Trader Joe’s settlement deadline is approaching. Here’s who can file a claim
Shoppers who used a card at Trader Joe’s between March 5 and July 19, 2019, may qualify for a payout of about $100 as part of a $7.4 million settlement.Summary
A $7.4 million class-action settlement tied to printed receipts is available to eligible Trader Joe’s shoppers. The lawsuit, filed in 2019, alleged that some stores violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing the first six and last four digits of customers' card numbers on receipts. Trader Joe’s denied any wrongdoing but agreed to settle. The deadline to file a claim is June 9. Eligible customers are those who made a purchase at a Trader Joe’s store between March 5, 2019, and July 19, 2019, using a credit or debit card and received a receipt displaying the first six and last four digits of their card number. Payments will depend on the number of valid claims filed and fees deducted from the settlement fund, with court documents estimating eligible shoppers could receive about $102 each. Checks would be mailed within 10 business days after final court approval.
