Trader Joe’s Paying Customers in Class Action Settlement: Who Is Eligible? | Claims, Lawsuit, Settlement, Trader Joes | Celebrity News and Gossip | Entertainment, Photos and Videos
Trader Joe’s is paying out customers following a class action lawsuit, and you might be eligible to get some of the payment.
Plaintiff Brian Keim sued the store, alleging Trader Joe’s willfully violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing point-of-sale receipts for credit and debit card transactions at its stores that displayed the first six and last four digits of the card number making them susceptible to identity theft, which the company denies.

Under FACTA, businesses are prohibited from printing more than the last five digits of a customer’s credit or debit card on receipts, per USA Today.
Trader Joe’s says not all stores printed receipts with the first six and last four digits of the card number, and only a small number of transactions at some stores had that information on the receipts.
An official website has been launched to file a claim as part of the settlement, which you can visit here.
Per the official settlement site, the Court did not decide in favor of Plaintiff or Trader Joe’s. Instead, both sides agreed to this settlement.
“That way, Plaintiff and Trader Joe’s insurer avoid the risk and cost of continued litigation, and the Settlement Class Members will receive compensation,” the site notes.
Per the claims website: “If you made a purchase at a Trader Joe’s store using a credit card or debit card between March 5, 2019 and July 19, 2019, you may be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.”
The potential payment “will depend on the total number of valid and timely claims submitted by Settlement Class Members, but Plaintiff estimates $102.45.”
If you think you are eligible, you can click here to file your claim. Customers who are not sure whether they are included can visit the site, call the settlement hotline at 1-888-444-7415 or write to the claims administrator.

The Business Platinum Card from American Express
Luxury-minded travelers who qualify for a business card will love the many perks that come with an Amex Business Platinum Card membership.
THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $20,000 on purchases in the first three months of card membership.
Why we love it: Carly Helfand, TPG’s director of points, miles and credit card content, loves the statement credits on her Amex Business Platinum, especially since they led to her enjoying up to $600 in hotel credits** last year. She said she’s already used the benefit twice — once last December for a stay at Wynn Las Vegas and once in February for a stay at the Andaz Prague.
Carly also loves the card’s Hilton statement credit of up to $50 per quarter on eligible purchases made directly with a property in the Hilton portfolio***. She said she finds these credits super easy to maximize and recently used one to cover poolside dining charges at the Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia, Curio Collection by Hilton in Portugal.

**The hotel credits are received as two statement credits of up to $300 biannually on prepaid American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection bookings with Amex Travel when you pay with your Amex Business Platinum. The Hotel Collection stays require a two-night minimum.
***Enrollment is required. Separate Hilton for Business program membership is required.
The Atmos Rewards Summit is an excellent card for Alaska and Hawaiian loyalists, but there’s plenty for other types of travelers to love as well.
THE POINTS GUY

Why we love it: Even though senior credit cards editor Giselle Gomez doesn’t live in an Alaska Airlines hub, she decided to open the Summit because she frequently flies with Oneworld alliance partners. She said she loves that she can rack up Atmos Rewards points to redeem them for flights with partner airlines.
Plus, the card earns 3 points per dollar spent on foreign purchases, which makes it an easy go-to option when she’s abroad.
The Venture Rewards stands out as a fantastic option for travelers looking to collect valuable rewards with simplicity.

Disney fans, listen up: The all-new Disney Inspire Visa can unlock massive savings for your next trip to the castle.
THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Receive a $300 electronic Disney gift card immediately upon approval, plus earn a $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Why we love it: Senior points and miles editor Gabrielle Bernardini visits Disney World a few times a year, so she enjoys receiving a $100 statement credit each anniversary year (after spending $200 on U.S. park tickets) with the Disney Inspire.
This perk helps Gabrielle offset one of the biggest Disney vacation expenses: park tickets.
In the world of cobranded hotel cards, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant provides solid top-tier perks for those loyal to the brand.
THE POINTS GUY
Welcome offer: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first six months of card membership. This offer ends May 13.
Why we love it: Senior editor Christine Gallipeau initially added the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant to her wallet to receive the card’s automatic Platinum Elite status, which she knew she’d take full advantage of while traveling, as well as during staycations in the Washington, D.C., area with her hotel-loving pup. However, it now stays in her wallet for several other reasons.
In addition to enjoying late checkout and free breakfast at select Marriott properties, Christine also maximizes the card’s dining statement credits (up to $25 each month for eligible dining purchases worldwide). She also loves applying her annual free night award (worth up to 85,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees) toward a staycation each year at one of her favorite local hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Washington, D.C., where rates are often close to or over $1,000 a night.
