Germanfflyer - You are right that there are many people in need of miles but there are also many people who donate miles to those causes. Thanks for your input on the priority of needy causes but I think if people want to make a charitable donation it should be up to them how they do it, there are plenty of causes that are not very important to me personally but I am not about to tell you or anybody else whether they are worthy of their time, money or miles.
