Trader Joe's Settlement: Claim Your Cash!
8 Jun
Summary
- Customers may receive over $100 from a $7.4M settlement.
- The settlement is for a 2019 incident involving credit card digits.
- Claims must be filed by Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Trader Joe's customers have a critical deadline approaching: Tuesday, June 9, 2026, to file a claim for a portion of a $7.4 million class action settlement. This payout resolves a lawsuit accusing the grocery chain of including the first six and last four digits of customers' credit card numbers on receipts during an incident in 2019.
While Trader Joe's has not admitted wrongdoing, they agreed to the settlement. Potentially affected shoppers, who have been notified via email or mail, could receive an estimated $102.45 each. The final payout amount per customer hinges on the total number of claims filed. Transactions made between March 5, 2019, and July 19, 2019, at certain stores qualify.
The lawsuit was initiated in July 2019, alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The settlement awaits final court approval, with a hearing slated for early August. This is not Trader Joe's' first legal settlement; the company previously paid out $1.3 million in 2021 for underfilled tuna tins.
