Keeping Credit Cards Active

[Erusidhion]

    Wow. That is an amazing idea that I hadn't even considered. When you make a charitable contribution it's a tax deduction at the end of the year right so you would get it back? I'm going to have to research more about this. I wouldn't mind charging $1.00 to $2.00 per card for charity. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's only a deduction if you itemize.  And no you wouldn't get it all back, just the amount of your marginal tax rate... 10% or 39% or whatever.
