Hey Classy People,
You’ve probably seen this before: “If you do nothing, you get nothing.” Sounds simple enough, right? But here’s the thing – they’re leaving out the fine print. Doing nothing doesn’t just mean missing out on money. It means forfeiting your legal rights and letting the companies that wronged you off the hook. Whether it’s $5, $500, or $5 billion, the cost of inaction is real. Let’s break it down👇.

LESSON PLAN
💲The Price of Doing Nothing
You’re not doing nothing however, you’re actually losing. This is straight from the Visa Mastercard ATM Surcharge Settlement website:
Straight from the source…
Translation: You lose twice.
💰️ You lose money you’re entitled to.
⚖️ You lose your legal rights to hold companies accountable.
And this doesn’t just apply to the settlements like the infamous Visa Mastercard Payment Card Settlement. It’s the rule for ALL class action settlements. Ignoring your opportunity to file a claim isn’t neutral – it’s a choice to let someone else (or the company in the wrong) walk away with what’s rightfully yours.
So, don’t let the price of doing nothing add up. Here’s a prime example where taking action makes all the difference👇.
SETTLEMENT SPOTLIGHT
💳 Visa & Mastercard Payment Card Settlement
Merchants – This Is Your LAST Chance.
For those who’ve been with us, you know this one inside and out. But for the newbies (welcome! 👋), here’s the quick rundown:
💳️ What Happened?
Visa & Mastercard (plus their member banks) allegedly charged merchants excessive interchange fees, violating antitrust laws and costing businesses billions. The result? A $5.5 BILLION settlement to make things right. Filing a claim is the only way to recover your share.
🧑💼 Who’s Included?
Any U.S. business (big or small) that accepted Visa/Mastercard payments between January 1, 2004, and January 25, 2019. You’re still eligible even if you’re no longer in business!
📁 How to File:
Filing is a breeze with Class Action Connection. Most of our clients file using our 1-step claim filing agreement in under five minutes! The toughest thing you’ll need to look up is your company’s TIN. We’ll handle the rest – seriously, it’s that simple.
No Business? No Problem.
