Methods, devices, and systems for charitable giving are disclosed. A consumer can set up a target amount of charitable giving that he or she wishes to pledge during a year, and amounts given toward that goal in various transactions can be summed and compared against the target. A consumer can change his or her target or contribution amounts based on projections toward a year-end date. Customer loyalty points, such as reward points, airline miles, hotel stays, etc. can be converted to cash equivalents and given to charity toward the personal goal if they are about to expire and could be used to meet a targeted charitable amount. Web portals and wireless kiosks located in public areas can accept payments, update users on their gift levels, and generally remind people to contribute to charity. |
