Specifically, card numbers, expiration dates, and cardholder names were compromised. The company said PIN numbers for debit cards and CVV2 numbers for credit cards weren’t affected, nor was drivers’ license information.
At the time, Wawa encouraged anyone who had shopped at a store within that time frame to check their debit and credit statements and to order a credit check.
Now, there may soon be a way for people who determined that they were affected to get compensated.
Customers who shopped at Wawa during the breach period would be able to file claims through this website, which isn’t live yet, but would become available with the approval of the settlement.
Anyone who has proof that they used their credit or debit cards at a Wawa between March 4 and Dec. 12 of 2019 would be eligible for a $5 gift card. Those who have proof of attempted or successful fraudulent charges can get a $15 card, and anyone who can prove they lost money — either due to theft, fees related to credit freezes, or fees from banks — might be able to get a cash payment up to $500.
The breach was broad. Wawa has said it’s possible it affected every location, and up to 30 million payment records.
