Tuna class action lawsuit Get $25 cash or $50 tuna

For those who got the coupon, but haven't yet cashed it in, you have to buy at least 3 Starkist items then the $5.03 is taken off your total grocery bill. At my neighborhood Kroger outlet those pouches are $1.00 each and 6 oz cans of chunk light in water are $.95, so you still pocket about $2.00 net. A fur piece from $50! Hope the lawyers choke on their tuna (JK).

Thanks for the tip! I was wondering exactly how it works.

Hey, remember this? I (finally) got a coupon for $5.03, good if I use it to buy 3 cans/envelopes of tuna. OK, so it isn't $50, or $25, or even a check, but it is SOMETHING. And didn't cost anything to apply. And it only took 4 YEARS! Sheesh!

Yep . . . got ours earlier this week too . . . same $5.03 coupon.
 
I always buy Kirkland solid Albacore and didn't give a thought today to which 3 Starkist products to buy to cash in my coupon (wouldn't want them to run out of money). So I went cheap and put the 'Chunk Light' in my basket. DON'T DO THAT. The stuff is virtually pureed! I suppose you could dump it in a seive for a while to drain and solidify it some, but my remaining can is going back. It's AWFUL! I've seen more appetizing cat food.

Agreed . . . solid white is the way to go.
 
Resurrecting this thread to report I just received a colossal check for $2.38.

Cheers
 
and to think they probably spent another .53 cents to mail each one! (not including the cost of printing and envelope stuffing)
 
My check for $2.38 arrived today too. I wonder how much the law firm got!
 
I don't recall the terms of the settlement agreement, but I'm curious why some of us got the coupon for $5.03 off a purchase rather than the $2.38 check? I'm happy with what we got and used, just curious.
 
Did anyone get BOTH the $5.03 coupon AND the $2.38 check? I wondered if it is an either/or situation. Not that it comes anywhere close to the carrot they dangled in front of us at the outset- or makes anyone's Christmas any brighter.

My recollection is that we made the choice when we filed. It was one or the other...

Actually it does for me since this is the first time I’ve gotten anything positive from a lawyer:D

Being married to one, I get LOTS of positive stuff from at least one lawyer. Sure beats arguing with 'em. I lose every time.
 
Today, I received that big check $2.38. I guess we didn’t eat enough of Charlie tuna.

Since the free tuna option was $50 and the check was for $25, it seems that those that got coupons got about double the value of those that took checks.

Thanks! What I could have done with $50 worth of tuna! LOL

We did get the $5 worth, however and enjoyed it too :)
