shergzus Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 We've had a good question brought up by one of our European friends. How does this work if you are donating in another currency...such as the Euro and are there any security issues that need to be addressed? My personal guess is that there would be a conversion rate used much like purchasing something from another country on ebay. Also...I would like to know if you can donate through your paypal account...since it is one of the securest ways I know to purchase things online. If someone could address these issues that would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to click "Include Fees in donation" or whatever it is. 2. You cannot donate via paypal, they only accept credit/debit cards (as long as they have visa/mastercard/discover/american express) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stetson76 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 The credit card company will automatically convert to dollars at the exchange rate of the day the transaction is placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefspari Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1328111055' post='2912558'] Ive a lot of respect for people who do charity work or donate to charity without an audience to bear witness to their good deeds. [/quote] The reason it's being publicized is because it's a group effort. One person donating anonymously is well and good, but so far doing this has raised awareness and gotten donations from dozens of people who might not have otherwise known about the event. But I guess it's much more realistic to assume that MK is willing to spend hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars so people like them a little more?

[/quote] That's what I thought. Thanks Bros2 for the clarification concerning Paypal. You know....since we have a whole month to do this in.....you just might be blown away by how much comes in! (You might have to raise the bar even more!) I'm waiting to donate until my Discover Card kicks over into the next billing cycle. I'm also excited about the cause that you selected. One day my daughter maybe doing something very similar. She just got accepted for her Graduate Internship on the SLP/Cleft Palate team at Childrens Hospital in St. Louis for Spring Semester 2013. She's very interested in traveling around the world on a special medical team and helping children with their speech after coming through facial surgery or brain surgery.

Solanine Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Just because it's MK doesn't mean that it's inherently done to flaunt any sort of superiority. I mean, they are superior to you, but they're also doing it for a good cause- and showing the community how much money they've actually managed to gather in a short week's time, and that alone warrants the sharing of the stats. Regardless, this is really impressive- especially so on the MK front. Good work doing all this bros! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktarthan Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I would also like to point out that if MK had simply done an internal donation drive to avoid the whole "It's for PR!" shenanigans, the donation total thus far would have been cut in half. Publicity has its uses aside from personal gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what MK has shown in the past, present and will show in the future, you're very untrustworthy. Hence I donated an amount directly to the charity, not through a middleman.
