Consumers who made a purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store between May 10, 2019, and Nov. 14, 2025, may be eligible to claim a merchandise certificate worth $30 off a future in-store purchase from a class action settlement.

Michael Kors (USA) Inc. agreed to pay up to $1.99 million to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging it engaged in misleading advertising practices at its outlet stores.

Who are the class members?

The class includes all individuals in the United States who made a qualifying purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store between May 10, 2019, and Nov. 14, 2025, that advertised discounts influenced. They also must not have received a refund or credit for the purchase.

There are two main categories of class members:

  • California or Oregon KORSVIP authorized claimants: These are KORSVIP account holders with a California or Oregon mailing address on file with Michael Kors who made a qualifying purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store in California or Oregon during the class period.
  • Nationwide authorized claimants: These are individuals who made a qualifying purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store during the class period but do not meet the criteria for the California or Oregon KORSVIP category.

How much is the Michael Kors payout?

Eligible class members can receive a$30 merchandise certificate, which they can use toward a single purchase at any Michael Kors Outlet store. They can combine the certificate with other discounts available to the general public but cannot use it for cash, to purchase gift cards or combined with other merchandise certificates. It expires 90 days after issuance and has no residual value if used for a purchase less than $30.

Here are the details for each category:

  • California or Oregon KORSVIP authorized claimants: Automatically receive one $30 merchandise certificate if they do not opt out or object
  • Nationwide authorized claimants: Must submit a valid claim form to receive one $30 merchandise certificate

Nationwide authorized claimants can file a claim online or download, print and complete a PDF claim form to mail to the settlement administrator.
