Skype also agreed to do away with its 180-day expiration policy. As part of the settlement, Skype will pay $1.8 million toward a settlement fund, which will provide eligible class members with electronic vouchers for Skype credit of up to $4 each. The plaintiffs argued that the Skype credit is essentially a gift card, and that imposing an expiration date or inactivity fees violates laws in various states. To use these features, consumer can purchase “credits.” However, if a consumer’s account remains inactive for more than 180 days, the credit is wiped out. While Skype is free for consumers who call each other over the internet, there are fees associated with various additional features.
Skype, a service that lets consumers make phone calls online, agreed to settle a class action that challenged the company’s policy of expiring credits that were older than 180 days.
