTC settlement represents a major consumer redress effort, giving millions of users a chance to recoup unwanted Prime subscription charges.
While many will receive automatic refunds, eligible customers who fall into the claims group must act before the deadline by filing a refund claim using the official portal and notice information.
By following the steps above, carefully reviewing the eligibility criteria, and avoiding scams, you’ll maximize your chance of receiving your share of the settlement.

Intent of funds action being settled
I have not received any communication from Amazon concerning ID or pin. During the period in question I had one account for many years until I noticed I was being charged for two Amazon memberships. Originally I open an account using my email. I noticed that an account was opened using my phone number which My consent was never requested. when I tried to cancel it through the app there was no way available to cancel. I had to get one of their reps to help and I was told he only had the authority to refund only previous two months charges per Amazon policy. I should have been able recovery every duplicate charged Amazon.
Will you let me know?
