A credit card company will send you a yearly statement showing all
your purchases, you just need to compute that 1/2%... but I don't
think you can know with certainty that the charity of your choice
received your contribution... like with any program there are admin
costs, I doubt much gets to the charity, and then the charity has
admin costs as well... charities are a scam too. I donate pet food to
local animal shelters, no cash.
