Class action lawsuits in the past have been settled with coupons.

There's even a wiki entry on the practice.

Lawyer gets a beachfront house. Class action participant gets coffee and a donut. Sounds normal.

At one point I supposedly had dozens of free concerts due me from Ticketmaster shenanigans. I was never able to actually find a show I wanted to watch though.
