If you accepted or processed Discover credit cards between 2007 – 2023, you could be eligible to get a payment from a class action settlement.
** YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A SETTLEMENT PAYMENT ** To receive a payment, file a claim by May 18, 2026. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
A proposed class action settlement has been reached in three related lawsuits. The lawsuits allege that, beginning in 2007, Discover misclassified certain Discover-issued consumer credit cards as commercial credit cards, which in turn caused merchants and others to incur excessive interchange fees. The misclassification did not impact cardholders. Discover denies the claims in the lawsuits, and the Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Instead, the proposed settlement, if approved, will resolve the lawsuits and provide benefits to Settlement Class Members.
WHO IS INCLUDED?
The Settlement Class includes all End Merchants, Merchant Acquirers, and Payment Intermediaries involved in processing or accepting a Misclassified Card Transaction during the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2023. To view the full Settlement Class definition, including defined terms and excluded entities, go to www. DiscoverMerchantSettlement. com.
WHAT CAN I GET?
To receive a settlement payment, with very limited exceptions, you will need to file a claim by May 18, 2026 and / or provide additional information to the Settlement
Do you have questions or need additional information?
Administrator. Under the proposed settlement, Discover will make payments to eligible Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims. Discover has agreed to pay between $ 540 million and $ 1.225 billion plus interest in connection with this settlement. Your settlement payment amount will be calculated based on a variety of factors.
YOUR OTHER OPTIONS.
You can file a claim for a payment by May 18, 2026 and / or provide additional information. Alternatively, you can exclude yourself from the settlement by opting out, in which case you will receive no payment under this settlement and retain any right you may have to sue Discover about the claims in these lawsuits or related to the Misclassified Card Transactions. If you do not exclude yourself, and the Court approves the settlement, you will be bound by the Court’ s orders and judgments and will release any claims against Discover in these lawsuits or related to the Misclassified Card Transactions. If you do not exclude yourself, you can object to or comment on any part of the settlement. The deadline to either exclude yourself or object to the settlement is March 25, 2026.
