The deadline to file a claim is Monday, July 27.

Based on the settlement reached last year, Amazon agreed to pay $1.5 billion in refunds to customers affected by its Prime enrollment in addition to a $1 billion civil penalty. Amazon denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Some customers received automatic refunds in November and December of 2025.
