FTC Expands Amazon Prime Refunds, Increasing Payouts for Deceptive Enrollment Practices

FTC Expands Amazon Prime Refunds, Increasing Payouts for Deceptive Enrollment Practices

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced an expansion of its settlement with Amazon regarding alleged deceptive enrollment and cancellation practices for Amazon Prime. The revised order will make millions more consumers eligible for refunds and increase the maximum payment individuals can receive from $51 to as much as $200. According to Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, this updated order aims to ensure more consumers harmed by Amazon’s practices benefit from the settlement. The FTC alleged that Amazon enrolled millions of customers into Prime subscriptions without their consent and made it unnecessarily difficult for members to cancel. Amazon has already distributed over $845 million to consumers, but the new terms will broaden the pool of eligible recipients. To qualify, consumers must have been an Amazon Prime customer in the U.S., signed up or attempted to cancel between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and used no more than 20 Prime benefits during a...

Senator Ben Ray Luján Addresses Dynamic Pricing Legislation in the Senate

Senator Ben Ray Luján Addresses Dynamic Pricing Legislation in the Senate

Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) is actively involved in legislative efforts concerning dynamic pricing, a practice where retailers adjust prices based on various factors, including consumer data. This initiative mirrors similar legislation introduced in the House by Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). The focus of these legislative efforts is to prevent price manipulation, particularly when it involves personalized pricing based on an individual's personal data. Maryland recently enacted the Protection From Predatory Pricing Act (HB 895), banning such practices effective October 1, 2026. This law specifically prohibits retailers from setting personalized prices for goods or services based on personal data, though it does not apply to discounts from loyalty programs or price adjustments due to taxes or shipping costs. The Maryland law also addresses broader algorithmic pricing methods, a concern shared by other states like California, Hawaii, and New York, which are also pursuing similar legislation. The i...
