NEW OPPORTUNITY: Discover Card Class Action

Brownstone is pleased to share that a new settlement involving Discover Card has been announced with enrollment requirements very similar to the VISA/MasterCard suit. Even if your Discover volume has been modest, we strongly encourage you to have us file a claim on your behalf.

We are finalizing a streamlined enrollment process that will use the information we already have on file to make this as easy as possible. We expect to open enrollment within the next 4–6 weeks, well ahead of any claim filing deadlines.

Disclaimer: Claim forms are not yet available. Class members need not sign up for a third-party service to participate in any
monetary relief. No-cost assistance is available from the Class Administrator and Class Counsel during the claims -filing
