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.

What's interesting about your explanation, is that this CBS news article says that the refund is for charges assessed on charges made in foreign countries. Wonder which is the real explanation?

Same plaintiff name, but, as I recall, this one is still under appeal. And besides, it's a case against Visa and Mastercard themselves, not just Citibank.

Ah, I see. I was just assuming that this was the same case and that Visa/Mastercard had been named as co-defendants along with Citibank.
