No. 17-cv-01622-MLB (N.D. Ga.)
IHG Data Security Settlement
If You Used a Credit or Debit Card at an InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Branded Hotel Location Between August 1, 2016 and December 29, 2016, You Could Get Money from a Class Action Settlement.
A federal court ordered the Notice and this website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving malware intrusions that affected certain Inter-Continental Hotels Corporation and InterContinental Hotels Group Resources, Inc. (“IHG”)-branded hotel, restaurant and bar locations at varying times between August 1, 2016 through December 29, 2016 (the “Data Security Incidents”).
The affected hotel brands include InterContinential, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites, and Hotel Indigo. The specific hotel locations and time frames during which the IHG-branded hotel, restaurant, and bar locations were affected by the Data Security Incidents are available in the "Property List" in the 'Documents' section of this website.
The Settlement includes all persons who reside in the United States and used a payment card at the front desk of an affected hotel location or to make or attempt to make a purchase at an affected restaurant or bar location (identified in the 'Documents' section of this website) during the period in which that hotel, restaurant, or bar was affected by the Data Security Incidents.
The Settlement provides for payments to people who submit valid claims for documented out-of-pocket expenses of up to $250 that either of the Data Security Incidents was a contributing factor to the expense being incurred, and for reimbursement of documented fraudulent and unauthorized losses of up to $3,500 that were more likely than not caused by the Data Security Incidents. The total payments to the class are capped at $1,550,000.
Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing.
Read the Notice carefully.
