The claim is about tax on reward-discounted purchases

The Schnucks Rewards sales-tax settlement lists November 3, 2026 for valid claims. Eligible rewards members redeemed points on tax-eligible purchases at Missouri Schnucks stores from May 2, 2020 through August 7, 2026, primarily for personal, family or household purposes. In-person and online purchases can be included.

The notice describes a $7 payment per valid claim. Membership alone, purchases in a different state or shopping without redeeming points does not establish eligibility. The disputed issue is how Missouri sales tax was calculated when reward points reduced the purchase price.

The system change has a separate deadline

Schnucks also agreed to change its point-of-sale system so reward redemptions are treated as a pretax discount for future Missouri purchases, no later than March 31, 2027. That future deadline does not prove every store has already changed its system today.

A valid claim is the route to cash, while final approval remains a separate step. Keep relevant rewards records and confirmation. A small payment and a future operational change are different remedies; neither should be described as a refund of all sales tax on every grocery trip.
