AMEX Antitrust Settlement

American Express had rules in its merchant agreements that prohibited merchants from encouraging customers to pay with a different card that charged lower fees. Plaintiffs alleged these anti-steering rules caused merchants to raise prices to cover Amex fees, resulting in all customers—including those not using Amex cards—paying more. American Express denies wrongdoing.

Settlement fund: $17.5M
Claim deadline: May 19, 2026
Represents: American Express Company, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
