But hey, when you win the inevitable class action lawsuit, you might get a $50 McDonalds gift card and a 1 year subscription to LinkedIn Premium.

  From Equifax? Fat chance. I'm sure many people would take the $50 McD gift card in a heartbeat. You're more likely to get 2-3 months of some sort of their protection service that will be "value-equivalent" to $50, not anything tangible or liquid in value.

    And in order to get it, you have to click through a ToS that allows them to share your salary with future potential employers.

  More like a $50 credit at Experian/Intuit/The Work Number(parent corp. Experian). It's pretty common for class actions to actually benefit the defendant when plaintiff lawyers take their $millions in exchange for driving more business towards the services they were fighting. Which then simply change their ToS to allow the behavior they were sued over anyway.

    Man I was furious when the Zappos settlement a few years ago was a 10% off a future purchase coupon. I don't see any possible way that was a punishment. Never purchased anything with them since I saw that.

  Heh I just got my $79 settlement from the last Equifax breach.
