  “Hi, Erin! I have an AWF credit card and I would like to know what percentage of each purchase I make actually goes towards AWF? Does my using an AWF credit card help AWF and the animals of Africa at all?”
  –Monica, Grand Rapids, MI, U.S.A.

  Monica, thank you very much for helping the wildlife of Africa and AWF by owning an AWF credit card!

  For those of you who may not be aware, a few years ago AWF developed a VISA credit card in partnership with the U.S. Bank. The cards come with an array of reward programs as well as designs featuring some of your favorite African species: elephant, lion, giraffe and mountain gorilla.

  The application of and use of an AWF credit card truly does help AWF, and here’s how:

  (1) AWF receives $3.00 for each new credit card account opened.

  (2) In addition, AWF receives $3.00 for each credit card account that has a balance greater than zero on the last business day of every 12th month after the account was opened (i.e. $3 per c/c per year); and

  (3) AWF receives 0.20% of every purchase made using the AWF U.S. Bank VISA Card.

  For more information on the AWF VISA credit card or to apply for an AWF VISA credit card, please visit us here.

  Wait! Before You Go…

  With school still a few weeks away, a great activity for kids is just a mouse click away — adopt an African animal through AWF. In addition to receiving a great plush toy, our four-color newsletter, and other educational information, you’ll be helping a child learn an important lesson–that African wildlife needs all of our help if it is to survive. In the fall, you might even encourage your child’s whole class to get involved in spreading the word about the plight of Africa’s wildlife. I’ll have more ideas on that in future posts.

Blah blah blah
