Here's the email I just got from Barnes & Noble (boldface added by me)
Quote:
We're pleased to tell you that you are eligible for gift certificate credits thanks to recent legal settlements between States Attorneys General, Class and two eBook publishers. Barnes & Noble was not a party to the settlements but as a NOOKŪ customer, you can take advantage of the benefits agreed to by the settling publishers.
If you already received a previous notice regarding three similar settlements, you are receiving this letter because you are eligible for more gift certificate credits now if the Court gives final approval to the additional settlements with eBook publishers, Penguin and Macmillan.
There is nothing you need to do to receive the credits. If the Court grants final approval you will receive credits automatically in the form of an electronic gift certificate sent via email. Once the settlements' claim period ends, the Attorneys General will calculate the amount of your credits.
Once you receive your gift certificate, you can register it on our website, www.bn.com, for up to one year. Once registered, no further action will be required on your part, and the certificate will have no expiration date and you can use it any time to shop the wide selection of great titles on bn.com.
You may prefer to receive a check instead of a gift certificate, or you may decide not to participate in the two most recent settlements at all. If you want to consider either of these options, we recommend that you review the steps you can take, as well as your rights, which are explained in the attached legal notice.
As always, we appreciate your business and thank you for being a valued NOOK and Barnes & Noble customer.

I'm wondering if the "more gift certificate credits" I'm eligible for are linked to B&N's absorption of my Fictionwise purchases; I made a lot more purchase frow FW than I've ever done from B&N.
