Trader Joe’s shoppers may be eligible for a payout of approximately $102.45 each from a $7.4 million class action settlement. The lawsuit arose after customers alleged that the grocery chain violated federal law by printing too many digits of credit card numbers on receipts. The claim was initiated by Brian Keim, who noticed that his receipt displayed the first six and last four digits of his credit card, raising concerns about identity theft. To qualify for the payout, shoppers must have made purchases at Trader Joe’s between March 5 and July 19, 2019, and must submit their claims by June 9, 2023. Notifications about eligibility will be sent via email or postcard to eligible customers.
