Amazon customers in the U.S. will be receiving refunds over the next few weeks due to a settled lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The lawsuit, worth $2.5 billion, was over allegedly unlawful Prime enrollment and cancellation practices.
The settlement requires Amazon to end unlawful enrollment and cancellation practices for Prime.
The refunds are automatic, and most eligible customers won't need to take action.
The FTC lawsuit settlement only applies to customers in the U.S., making Canadians ineligible for the refund.
Author's summary: Amazon Prime refunds are available to U.S. customers only.
