☆ Amazon's Project Iliad: The juiciest highlights from the FTC's Prime lawsuit
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Eugene Kim | Yeji Jesse Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Here are the highlights:Amazon called the difficult cancellation process the "Iliad" in reference to Homer's epic poem, as Insider previously reported. The suit describes the Iliad process as "Prime's Four-Page, Six-Click, Fifteen-Option Iliad Cancellation Process" because it takes that many steps to cancel. Amazon has two ways to upsell Amazon Prime to customers: interstitials and non-interstitials. It's equally difficult to cancel Prime on a mobile device, involving an 8-page, 8-click minimum process, the FTC investigation found. Amazon failed to "provide simple mechanisms for a consumer to stop recurring charges" for the Prime membership.
