If you shopped at one of the stores in that time frame and you did not suffer any damages, can receive a $5 Wawa gift card...hey, at least it will buy you coffee and a doughnut!
Customers who can provide reasonable proof of a fraudulent attempt on their card will quality for a $15 dollar gift card. Customers who can show out-of-pocket expenses in connection with an attempted fraudulent transaction can get paid back $500. More details from the original source here.

Wawa is also including 35 million dollars worth of data security enhancements to their systems. If you want to submit for these, affected customers must submit a claim form. It seems the easy solution is to pay with cash but now with COVID that is becoming a thing of the past. The best thing you can do is make sure you use a credit card with built in protections so they get your money restored and fight on your behalf to make it right. This offers much more protection than a debit card. Keep on scrolling for more!
