I usually opt in. My favorite one was the credit card foreign transaction fee settlement. I was living in England and getting paid in America for 2.5 years of the time period the class action suit covered. I ended up using a US card a lot while there since it was easiest, knowing all about foreign transaction fees. Sometime after moving back to the USSA, I received the class action info in the mail. I submitted some info, then received 3 different checks over a couple of years, somewhere in the range of $800-$900 total. All because some dimwit(s) couldn't read their credit card terms.
Note: Capital One has no foreign transaction fees on their credit cards or ATM cards. That's what's in my wallet on trips a broad. 
Oh for Pete's sake.
