Heads up, fellow travelers! Remember that auto parts price-fixing lawsuit from a while back? Well, the payouts are still rolling in, and some people are getting way more than expected! If you owned or leased a car, light truck, or SUV between 1995 and 2018, or bought replacement parts, you might be owed some cash. It's worth checking your email (including spam!) for a message with the subject "Auto Parts Settlements – Notice of Upcoming Settlement Payment." Some readers are reporting payouts of $400+ after already receiving smaller amounts. Why does this matter to you? Because free money is always a good thing! Even if you think you missed the boat, it's worth a quick check. The lawsuit claims that auto parts manufacturers were colluding to fix prices, and this settlement is to compensate consumers like us. Plus, if you registered for updates on the settlement website, you'll get notified of further developments. So, take a minute, search your inbox, and you might just find a surprise windfall to help fund your next adventure! Keep in mind that the eligibility is limited to residents of certain states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, and many more), so check the article for the full list. Also, the article mentions that final payments may take a while because of potential appeals. But hey, patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to unexpected travel funds!
