Key facts
Circle K agreed to a proposed class action settlement to resolve claims arising from a May 2024 cyberattack on Gas Express, LLC d/b/a Circle K’s computer systems, in which files containing customers’ personal information, including names and Social Security numbers, may have been accessed. Circle K denies any wrongdoing, and the settlement is not an admission of fault.
If you are a U.S. resident who received a notice from Gas Express, LLC d/b/a Circle K stating that your personal information was impacted in the May 2024 data incident, you may be eligible for a flat $50 payment with no proof required, or up to $2,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses, plus two years of credit monitoring.

What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you needed proof for some claims but not others. The $50 alternative cash option did not require proof of a financial loss, but it was limited to eligible class members and subject to a claim cap. The separate option for up to $2,000 in qualifying losses required supporting documents. A personal statement alone was not enough for that option, and the claim deadline has passed. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Simpluris is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made, sometimes offering a payment election such as a check, a digital payment or a virtual card.
