More Payments Coming for Amazon Prime Customers. See Who Might Receive the Money
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
More Amazon customers will receive payments from the $2.5 billion settlement reached after accusations that the company enrolled users in Prime subscriptions without their consent and deliberately made it difficult to cancel the service. The announcement was made this Thursday by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), following a federal court's approval of a joint motion between the FTC and Amazon that allows for broader and faster payments to consumers. The FTC stated in a release that, according to the revised order, more consumers will be eligible for Amazon refunds, the maximum payment limit has increased from $51 to $200 in total, and all future payments will be distributed automatically, removing the requirement for consumers to submit claims or additional documents to Amazon. With the new order, Amazon will issue automatic payments as compensation to millions of additional consumers who used between 11 and 20 Prime benefits over a one-year period. The original order required refunds of up to $51 for those who had used fewer than 10 benefits.
