Thread Details
I just received an email from T-Mobile from the Data-breach Settlement
related issue, and they have sent me an eMail with a Pre-Paid Card in the amount
of $56.54
The eMail contains information needed to activate your virtual Prepaid Card.
I took the easiest route and activated it, and used Amazon Reload and put in
the full amount and bought myself that full amount, so I never have to worry about
not spending the last cent on the prepaid card.
The eMail will come from :
and the subject is :

=====================
You have received a Virtual Prepaid Mastercard® worth $56.54 as your T-Mobile Data Breach Settlement payment. Please follow the directions below to redeem your payment. You can spend these funds online anywhere Mastercard is accepted or add to a digital wallet and use it with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay.
If you have any remaining balance after 24 months, you may request that a new card with the remaining balance be re-issued to you. If you use your original or reactivated prepaid card at least once every twelve months, you will avoid any inactivity fees. If your card is inactive for twelve consecutive months, a $0.95 fee will be subtracted from your balance for each month thereafter of continued inactivity.
To activate and use your card, please click the REDEEM VIRTUAL CARD button below. After you redeem your card, you may use your card online wherever Mastercard is accepted, add it to a digital wallet and use it with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay (or in stores that accept mobile wallet Debit Mastercard), or follow the instructions on the Card Details page at MyPrepaidCenter (using the website link below) for assistance with alternative payment options.
=====================
I won't include the redeeming instructions, as that is specific to your eMail.
Check your eMail box if you signed up to the settlement. It was a nice surprise for me.

Cool that I'm getting more than $600. Not cool that I therefore will need to pay taxes on whatever I get.
