Eligibility
Who may qualify?
Check the covered dates, products, locations, and other official terms before you file.
- You had a Costco membership subject to automatic annual renewal, with renewal charges made to a stored payment method (such as a credit card).
- You received an email renewal notice approximately 60 days before the renewal date, outside the 15–45 day window specified in California’s Automatic Renewal Law.
- The renewal notice did not include all required information, including the renewal length/terms, the amount to be charged, and clear methods to cancel the auto‑renewal, before your card was charged.
- Your membership was renewed and your payment card was charged even though you were reconsidering or would have cancelled had you received a timely, compliant notice (similar to the named plaintiff’s allegation).
- You were a California consumer at the time of the renewal, since the claims are brought under California’s ARL and related California consumer‑protection statutes.
