I think this is pretty much bullshit. You have an annual membership fee. I think there should be a certain period where it does not reset your date. This just opens a can of worms, in my opinion.
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE
TO: All persons who, from March 1, 2001 through March 31, 2009, purchased and paid for a new 12-month term of Costco membership, including Gold Star (individual), Business, and Executive memberships, after the expiration of their prior annual Coscto memberships.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a proposed class action settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court in Rhonda Dupler v. Costco Wholesale Corporation, No. 06-CV-03141 (JFB) (ETB) (United States District Court, Eastern District of New York). The lawsuit challenges Costcos practice of deeming the 12-month term of memberships that are renewed after their expiration as having commenced on the expiration date, rather than on the date they are renewed. The lawsuit alleges that this practice is unlawful and deprives Costco members of a portion of the membership period for which they paid a renewal fee. Costco denies all claims and liability stated in the lawsuit.
If, at any time between March 1, 2001 and March 31, 2009, you renewed your Costco membership after the passage of its expiration date, your rights may be affected by the settlement of this lawsuit. For further information regarding the settlement and your rights, including information on how to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class or object to the terms of the settlement agreement, please visit the website http://www.costco.com/renewalsettlement.pdf. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the settlement information available on the website, please send a written request for these materials to REQUEST FOR NOTICE, P.O. Box 34682, Seattle, WA 98124 in sufficient time to be received by June 12, 2009.
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE COURT OR THE CLERKS OFFICE.
