Common questions

What is the claim deadline for the Circle K (Gas Express) Data Breach Settlement?
The claim deadline is September 3, 2026. Filing is free and is done on the official settlement website at gasexpressdatasettlement.com.
Is the Circle K (Gas Express) Data Breach Settlement notice real, or a scam?
Not stated is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at gasexpressdatasettlement.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.
How long until I get paid from the Circle K (Gas Express) Data Breach Settlement?
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 September 18, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
What happens if I do nothing?
You receive no payment, and in most class actions you also give up the right to sue Gas Express, LLC d/b/a Circle K separately over these same claims. To keep that right you must opt out (exclude yourself) by September 3, 2026.
