Any activity, yes - but in this case it might depend on how they treat fractions of a dollar. If they drop fractions they might end up not sending anything to AA, in which case you'd be SOL. Personally, unless I knew for sure that they round up or at least to the nearest whole dollar, I'd by something for $1 or more.

(If you can't think of anyone to send flowers to, PM me for a suggestion! )
