Six Flags Entertainment, Great America, and other defendants have entered into a proposed $450,000 settlement agreement in which certain parkgoers can claim up to $40 in cash and vouchers. 

The proposed nationwide Class includes anyone who visited a Six Flags theme park or water park in the United States between Oct. 14, 2016, and Sept. 28, 2017, and used a credit or debit card for a purchase at the park and received a printed receipt.

The plaintiffs in four class action lawsuits alleged Great America LLC violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing more than the first five digits of credit and debit card numbers on customer receipts or by failing to hide the cards’ expiration dates on receipts.

The following parks are covered by this class action settlement (dates are inclusive):

• Six Flags New England: April 8, 2017, through Sept. 28, 2017
• Six Flags St. Louis: March 25, 2017, through Sept. 28, 2017
• Six Flags America: April 1, 2017, through Sept. 28, 2017

All U.S. season pass holders or members who were season pass holders or members during the Class Period and visited at least one covered park between Oct. 14, 2016, and Sept. 28, 2017, inclusive, and for whom the defendants have an email or physical address will automatically receive a $13 voucher usable same as cash at any park for two years from the date it is issued.

Those who do not fit the above description may submit a claim for a $13 voucher by certifying they made a purchase at one of the covered parks during the same period, or up to $27 per transaction if they can provide proof of the transaction.

Class Members who receive a voucher automatically may also file a claim for a cash payment, but not for a second voucher.
