Schnucks agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims it charged sales tax on the full pre-discount price of purchases instead of the lower, discounted price.

The Schnucks settlement benefits Schnucks Rewards members who redeemed rewards points on purchases of tax-eligible items at a Schnucks store in Missouri between May 2, 2020, and Aug. 7, 2026.

According to the class action lawsuit, Schnucks charged sales tax on the full pre-discount price of purchases instead of the lower, discounted price. Plaintiffs in the case say this practice violated Missouri law.

Under the terms of the Schnucks settlement, class members can receive a cash payment of $7.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 3, 2026.
