Amazon Prime Refund- in US dollars

wildhorse1986

I have just been sent $51 from amazon as part of it's settlement agreement . It seems genuine. But my Building  Society wont accept the cheque as it is a foreign currency ( US $$). Can anyone suggest how I can cash the cheque? I dont have an alternative  bank account.

As part of what now?

$51 sounds like this:

OP if you qualify for the refund, were you resident in the US at the time? Do you still have access to a US bank account?

Consumers outside of the US were not covered by the settlement so some background on how you obtained it may be helpful? 

Most high street banks will accept a foreign currency cheque though the fees are fairly steep and may take most of the value of the cheque

I've received $25 in a cheque too.  It says on the letter you can get it paid via paypal which I thought might be worth a go, but I can't work out how without 'filing a claim'. Especially since I'm not sure why I qualify?! I have used amazon.com to send gifts to my sister who lived there, so I'm assuming it's that?
