I did it and yeah, my info was compromised. Instead of the money, you can get 10 years of credit monitoring which includes $1M worth of insurance against credit theft, this is probably the better option assuming you don’t need the money.
But the FTC on Wednesday warned Americans that their eventual payouts could be far less than those promised figures after an “overwhelming” number of people visited the claims website since the settlement was announced. Now the agency is urging people to instead opt for the free credit monitoring, saying the pool of cash used for the $125 payments is just $31 million total, meaning if too many people choose that option, the payouts will be “nowhere near” the cited figure.
The first 248,000 people that put in a claim should get the $125, the rest free monitoring. That’s because if they were offering less from the beginning, say $25 or whatever the number ends up being, then more people would have opted for the monitoring.
I may have misunderstood the form; I don't currently have credit monitoring so couldn't sign up for $125? That's how I read it and so now I'm getting 4 years of credit monitoring instead of $125. I would have liked the money.
