Proof Required?
Costco is facing a $14 million class action settlement over marketing emails sent to Washington state residents. The lawsuit claims that Costco sent commercial emails that may have violated Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act (CAN-SPAM related state law), which gives residents certain protections around unsolicited promotional messages. If you live in Washington and received a marketing or promotional email from Costco between June 2, 2021 and July 7, 2026, you may be entitled to a cash payment — and the best part is that no proof is required to file. You don't need to dig up old emails or provide documentation to participate. This is a straightforward settlement for Washington residents who were on Costco's email list during the covered period. Even if you're a Costco member who opted in to receive emails, you may still qualify. Filing takes just a few minutes, and Class Action Buddy can walk you through the whole process.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You are a resident of Washington state
  • You received at least one marketing or promotional email from Costco
  • The email was received between June 2, 2021 and July 7, 2026

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $14 million, which will be divided among all valid claimants. The exact amount each person receives depends on how many people file a claim — the more people who file, the smaller each individual share. However, because no proof is required, participation is open to a wide range of Washington residents, which could affect the per-person payout.
