If You Bought A Red Bull In The Last 12 Years They Owe You Money — Here’s The Easy Way To Get It

No, energy drink Red Bull doesn’t exactly "give you wings" but it could put 10 bucks in your pocket if you are a US citizen.

The Austria-based beverage company agreed in August to pay over $13 million to settle a proposed class action lawsuit in New York that alleged false advertising.

The claim focused largely on the energy drink’s "Red Bull gives you wings" slogan and argued the drink doesn't live up to its promise of increased performance and concentration, among other perks.

Red Bull denied its advertising is misleading.

"Plaintiffs brought these lawsuits, alleging that Red Bull's marketing and labelling misrepresents both the functionality and safety of Red Bull beverages," the company said in a legal notice. "Red Bull denies any and all wrongdoing or liability and maintains that its marketing and labelling have always been entirely truthful and accurate."

As part of the settlement, U.S. consumers who purchased the energy drink between Jan. 1, 2002, and Oct. 3, 2014, may be entitled to a $10 rebate or $15 in Red Bull products.

The settlement has yet to be approved by New York federal court. If the court approves the settlement, payment will be distributed 150 days later (pending appeals).

Update
The site to file a claim seems to have gone down, likely due to high demand. Hang in there!

Note
It should probably be noted that if a certain number of people sign up and the $13 million is reached, then the reimbursement will begin to be diluted so that every person can receive a share.
