Anybody else get one of these refund notices?
 

Arrived to day purporting to be from US District Court in
Philadelphia,
supposed to be for a refund of fees charged to Visa, Mastercard and
Diners Club for overseas transaction between Feb 1 1996 and November
8, 2006.

They enclose a form for claiming the refund or you
can file at a website.

Yes, it's genuine. I read about it months ago. One of the few times in
legal history that class-action claimants actually get something other
than
some useless coupon. Real cash...

But will it be enough to cover the postage?


I signed and returned page 1 of 3. That was for a $25.00 refund. No
questions asked.

Just go to the Web site cited in the mailing, enter the code number and
you're done.

Yes. I visited Italy during that time frame for ten days. It was a very
low cost trip due to the exchange rate at the time and I actually paid
for most things with cash from an ATM, not credit card, so I sent in the
standard form to request my $25. Its not much, but it will be $25 I
wouldn't have otherwise received. Others might be eligible for a larger
payment.

I am wondering how they estimate the payout for second form.
All you do is state the number of days you were outside the US.
That treats Mr. Economy Traveler the same as Daddy Warbucks.
