Woohoo! I got $.70 from AT&T Universal Card/Citibank as my "Schwartz Settlement Refund". The lawyers who pressed the class action suit got $7.2 million, but who can begrudge them when they worked so hard to get me a refund that will fully cover the cost of my next two sodas from the company vending machine? I like soda, after all.

Given that there's apparently something like $25 million left in the settlement fund after lawyer's fees, I guess it's more like 30 million+ slaps in the face. Still, when you think about how much money Citibank has made in fees over the years on that many cards, I think it's more like a gentle tickle on the face.

true, kind of a 'I fart in your general direction' sort of thing, then.
