detlef Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Just got one in the mail for $18.04. Says it's because I used my AMEX overseas between July 200 and November 2006 (which I did, btw). Seems, well, rather odd. I'm trying to think of what bad could happen from cashing this check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billay Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My wife and I both got one in the mail yesterday, same amount. I think it has to do with overcharges for conversion fees to the euro from several years back. I might actually cash this one, as it's actually more than pennies.

There's some update personal info section that I'm obviously not going to fill out, but I can't see the harm in cashing the check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My wife and I each got one last week. I deposited both of them (via the ultra cool app on my phone) and I haven't heard any issues with them. They're legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 They are from a class action suit, one of those you join by doing nothing. I think I'm in one right now against Verizon or Capital One or somesuch and apparently at the end of it I'll be sent a coupon / check for $15 or whatever.

I thought the same. $15 big ones while the lawyers make hoards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If you Google "american express class action settlement" you'll see they are / were in at least 5 class actions just on the front page of Google hits, one of which is the foreign exchange fees suit.

Kid Cid Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I got the same check. I do seem to remember getting a notice about a class action suit a couple of years back. This is probably the result. It also said that there is another suit pending so we'll probably get another $0.42 from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Yeah, I got one too. I actually remember getting the info on that class action suit several years ago. No wonder the legal system is such a mess. I cashed mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
