Charity Cards

The majority of these cards work by offering a designated charity a flat fee for every card application, and then an on-going percentage of all purchases made.

As a general rule-of-thumb, charities gain approximately 25p for every £100 spent on a charity card. This means that £10,000 would have to be spent using a charity credit card to provide a £25 donation. As most people spend substantially less than £10,000 each year on a credit card, this is a slow and roundabout method of making charitable donations.

One of the key advantages of charity cards, however, is that they allow each charity to gain exposure every time you use your card. In this sense, charities benefit greatly as they receive free, nationwide marketing.

Charity Card Interest Rates - Whilst there is no doubt that charity cards do raise millions of pounds each year for good causes, they will not necessarily provide the best deal for you or for the charity.
