So, if I dontated $500 using my AAdvantage ClickCiti MasterCard, I would get 1,000 miles from AAdvantage, and I would get 20,000 clickpoints.
Then, I can convert 20,000 ClickPoints to 30,000 Starwood points with the promotion (remember, only the first 10,000 can be doubled).
30,000 Starwood points can be redeemed for:
1) 20,000 Starwood points for 25,000 Frequent Flyer Points on many airlines, with another 10,000 Starwood points left over
2) 30,000 Starwood points can be redeemed for $450 in gaming chips at Desert Inn Resort & Casino
3) 30,000 Starwood Point can also get you $450 in Gap Gift Certs or $600 in Land's End, Sak's Fifth Ave, or Sharper Image gift cert's.
And, a tax-deductable contribution of $500! Not a bad deal, and the Wildlife fund makes out as well (all donations over $200 to them are being doubled by an anonymous person)
