Palace Entertainment to Settle Class Action Lawsuit

Palace Entertainment, who operates, manages or is affiliated with several amusement & water parks, has had a class action lawsuit filed against them and has agreed to a settlement. According to the lawsuit, they violated requirements imposed by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act by printing more than the last five digits of credit card numbers and/or the expiration dates of credit cards on their receipts.

Under the settlement, anyone who received an electronically printed receipt from one of the parks between December 4, 2006 and December 20, 2011 that has more than the last five digits of the credit card number and/or the expiration date of the card printed on it can submit a claim form to receive a free admission ticket to that same park. Of course, you have to provide that receipt along with proper ID in order to get the ticket.

The parks involved are:

Kennywood - West Mifflin, PA

Idlewild & SoakZone - Ligonier, PA

Lake Compounce - Bristol, CT

Silver Springs - Silver Springs, FL

Big Kahuna's - Destin, FL

Castle Park - Riverside, CA

Emeralde Pointe Wet n' Wild - Greensboro, NC

Mountain Creek - Vernon, NJ

Raging Waters - San Dimas, CA (SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!... I just had to throw in the Bill & Ted's reference! )

Sandcastle - Pittsburgh, PA

Sea Life Park - Waimanalo, HI

Water Country - Portsmouth, NH

Waterworld - Concord, CA

We went to Idlewild in August and I only made one credit card transaction while there, for a t-shirt. I went home last night, did some digging and found the receipt. It only has the last four digits of my card number, and no expiration date. Looks like no free ticket for me!
