Normally when you get a notice for a class action you end up with a $5 check in the mail or a free ice cream cone. Unless your one of the recent VW owners that could get up to $7K. I'm not a VW owner but long over a year ago I got a notice about DRAM doing price fixing on memory chips in computers, game consoles, etc. While I'm sure they still made out Ok with their ill-gotten booty, I got a check in the mail for $80~ bucks. Guess I'll take the ole lady out to dinner.
I got nearly $80 on the ebooks settlement and you could have knocked me over with a feather. I'm used to the $50m settlements ending up with about $1m going to the parties and the rest to the "administrative overhead" and "legal fees".
I got $34 from Amazon due to some suit I didn't even know (or recall) was taking place. Sadly, my addiction to James Patterson/Alex Cross books has already sucked up that credit.
