These things are notoriously small payouts for individual participants. But I today I got a check for $48.88 for a DRAM settlement. It came as a bit of a surprise, as it was two years ago that I provided my information to them (name, address, email, how much RAM I purchased over a certain set of years).
I actually skipped joining one that I could have legitimately been in. It was the horsepower lawsuit for Briggs and Stratton small engines. I had an eligible engine on a lawn mower. I was perfectly pleased with the engines' performance. So I passed up $20 or $30, whatever the settlement was.
On the other hand, I've seen on other forums where some are willing to sign up for any class action settlement, even when they have no legitimate standing, as long as no proof of purchase is required.
What you, fellow Mustachians? Do you join class actions? If so, what was your biggest settlement?
