Like an early Christmas present, the notices — 38 million of them — started appearing in mailboxes at the end of November. whether you sign, moment and return the profile, you’ll get $25 or more, depending on how much foreign travel you did from Feb. 1, 1996, to Nov. 8, 2006.

The notices are in response to a proposed settlement of a lawsuit with Visa, MasterCard

and Diners Club by foreign transaction fees. The lawsuit claims the fees were poorly disclosed and that credit card companies colluded in fixing the fees.
