Amazon has begun sending payments to eligible Prime members as part of a $2.5 billion settlement related to federal claims that it misled customers.
In September, the e-commerce giant agreed to the payouts to settle a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission in 2023. The lawsuit claimed that Amazon misled customers into enrolling in Prime and made it difficult for them to cancel their memberships.
