Credit Card companies are refunding those fees now.

I'm on the same boat. Definitely don't want to give anything to the Red Cross since I recall reading somewhere a while ago that only 30% of their donations actually go to the cause.

BTW.
Not to ruffle any feathers but I find it tacky when people post how much they've donated. Do what you can to help (if you can) but keep it to yourself. Just MO.

@ ph0enix: Agree, and amended. Feathers not ruffled; you're right.

I can't find anything to support that claim. Are you thinking about the 9/11 donation controversy? How about suggesting trustworthy charities?

Point taken.

I thought this was the earthquake, not a Wikipedia-searchable thing! (No offence to anyone.)
