0.25 cents per point. Shame it isn't scalable...

My Hilton/Lyft accounts are linked, but I cannot find the page for donations. Can somebody share URL, please?
Although, judging from the comments above, it might not be worth it...

Maybe 0.15-0.20 depending on what tax bracket you're in.

I tip my hat to whoever remembers the $5 tax write off when next year's tax time rolls around... But you are quite right...

If I read the fine print correctly, I do not think this qualifies as a donation since the money is going to Lyft the for-profit corporation.

Points have not posted for me yet...

Delta bonus arrived, Hilton not yet
I donated on 3/18. The bonus Chase points posted with the charge, and the Delta miles posted yesterday. No Hilton points yet.

3/18: Donated
3/29: Delta - 250 miles Posted

Nothing on Hilton yet

I actually forgot the Delta was coming too (just wanted the Hilton points)
It's not a big deal, I mean it's supposed to be for a cause, but I was starting to think they screwed something up on the promotions side and this wasn't coming
Good to see the Delta posted, at this point I see no reason why the Hilton won't post eventually
