Portland WinCo shoppers could receive $200 due to class action suit
An Oregon judge must approve the settlement at a hearing later in August.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — If you’re a frequent WinCo Foods customer in Portland, a $200 check could be headed your way.
As first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive, July 9 is the deadline to file a claim against the company if you paid a surcharge for non-grocery items between June 2019 and May 8, 2022.
Earlier this year, WinCo reached a settlement after plaintiffs accused the company of charging customers an additional 1% tax instead of funding Portland’s Clean Energy Surcharge itself.
According to the class action administrators at CPT Group, the grocer denied violating the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act — but still agreed to the proposed $3.36 million settlement.
Those who file a claim online or by mail could receive up to $200.
However, an Oregon judge must approve the settlement at a hearing later in August.
