Circle K data breach Settlement Deadline: September 3, 2026
Updated June 2026 · Filing window closes in … days
The claim deadline is September 3, 2026. If you received a data breach notification letter from Gas Express d/b/a Circle K between May 2024 and September 2026, you have until September 3, 2026 to claim your $50 cash payment plus 2 years of free credit monitoring with $1 million in fraud insurance.
Why this deadline is strict
Data breach settlements are unusually strict on deadlines because the $50 cash component pulls from a fixed fund. Once the claim window closes, the per-person payment is locked. The credit monitoring is also time-limited — you can't enroll late.
What happens after September 3, 2026
After September 3, 2026, the administrator validates that each claimant was actually on the breach notification list. Court approval and the 30-day appeal window follow. Cash payments arrive Q1-Q2 2027; credit monitoring activation emails go out shortly after the final approval order.
Could the deadline be extended?
Data breach class action deadlines are occasionally extended when notice didn't reach the affected list well (e.g., outdated addresses). No public indication of an extension here. File early.
What if I miss it?
You get nothing — and because you didn't opt out before the exclusion deadline, you're still bound by the settlement's legal release, meaning you can't separately sue Circle for the same conduct. Missing the deadline means losing both the payment and the right to seek other compensation. The downside of filing is zero; the downside of not filing is permanent.
