Overview
- The $7.4 million deal resolves a 2019 class-action suit that accused Trader Joe’s of printing the first six and last four digits of customers’ payment cards on some receipts.
- Only customers who made purchases at Trader Joe’s and received receipts showing those first six and last four card digits during the class window, March 5 to July 19, 2019, may file claims.
- The deadline to submit a claim is June 9 and claimants can apply online or by mail through the settlement website or call the administrator hotline at 1-888-444-7415 for help.
- Each approved claimant is estimated to receive about $102.45, but final payments will shrink if many valid claims are filed and after attorneys’ fees and settlement costs are deducted.
- Trader Joe’s denies liability and a court noted no identity-theft reports tied to the receipts; the settlement still requires judicial approval at a hearing in August before any checks are issued.
