What's the ratio they're giving? If it's 1:1 (a penny a point), then AMEX profits from the deal because, according to that site, AMEX deducts about 2.5% as a "processing fee."

6. What is the dollar amount that will be donated if I choose to redeem Membership Rewards points?

For every 1,000 points, $10 will be donated to the charity of your choice.

The 2.5% fee refers to using the card to donate money, not to donating Membership Rewards points.
