yeah, check it out http://www.ccfsettlement.com/
alledgedly my credit card companies conspired to fuck with currency conversion rates for my purchases while i was out of the country.
so i can fill out this form, and if the settlement gets approved i might get some money if the settlement is approved later in march 2008....
anyone else get anything about this?

i dont really know.....'
there are 3 options for refunds, one of which is based on how many days you were out of the country. between 96 and 07. so in 01 i went to school in mexico for 8 months, and i travel to mexico and canada quite a bit. so i might actually stand to get a hefty settlement, as they are going to figure that it will be 1% of what they estimate you would have spent there. figuring i spent a total of 9 months out of the country, and $50 a day, thats about $135

What is it, a class action settlement?
You might stand to make a few bucks. I get notices like that every once in a while. The largest settlement I got was $35.
Keep in mind the settlement is spread out to everyone that registers as a plaintiff. It's basically a huge penalty for the defendant, sometimes in the hundreds of millions of dollars, but once it's all distributed it's a pretty small amount awarded to each plaintiff.
By all means, you should register. At the least, you'll have some extra beer money, at the most you might have enough to buy a keg or two.

Expect a few dollars. It would be a pleasant surprise if you were awarded more than $50.
Keep in mind the settlement is subject to attorney fees and taxes. So after they get rich and the few thousand other people sign up for it, you'll have enough for some beer at least.

I got that same letter. Read the two pages of fine print. It's bullshit.
I used it to make a paper airplane, lit it on fire, and threw it off my back porch. Reminded me of when I was a kid.
