7. Key Deadlines You Should Know

To ensure you don’t miss out:

• Notice Deadline: Expected by January 23, 2026 for eligible claimants.
• Claim Filing Window: 180 days after your notice — typically until July 21–23, 2026.
• Review Period: Amazon reviews claims within 30 days of submission.

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.
