Class action lawsuit settlement for cardholders of Visa-, MasterCard-, or Diners Club-branded cards.

[randomness]

If you held one of these cards and were charged to make transctions in a foreign currency or with a foreign merchant between February 1, 1996 and November 8, 2006, you may file a claim.

Full information on this case and the settlement can be found at http://www.ccfsettlement.com.

You may have received a pre-printed form in the mail. If you have not, you can go to this website: https://www.ccfsettlement.com/claim/?action=choose which will provide you with three options, an Easy Refund, a Total Estimation Refund, or an Annual Estimated refund.

The deadline for filing a claim, which had been in early January 2008, has now been extended to May 30, 2008. The deadline for opting out of the settlement damages class or objecting to the settlement has been extended to February 14, 2008.

This is only for credit cards, not debit cards, right?

From http://www.ccfsettlement.com/faqs/#idQ19:

"Any person who held a Visa-, MasterCard- or Diners Club-branded credit, charge or debit/ATM card issued in the United States as of November 8, 2006 is a member of the Settlement Injunctive Class. Those persons who made a foreign transaction using a Visa-, MasterCard-, or Diners Club- branded credit, charge or debit/ATM card between February 1, 1996 and November 8, 2006 are members of the Settlement Damages Class."

So, no. This includes debit cards.

Ooh, thanks! I've sent them a comment thingy about how they refuse to accept my account number, and maybe there'll be a magic check in my future.
