What Happened With Amazon Prime?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took issue with Amazon for making it too easy to accidentally sign up for Amazon Prime. After legal actions, Amazon agreed to pay around $1 billion in fines, which is described as “Uncle Sam's cut.”
In addition, Amazon will spend $1.5 billion to compensate consumers who unintentionally signed up for the service. Approximately 35 million people may qualify to receive up to $51 each.
Amazon’s Position
Amazon has denied any wrongdoing and says it works very hard to make all of its services very transparent to customers.
The company asserts it continues to uphold these principles, especially after paying the $2.5 billion settlement.
Additional Information
- Amazon pulled a popular free perk recently.
- There have been warnings about an Amazon Quality Inspection scam.
Summary
This settlement offers consumers who unintentionally signed up for Amazon Prime a chance to reclaim some money, reflecting accountability measures in large digital services.
