What happened

Compass Group USA, Inc. (Canteen) allegedly charged consumers more than the displayed price for items purchased from certain vending machines when customers used credit, debit, or prepaid cards, without disclosing the extra card-use charges to consumers.

Do you qualify?

Excluded are vending machines that had a cash discount sticker or digital shopping cart displaying both prices at the time of purchase.

Common questions

How much does the Canteen Vending Machine Overcharge Settlement pay?
Estimated payout: $30–$360. The total settlement fund is $6.9M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
What is the claim deadline for the Canteen Vending Machine Overcharge Settlement?
This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was November 14, 2025. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
Is the Canteen Vending Machine Overcharge Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Claims are filed at vendingmachinesettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
When will payments from the Canteen Vending Machine Overcharge Settlement be sent?
Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for January 9, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
