Anyone who used one of these cards between November 29, 2011, and April 30, 2014, can now make a claim by visiting the Gift Card Class Action website.

In a statement to Narcity, Jonathan Schachte, a spokesperson for Sotos law firm, confirmed that depending on the card, some residents could receive over $100. 

The settlement comes after the cards reportedly went against Ontario regulations by "charging certain fees and seizing unused balances on prepaid payment cards."
