Similar strategies have been used before; seven or so years after opening a lawsuit about a data breach at Zappos, claimants were offered 10% coupons for the Zappos online store.

Yep, I remember getting Ticketmaster credit for their class action lawsuit.

I owned an '76 Chevy pickup and GM sent a coupon worth $1000 off the purchase of a brand new pickup as a settlement.

Never used it, but I assume Dealer Keeps All Incentives applied.

(They had side-saddle gas tanks that increased the chances of a fire in an accident.)

I got tons of free tickets in that one. I was never able to find an event to spend them on. What a fiasco.
