There was no link. I went on Air Miles, put in my account #, then went to redemption under charities. You can also goggle airmiles for Haiti Relief. I hope, that helps.

Hey Eddie,

When you give 200 air miles to the Red Cross, Air Miles says they will issue the donor a tax receipt for $25. The Red Cross has the Haiti Relief campaign going on. I think, that the Canadian Government would then match that.

The Canadian government is giving up to 50 million dollars of our money to Haiti; I believe that is generous enough on behalf of all Canadians.

Thanks for any support for this idea. I live outside of the Metro area, where many folks don't always have much money. I proposed this to my church, area Masonic lodges, facebook friends, and local businesses and friends. Personally I can afford to give more, and already have. I only hope that others in different circumstances will use this method also.

Interesting concept Eddie..
I'm not sure if the government matches rewards points.. but they certainly do match cash donations!

Maybe this is something the TD Bank can initiate.

If you give 200 Airmiles to the Red Cross Hait Relief, the Government probably has to match it. HBC and Optimum will also take your points for Haiti
