A Michael Kors outlet settlement voucher is on a 90-day clock from the day it is issued, it works only for one purchase inside a Michael Kors Outlet store, and it cannot be handed to someone else. Those three limits matter now because class members in the San Diego outlet-pricing case began receiving the vouchers by email in late September 2026, under the heading “Class Action Voucher.”
Status: Vouchers being emailed, reported by late September 2026 | Value: up to $30 | Expires 90 days after issue | Claims closed
What Arrived in Class Members’ Inboxes
The emails being shared by class members carry the subject “Class Action Voucher.” Each voucher names the court, the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, and the case, McCall et al. v. Michael Kors (USA), Inc., No. 25CU041352N. It shows a voucher code and a dollar amount, states that the court authorized the notice, and gives the date from which the voucher can be used.
One voucher shared by a class member is worth $20.06. That is below the settlement’s $30 ceiling, which is the first thing many recipients are asking about.
The Rules for Using the Voucher
The settlement FAQ sets out the terms of the merchandise certificate. In plain terms:
| Where | One in-store purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store, up to the voucher’s value. |
| How long | Expires 90 days after it is issued. |
| Who | Non-transferable. |
| What it cannot do | It has no cash value and cannot be used to buy gift cards or gift certificates. |
The FAQ does not describe any way to use the voucher online, so plan to redeem it in person at an Outlet store. Look in the email for the first date the voucher can be used, then count 90 days from issuance. An unused certificate is lost once that window closes, and because the voucher covers a single purchase, it makes sense to use it on one trip rather than plan for a partial redemption.
Why Some Vouchers Are Less Than $30
The settlement created two groups of class members, and only one of them was promised the full amount.
The automatic group. KORSVIP account holders with a California or Oregon mailing address who received direct email notice did not have to file anything. They were to receive a $30.00 certificate.
Everyone else. All other class members had to file a claim, and their certificates were described as worth up to $30.
The $20.06 voucher shared by a class member falls into the second description. OpenClassActions.com reports that it has not seen an explanation from the administrator of how that figure was calculated, so other claimants may see a different amount. A voucher below $30 is not, on its own, a sign that something went wrong.
Do Not Give Away or Post the Code
Some class members who do not expect to visit an outlet have been offering their vouchers to strangers in public Facebook groups. That runs into the settlement’s own terms. The FAQ says the certificates are non-transferable, so a code handed to someone else may be refused at the register.
Posting a code publicly creates a second problem: anyone who sees it can try to use it first. If a stranger reaches a store before the person it was issued to, the class member may be left with nothing. The safer course is to keep the code private and either use it or let it lapse.
No Voucher Yet?
Start with the inbox the settlement would have used. For a claimant, that is the email address on the claim. For a KORSVIP member in the automatic group, it is the address Michael Kors has on file for the account. Search both, including spam and promotions folders, for a message titled “Class Action Voucher.”
If nothing turns up, contact the settlement administrator through the official website, MichaelKorsOutletSettlement2026.com. Claims are closed, so there is no way to join the settlement now; the administrator can only help class members who are already in it.
What the Case Was About
The lawsuit alleged that Michael Kors outlet stores advertised reference prices and discounts that gave a misleading impression of how much shoppers were saving. Michael Kors denied the allegations and any wrongdoing, and the settlement is not a finding against the company.
The class covers qualifying purchases at Michael Kors outlet stores from May 10, 2019 through November 14, 2025. Under the settlement, certificates could go out only after the court approved the deal, and no earlier than April 1, 2026.
OpenClassActions.com covers who was included and who needed to file on its Michael Kors outlet settlement page, and it first reported the voucher emails in its Michael Kors voucher update. A separate set of Washington email subject-line claims against Michael Kors is unrelated to these vouchers and is tracked in its subject line payout report.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Michael Kors outlet voucher less than $30?
Thirty dollars is the maximum. California and Oregon KORSVIP members in the automatic group were to receive $30.00, while certificates for class members who filed claims were described as worth up to $30. At least one emailed voucher shows $20.06, and no explanation from the administrator of how that amount was set has been seen.
Can I use the Michael Kors settlement voucher online?
The settlement FAQ describes the certificate as good for a single in-store purchase at a Michael Kors Outlet store and does not describe online use. Plan to redeem it in person.
When does the Michael Kors voucher expire?
The settlement FAQ says certificates expire 90 days after they are issued. Check the email for the date the voucher can first be used.
Can I give my Michael Kors voucher to a friend?
The settlement FAQ says the certificates are non-transferable, so a code used by someone else may not be honored. Posting a code publicly also lets anyone who sees it try to use it first.
I never got a Class Action Voucher email. What should I do?
Search the email address on your claim, or the address on your KORSVIP account, including spam and promotions folders. If nothing has arrived, contact the administrator through MichaelKorsOutletSettlement2026.com.
