Did you qualify for any credits?!
(Thanks, Melissa & Gina!)
I got one…but only $0.73 lol
I got .73 also! Lol
I did! $9.33. 🙂
I look forward to my $.73 refund from B&N!
I got one from Barnes and Noble-actually I haven’t gotten it but I got an e-mail stating that it would be credited to me in 1-3 days. It’s for $8.XX. It says I will get an e-mail when it’s deposited to my account and I will also get a printable certificate that I can use in store!!!
Hmmm
I received the B&N email stating 3 days but no dollar amount. Oh well, anything will be nice. It’s something I didn’t expect.
I didn’t see a dollar amount in the e-mail I received, either. I’ll have to double-check.
So, there is no dollar amount in my e-mail, but I was able to take the settlement ID # and find the amount I would get through the Barnes and Noble website FAQ. I will get 1.46. Don’t spend it all in one place, I guess? 🙂
I got a “notepad” app the other day on my kindle and was given a credit of .99. The app was free too.
$8.74
I got 31.71!!! Score! 😀
I got $10.47.
I got a little under $4 from Amazon.com and $32.78 from Barnes & Noble…woo-hoo 🙂
I got $4 and some change! Paid for my next book!
Thank you for posting about this, I checked and got $47.00. 🙂
Barnes and Noble NOOK book credit…over $30 🙂
Oh boy! I received $25.57!!
Just got an email from Amazon. We are getting a $57 credit!!! I did see in the fine print that the credit can only be used towards future e-book purchases thru Amazon (as opposed to using it towards other non-book Amazon purchases).
I got $1.46
.73! Lol
$150 dollars. I knew it would be a lot… My MIL reads like a crazy woman!
Wow! Awesome!!
I got $2.19 and ended up finding a “Lego City” paperback book that was priced at exactly $2.19 – my son will love it! =)
I received two dollars and change.
I got $4.63. Nice surprise on a otherwise quiet Tuesday!
$ .73 here too! Makes me wonder how they arrived at that number. I’m guessing there are total spending brackets and depending on which bracket you fell in, you got X amount of money. I guess 73 cents is better than nothing so yippeee, lol. 🙂
It’s based on the numbers of books you bought from the publishers in the lawsuit .73 x # kindle ebooks
I ended up with a 196$ credit. Apparently I read a lot.
Oh man! That’s enough to fund maybe a month of your reading right? lol
It also depends on the state you live in. It’s not a “promotion.”
It’s actually a class action settlement for alleged price fixing — the amount you get depends on the settlement negotiated in your state and the number of e-books you purchased in the past. Minnesota’s Attorney General apparently negotiated a better deal than other states.

There is a link there for a “check request” option, but claims had to be submitted by 10/21/13 to get a check instead of a credit.
Hubby got almost $12!
111.02 from Barnes and Noble! I can’t wait lol I obviously read a lot
