How would you spend $14.45?

[Stinky The Clown]

Apple did some bad thing and some lawyers filed a class action lawsuit. They sent me a link to join the class action. So, what the hell, I did.

They won. They got millions from Apple.

I got $14.45.

As a digital Mastercard.

The rules say you can't use it for partial payments and clearly you can't exceed $14.45.

So what to do? How do you use the entire amount and not leave a few pennies (times a million other leavings of a few pennies) to the genius who decided to pay us with this digital credit card?

For us, Sparkly can accept credit cards through her business' PayPal account. We send in a payment request for $14.45. Then PayPal adds a $0.72 "fee". No go. So we do it again, but this time for $13.73. Bingo!. But no fee. So now the card has a $0.72 balance. (I probably said the payment was for merch not a personal payment.)

We'll do another one tomorrow for the leftover pennies.

Just on the principle of the thing.

4. I would have put it in the tip jar, just to clean it out.

Seems like a royal PIA, though.

7. When I pay at the grocery store,

I can use two forms or electronic payment if the first one zeroes out. Use it to pay for $50 in groceries, then pay the remainder with cash, your own credit or debit card, etc.

I never bother with the class action lawsuits. I have to spend time getting documentation, then I get a tiny check while thw lawyers get millions.
