Trader Joe's shoppers have until June 9, 2026, to file a claim for a $7.4 million settlement stemming from a class-action lawsuit alleging that the grocer printed debit or credit card receipts in a way that potentially exposed customers to identity theft. The suit, filed after a 2019 incident in Florida where a plaintiff's receipt showed the first six and last four digits of his card number, claims this violates the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. Trader Joe's has denied these allegations and any wrongdoing. Eligibility is limited to those who used credit or debit cards at specific stores between March 5, 2019, and July 19, 2019, and whose receipts were formatted to include the first six and last four digits of their card numbers. The settlement fund of $7.4 million will cover payments to eligible class members, with an estimated payout of $102.45 per claim, depending on the total number of claims submitted. Final payments are contingent upon the total number of eligible claims.
