AmEx, Visa & Mastercard Agree To Wave All Fees On Donations To Haiti

[JixMa]

Credit card companies waving a fee?! What?! We *ARE* in the End Times. That's one of the signs of The Apocalypse! LOL!

[RevolutionNewz]

we have a crisis here in the states... not critical enough for the cc companies to waive our fees!

I made my donation of $0.00 today

I plan to make another donation of $0.00 tomorrow.

Man, I'm sorry you're so proud of being such a piece of shit. What's the point of your existence? To be an asshole? You're succeeding beyond your wildest dreams.

Seriously, why man?

If you call yourself a Christian, stop.

Its not really the time and place to make such jokes...when disasters like this happen.

"Its not really the time and place to make such jokes...when disasters like this happen"

You mean when George Bush was joking about not finding any weapons of mass destruction and laughing at the 5,000 dead Patriots. Point well taken...

George Bush was elected twice ? Little white lie

[boots920]

Well you're a joke stop making comments then follow your own rules. What are you some kind of dis-info agent they don't pay you enough idiot. Either that or you're sheople.

I am following my "own" rules little potty-mouth child. If you were able to read and comprehend whats written correctly maybe you wouldn't have issues talking to other people. I recommend going back to your ESL class, and maybe an anger management class as well.

Hey buddy explain why the price of gold is so high in US dollars ?

It just means you're been working for nothing since 1971.

Are you real happy about that reality ?

Haiti they've spent billions and got nothing back because the government is corrupt. The money never gets to the people.

[boots920]

I donated in 2004 for the tsunami (Red Cross) never had any follow up on how the money was used. I feel bad for the people in Haiti but there's been literally billions of dollar invested into the place with no accountability.

You want to do something but throwing money at the problem won't fix it either. Quite the dilemma..

[JixMa]

@boots920 I never give to charities. I think that the money goes to pay the salaries of the CEOs & officers of those organizations as well as their operating costs FIRST and *then* and only then if there's any money left over, does it go to buy supplies for the victims they're supposed to help. I'm not just speculating this either. It's been exposed in the news that many of these charity groups operate this way from veterans to sick children to save animals charities to hunger relief. All scams!

[iFixComputer]

Then that is your problem. Your issue has nothing to do with my comment. Next time...watch who you donate to...and HOW you donate it.

[boots920]

I say don't donate at all there's no accounting for the charity.

Fake Charities !!!

What kind of idiot donates to charity with a credit card?? You don't have $5 to spare in your fucking account? Not even $1? You'd rather charge $500 in these economic times?

[Bunnicula71]

A lot of people use debit cards from checking almost exclusively, and merchant fees apply to those as well. It is simply easier to do it that way, either over the phone or on the web.

And, in defense of anyone who did use a credit card, maybe they're just people who feel that's something they are willing to do. If someone wants to go into debt in order to make a charitable donation to folks that's their business. I would chalk it up as a good deed, if not financially wise.

Donating using a credit card doesn't mean you don't have any money. I use a credit card for every vacation i go on and pay in full when the bill comes in. The reason i pay by credit card is that if the holiday company goes bust i get my money back from the credit card company, but if you pay by debit card or cash you lose your money.

I say I'm sorry when I get caught too...truth be told I'm only sorry because I got caught....

Credit card companies profiting from death destruction and horror do we need to say anymore?

[mycatisamoron]

So these companies would ordinarily charge people on charitable donations? I didn't realize that, and I think it's sick.
