One of the benefits of acting as a class representative is being able to change the behavior of a big company. If successful, you could single-handedly win a large sum of money for thousands of other individuals. To a lesser extent, you might consider that courts have the discretion to award incentive payments (beyond the amount of damages) to class representatives. So it is entirely possible that you will receive some compensation for your effort.
