Older threads from years ago. Ill donate, because of the recent Haiti disaster.

Instead of starting a new thread, why not add to an existing thread? Doing so does the same thing as starting a new thread.

Points for Red Cross Donation?
Donating to the Red Cross Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief

For those donating, note the terms and conditions

Can these three threads can be turned into a Red Cross FAQ thread?

I did see the '05 threads. I thought we werent supposed to bring up really old threads? Maybe I was wrong? None the less, people need our help and any donations would be good at this time.

Yes, I agree, so thanks for posting this timely and beneficial redemption opportunity. Starpoints transferred to the Red Cross turn into a cash donation. And, now, in light of the disaster in Haiti, SPG will match Starpoint donations to the Red Cross through February 15th in an effort to do its part as well.
