[QUOTE="dajop, post: 2298639, member: 3494"] If you look at a $50 gift card, they sell for 9000-9900 points (4500-4950 for $25), so this in theory is making them less money that gift cards, as from Velocity's perspective they are getting 3,125 pts for them giving $25 to the charity. But ... I imagine is not costing them $25 to make that donation, I assume it is also deductible, so only costing them $17.50 ... co-incidence that that a $50 is almost 9000 points after the deduction?
