Rolling Stone Magazine Lifetime Subscription Settlement
If you bought a lifetime subscription to Rolling Stone Magazine in the US and got switched to a digital version instead of print, there's a settlement for you. You need to file a claim to get your benefits, and there's no cash payout — what you get is the option to resume your print edition and two years of free RollingStone.com access. No deadline has been set for submitting a claim yet.
Benefits are non-cash: a claimant may submit a claim to resume receiving a printed edition of Rolling Stone Magazine and for the opportunity to receive two years of access at no cost to RollingStone.com. Settlement Class members who previously requested and are currently receiving the print edition will continue to receive the print edition and may also claim the two years of RollingStone.com access.
Benefits are non-cash. You can claim: (1) resumption of your printed Rolling Stone edition, and (2) two years of free access to RollingStone.com. If you already requested print and are currently getting it, you'll keep getting it — but you still need to file a claim to get the two years of RollingStone.com access.
