$7 Schnucks Sales Tax Settlement: How to Claim (No proof)

What happened

Class period: May 2, 2020, through August 7, 2026

• Sharon Garcia sued Schnuck Markets, Inc. in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri (Garcia v. Schnuck Market, Inc., Case No. 25SL-CC04761)
• The lawsuit claims that when Schnucks Rewards Members redeemed Rewards Points at Missouri stores, Schnucks charged Missouri sales tax on the full, pre-discount price instead of the lower, discounted price
• Schnucks denies it did anything wrong but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of a trial
• The settlement covers about 900,000 class members
• Schnucks will also change its point-of-sale (POS) system so future Rewards Points redemptions are treated as a pre-tax discount
