A user is issued a special credit card by a credit card company or the like. Participating merchants offer discounts on transactions completed using the special credit card; those discounts are not available for transactions involving other credit cards. The transaction history for the special credit card is monitored and, once a condition is satisfied, a rebate is provided by the credit card company. The rebate is not provided to the credit card user. Instead, the rebate is provided to a non-profit service organization that, in turn, administers distribution of the rebate to a non-profit or charitable organization specified by the credit card user. For example, a user can designate a specific school (e.g., the local elementary school) to receive the rebate. |
