The grocery chain is settling a $7.4 million lawsuit over claims that receipts showed too much card information.
www.today.comTrader Joe’s has agreed to a $7.4 million settlement related to receipts that reportedly displayed too many digits of customers’ credit/debit card information. Eligible shoppers who made purchases between March and July 2019 may file a claim; typical payouts are around $100, with final amounts determined by the number of valid claims and total funds remaining after fees.[1][2][3]
Key details to know now:
- Settlement amount: $7.4 million total, plus a portion for attorneys’ fees and administrative costs. Each eligible claimant is estimated to receive roughly $102.45, though exact amounts will depend on claim volume.[2][1]
- Claim window: Claims must be submitted by the deadlines set by the court; some reports indicate a June 6, 2026 deadline in initial notices, though you should verify the current cutoff on the official settlement site or notice received if you were mailed one.[3][4]
- Hearing and final approval: A fairness hearing is scheduled (e.g., August 10, 2026) to approve the settlement before any payments are issued.[2]
What you can do next:
- Check if you’re part of the settlement class. If you used a card at Trader Joe’s between March 2019 and July 2019, you may be eligible. Look for a settlement notice via email or postcard or visit the official settlement site to confirm your status.[4][2]
- If eligible, submit a claim form by the stated deadline to receive a potential payout. If you filed, you’ll be notified of the amount based on the number of valid claims.[2]
- Monitor the final approval and payment timeline. Payments typically occur after the court grants final approval and after any appeals are resolved, which may extend beyond the initial claim window.[2]
