WASHINGTON—The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Wednesday rejected a bid by Amazon.com Inc. to quash demands that both Chief Executive Andy Jassy and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos testify at investigative hearings.

Last month, Amazon questioned what it called the agency’s “burdensome” requests in its investigation of the sign-up and cancellation processes for its Prime program.
