Living Social Voucher Class Action Settlement
By Sarah Pierce
Details on how to file a claim for the Living Social class action lawsuit settlement have arrived. If you purchased or received a Living Social deal voucher before October 2012, you may be entitled to a refund from the $4.5 million class action settlement.
The Living Social settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, titled In Re: Living Social Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, that alleges the daily deal site’s vouchers are “gift certificates” and therefore cannot legally expire for at least five years after they’re sold.
Living Social denies it violated any laws, but has agreed to a $4.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Living Social class action settlement include all persons in the United States who purchased or received any Living Social deal voucher prior to October 1, 2012.
Settlement Class Members are eligible to receive up to 100% of the amount they paid for any Living Social deal voucher that they still hold and have been unable to redeem. This amount may be reduced based on how many people file valid claims.
Any funds left over after payment of Settlement Class Members’ claims will be distributed to the National Consumers League and Consumers Union, which are both not-for-profit organizations that represent consumers on marketplace and technology issues, among other things.
In addition, Living Social has agreed to make the following changes in business practices under the proposed class action lawsuit settlement:
— For Deals that can have their value split into “paid value” and “promotional value” portions, Living Social will: (1) specifically identify the “promotional” and “paid” portions on the Deal Voucher and on its website, and (2) include the terms “promotional” and “paid” and capitalize the associated expiration dates in at least 10-point font on the Deal Voucher and on its website.
— For Deals that can be split into “paid value” and “promotional value” components, the paid value will not expire prior to the expiry period provided for gift certificates by the CARD Act or the applicable state law, whichever period is longer.
— Living Social will state in its terms and conditions that a person can request a refund for the amount paid for any unredeemed Deal Voucher within seven days of the purchase. Additionally, Living Social will include in its terms and conditions a mechanism to allow a person to request a refund for the paid value of their Deal if the Deal is unredeemed and the merchant has gone out of business before the promotional expiration date.
The only way to receive a refund from the Living Social voucher class action settlement is to submit a claim form either online at www.LivingSocialVoucherSettlement.com or mailed to the Settlement Administrator no later than February 8, 2013.
A Final Fairness Hearing will be held on March 7, 2013.

I did file filled out info & was given a class member number…. 80009546 i have not heard anything since I was assigned this number on 12 / 4/ 2012. What should be my next step?
I filed the claim form on time for the living soical top class lawsuit. How do I find out if it was received or not?
I cannot find where it saved a copy of the claim form on my computer.
Thanks
I have the same question as Demi (post #7). I filled out my form online but didn’t submit in time and now I can’t access it. I need a blank copy!
Does anyone have a copy of the Living Social Settlement Claim Form? The expiration date is Feb 8th. But, they will accept additional claims if you have the claim form already printed. They just are not allowed to issue forms.
How can I get a “Class Member Number” (needed to complete the form for the Toprolol suit) ?

Corinne, see the last line of the article above. We don’t process claims here. You have to go to the settlement administrator to submit a claim. If you don’t submit a claim through them you may not get paid!

I hope you submit your claim through the settlement administrator!
