Let the Credit Card Companies Pay Your Tsunami Relief Donation19 January 2005
CreditFairy.com, an online credit card search engine, recently announced plans to donate half of all commissions earned off credit card promotions to tsunami relief efforts through June 1, 2005, with a goal of $1,000,000 in donations to the Red Cross and other various charitable organizations. Consumers can make their donation absolutely free by simply signing up for a free credit card.
CreditFairy.com is paid a commission from issuing credit card companies for each approved credit card application they process. Consumers can apply to credit cards knowing that during this free process they are also contributing to the tsunami disaster relief.
“It’s the right thing to do,” said Justin Marinos, president of CreditFairy.com. “Why wouldn’t you take a few minutes of your time to make a donation of five to fifty dollars knowing it won’t cost you a dime? Let the credit card companies pay your donation.”
CreditFairy.com is looking for any person that is in need of a new credit card, wants a card with a 0% APR on balance transfers, or just feels compelled to sign up for a new card simply to make a free donation. A collective effort is needed to achieve a goal of one million dollars in donations. “We’d actually like to see a higher number given to charities by June 1st,” Marinos points out. “Basically, any media attention is greatly appreciated in helping us achieve this goal.”
Asked why credit card companies should be helping people, Marinos explains, “Credit card companies have this type of promotion expense in their budget already. The average consumer is paying 10-20% a year in interest to these companies so issuers are making considerable revenues. The least they can do is pay out commissions while letting CreditFairy.com allocate them in a manner intended to better mankind.”
