A way that I was able to be helpful.

Capital One sent me an e-mail stating that I could use the points/miles that I had accrued on my business credit card as a donation to the American Red Cross' relief effort in Japan.  The coolest thing was that by donating the points/miles I had (which weren't enough accrued to do anything for myself), I was able to donate far more than I could have if I did so directly.  Any amount donated is a 100% donation.  What a great way to use points that were just sitting around. 

No, I was not compensated or asked to post about this donation opportunity.  I did this on my own because I thought it was a great idea.
