Amex Giving $2.5 Million to Charity Based on Votes

I saw this on TV this weekend and checked it out this morning. American Express is giving away $2.5 million to five top charities based on votes from Amex cardholders (here's the main charity they supported last year). As many of you know, my favorite card is the Blue Cash from American Express card, so I'll certainly be voting (FYI, the top 25 charities are named tomorrow.)

That's awesome. I love to see charities receive donations from good companies. I've been thinking about getting a Blue Cash card anyways. This gives me another reason to.

As an AmEx employee (and huge fan of the AmEx/Costco TrueEarnings Cash Rebate card), I can say that this program is the REAL deal. Not only does AmEx go BIG with philanthropic programs like the Members Project, but they go small too. Every employee can submit grant requests for non-profits they volunteer with. Many PTA groups, Boy/Girl Scouts, YMCA, Food Banks, etc. in my area have benefited greatly from AmEx grants year after year.
