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.

class actions are all about the principle of the thing, donchaknow? Your $.70 is one of a million slaps in the face of some evil corporate entity! Right? Right?


Yay kitties!

We got forty-four cents. Not even enough for one soda, unless it was some generic brand that they sell in the machines outside of Wal Mart and, really, those aren't sodas now are they? I'm hard pressured whether forty-four cents will buy anything. Maybe penny candy that costs a quarter at the VP.

I found this post trying to figure out what this refund thing was all about. I got ya all beat, 0.07.

Check

I wish I had gotten a check. I got a statement for a .23 credit for a credit card I carry only as backup. I quit using the card when I found one (1st USA, now BankOne)that you can call and make a payment on the due date and it posts on the due date for FREE.

Who does this help?

"I got .17!" - "I got $1.65" - "I got a rock". Actually I got 13 cents.
But if the lawyers pocketed over $7 million, who is really paying for that $7 mil? The cynical side of me says that eventually the average joe is, through higher fees for services that will offset the cost of the settlement. I mean Citibank had it coming. I've never understood how they calculate my bill sometimes - I always pay the whole balance before the due date, yet one time when my balance showed zero I got a bill for something like 43 cents in interest, so I paid that, didn't use the card at all in the billing cycle, and then had a bill for something like 7 cents the next month.

Though I feel like I am the chosen Home Coming King with a $0.81 refund (higher than most of you, I am so unworthy) Still it is the camaraderie with you fellow refudies that I will charish forever.... (choking up) you guys (voice breaking) take care! forever... Kevin

I am so...touched...that I found this Schwartz Settlement Refund support group. I started, uhm, "using" the Citibank card several years ago. OK, many years ago. I am proud to say that I got $0.44 out of the class action suit, which honestly is not enough to buy candy, soda, coffee, or a shoe shine on the street corner.

if you feel like kickin' 'em in the shins...

call the 800 number: 800-558-5854 and request more information by mail, that will at least eat another .34 or whatever the bulkmail postage rate happens to be..

plus it helps keep your postman employed...

I got a whopping $.03 settlement refund on my Citi card and was wondering what this was all about. (I actually use the option to have them deduct my entire balance from my checking account on the due date, so I never get late fees anyway. So there, too.)

Schwartz did us all a favor

If there weren't attorneys who had the ability to fight law breakers like Citi/ATT Universal they would be out of control. And the world thought Hitler was a force to contend with. Try CITI. Unbelievable!!!
Get new credit cards, MBNA and Discover are light years ahead in service and what they offer.

We are all pawns in a game of white collar crime! A few lawyers squeezed $7.2 Million out of Citibank and they used your name to do it! I say LET'S GET THOSE BASTARDS!!!! It's time to put lawyers in their place. What are you going to do about it????


You're all worthless and weak!

Are you all so stupid that all you can see is that you got a few cents and that some evil company was actually taking a few more cents from you than they should have? True, it was wrong for Citibank and whoever else to take an extra 48 cents from me over the 5 years that I had a card with them, but does that entitle some scumbag lawyers to take 7.2 million from Citibank? Have you ever thought about why Citibank settled instead of fought it out in court? Because they knew they were wrong in cheating millions of people out of a few pennies each. Those lawyers knew it too. That's why they grabbed $7.2 Million and gave you back a few pennies. Citibank doesn't give a rats ass about it because they know they'll make it back from the same people who got the few pennies. TRIAL LAWYERS SUCK! and this is why
