🚨 **SAVVY ALERT: Amazon Prime refunds are expanding October 1.**
The FTC says millions of additional eligible U.S. Prime customers will begin receiving **automatic refunds starting October 1, 2026** as part of the Amazon Prime settlement.
Here’s what you need to know:
💜 Eligible customers do **not** need to file a claim or complete additional paperwork for these expanded automatic payments.
💚 Payments may arrive through PayPal, Venmo, or a mailed check.
💛 Refunds are based on eligibility and Prime fees paid, with a **maximum total settlement payment of $200**. That does NOT mean everyone will receive $200.
🧡 Most importantly: **The FTC is NOT contacting people about these refunds, and Amazon will never ask you to pay money to receive one.**
So if an unexpected text, email, or call tells you to click a link, provide personal information, or pay a fee to “claim” your refund—**STOP.**
👑 **One Small Step Today:**
Before responding to any unexpected refund message, verify it through an official source.
