The Shutterfly discount settlement is no longer accepting claims. The court granted final approval and the administrator issued $25 claim vouchers and $5 automatic vouchers in June 2024; those one-year vouchers have now expired.
Current Status
The claim deadline passed on February 5, 2024. A California court later granted final approval, and settlement vouchers were distributed by email in June 2024. People who filed a valid claim received a voucher worth up to $25, while certain class members identified from Shutterfly records received a $5 voucher without filing. The vouchers were valid for one year from issuance, so the redemption period has also ended. There is no current claim form or open payment process.StatusVouchers Issued; Program Complete

What Was the Shutterfly Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit alleged that Shutterfly advertised products using reference prices and percentage-off promotions that made the discounts appear more substantial than they really were. According to the plaintiffs, shoppers could see a higher comparison price alongside a lower sale price even though the product was frequently offered below the comparison price. The plaintiffs argued that this pricing presentation could mislead consumers about the value of the advertised deal. These were allegations, not a finding that Shutterfly violated the law. Shutterfly denied wrongdoing and agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.Who Was Included?
The settlement class generally covered people who bought one or more products from Shutterfly.com between April 1, 2018, and August 25, 2023, where the product was advertised at a discount from a reference price. A person was not entitled to a second recovery for a purchase that had already been refunded or credited. Eligibility and voucher records were determined under the settlement agreement and the administrator's data.What Benefits Did the Settlement Provide?
Class members who submitted timely, valid claims were eligible for a single voucher worth up to $25 toward one qualifying purchase on Shutterfly.com. Identified class members who did not submit claims could receive a direct-benefit voucher worth up to $5. The vouchers were promotional settlement benefits, not cash or gift cards. They could be used only once, generally could not be combined with other voucher-based or code-based discounts, and had no remaining value if the purchase used less than the voucher amount.When Were the Vouchers Sent?
The original page described the February 2024 fairness hearing as an upcoming event. That is now historical. The court granted final approval, and the administrator sent settlement voucher emails beginning in June 2024. The voucher messages stated that the codes would expire one year after issuance. That means both the claim window and the normal redemption window have passed; readers should not treat this page as an invitation to submit a new claim.Did the Settlement Require Proof?
The claim process did not generally require a receipt to request the standard voucher, but claimants had to attest that they met the settlement definition and provide the information required by the administrator. Shutterfly's own records were used for the automatic $5 benefit. The deadline to supply that information is over, and the former claim portal should not be used for a new submission.What Should Former Claimants Do Now?
A person who filed in 2024 should rely on the original voucher email and the administrator's historical record. Because the vouchers expired one year after they were issued, a missing or unused code is not a new open claim. The archived official settlement site may still provide case documents, but it no longer offers an active claim process.Official Information
