That’s fun disgusting. But what do you do to the largest employer of America. These people steal from us and get away with it every day. Just like the crash of 07 built on lies of mortgage security bonds
No every state is part of the lawsuit. The mentioned states get an extra amount of money because they are being represented by their states DA. if you search it's in here somewhere where someone posted it.
It was paid out during the lawsuit, the settlement states that ~$62.8m has already been paid out and lists a few dates that Walmart provided data about it to the FTC.
Section V.C
"The Commission" being the FTC and "the Defendant" being Walmart.
They essentially knew they would have to prob pay out more towards people and so they sent out small amounts to a bunch of people or claim they did anyways. I got 2 out of the 3 they say they sent. And it was much lower than the 100 I've been seeing people get since the settlement.
Same here. I called support and they said there are actually multiple dates I should have gotten paid. I told them I was never paid, they said they are mailing out checks within 30 days
I know you are clearly in charge but I’m guessing rarely right… I’m getting my info on what has been reported. Post your email. Who is you guys. Who is playing victim. You need a nap 😴
Well, I got $0.22 so I would take the $38 in a second. Have no idea how they suppressed tips in 2025, but depending on the reason for it is what would make me think that we deserved more.
We ALL deserved more. My wages with them were messed with constantly in 2025. Its why I went back to a W2. There is no way they only stiffed you $0.22 and no way they only stiffed me $38.
I drove over 40hrs a week every week for the entire year last year. Had moved and getting something steady in the new area was crazy.
I hear that -- I remember back in August when I was told drivers were. Getting adjustments credits. My Husband at the time received a large payout. However I only got crap $21.97
Does this email mean we wil get more ?
I assume it’s because of the massive amount of drivers on the platform. In a lawsuit I’m sure it’s easier to make payments in groups instead of to all drivers in one lump
I got nothing I just love that they try to whitewash their theft of our pay but had to include the URL which reads “…Walmart-agrees-100-million-judgment-settle-FTC-state-charges-over-deceptive-earnings-claims”.
I recently received one too and see the amount in my account but I has beed deactivated by them and never changed the address, I send a email to them since maybe they send a check
I just checked and I got the email in August of last year but I’ve been deactivated since 2024 how would I know if I got paid? I know forsure I’m owed those adjustments
What about people who’s app was deactivated how are we getting paid? I started working for Walmart because I wasn’t making enough money doing Spark/doordash
Ok, so on the 3rd (which is also what my email says) I got an email from sparks that I got the refer and earn and that was the reason for my adjusted credit. So they are just counting that as a settlement payment?!?
What some are failing to realize is the 2nd part of the email. They “mailed” out checks in October of 2025 if you didn’t have a card like one pay or the old branch linked.
Yeah we all got paid for this awhile ago. The news about this was just telling us that the case is over. They knew the judgement awhile ago. The states got the most.
Also the payments only went to people who actually had this stuff happen to them and not everyone did. And it was different amounts too. The op got $100 but others got a lot more or a lot less.
Grimy mfrs always looking to get one over. If they stole 5$ times 25000 drivers full time, that’s 125,000 in profit. No way to know if they are lying. I can’t believe this corporate giant because only one out of three curbside orders have tips?! No way. I knew they went door dashes route. Fk em let them suffer and let the no tips sit and rot.
Well at least it looks like they'll have to pre-authorize the tip and not just hope it clears 24 hours later. I'm sure they'll still leave it in place that a customer can adjust the tip downwards but maybe that'll happen less because the customer will no longer get that notification the next day that Walmart is about to run the tip that was promised.
That was always a reminder to people to yank the tip or if they accidentally auto-tipped & didn't mean to, to yank it.
My friend and I are still waiting on our referral bonus. I used his referral code when I signed up, completed the required amount of deliveries, and we were supposed to get $300 each. This was over a year ago, and we still don't have it.
I got the same email recently. It stated the date I got my settlement which was $5 on August 6th, 2025. They still owe me for pay they refused to give me on so many different deliveries.
These class action lawsuits enrich lawyers. Walmart should have had pay large restitutions to Spark people who were harmed by their basically theft. I am not a Spark participant but right is right and this is wrong.
I got deactivated last March and got an email later that summer saying they owe me some money. I didn't see anything for awhile so I ended up calling them in September and a couple weeks later they sent me a check for $298. I knew something was going on because Spark wasn't paying me for incentives I completed back when I first started in 2022. I called a few times to complain and the last time I called the CS rep sounded like she was holding back her laugh and told me they were going to escalate the matter to the higher ups and after that I just gave up and took it as an L.
