Consumers who received a text message from SuperAmerica between January 1, 2012 and April 1, 2015, are eligible to receive $50 in cash and a $50 SuperAmerica gift card (good towards gas and other SuperAmerica products) from a class action settlement. The convenience store giant has agreed to settle a class action stemming from allegations that it violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending advertisement text messages to an estimated 175,000 recipients without their express consent.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, known as TCPA, was signed into law to protect consumers from unsolicited calls and text messages from automated dialers. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has outlined specific rules in the TCPA that restrict companies from sending promotional or advertising text messages without having received written consent from the recipient. Companies in violation of this law can be held accountable to pay consumers per text violation. The claims deadline closes on June 15, 2017.
