Visa payWave It Forward program

I was out with a friend the other day running some errands and we decided to grab a quick cup of coffee at the McDonald’s drive thru. When I got to the window and the employee handed me the reader, I waved my Visa, grabbed the coffee and was on my way in a matter of seconds. 

‘Waved my card’?

Do you have this symbol on your Visa credit card? Depending on the card type, it could be a different colour though. Mine is white. 

visa-paywave-myorganizedchaos

 

This symbol means you have Visa payWave, a convenient feature that lets you pay with your card by simply waving it over a secure reader instead of inserting or swiping your card. There’s no need to key in a PIN, sign a receipt or look for change. Just a simple close wave and you are done. 

Visa payWave is for transactions of $50 or less, including taxes. So it’s ideal for places like fast food restaurants, gas stations, movie theatres, pharmacies and convenience stores. You know, those purchases that you hope will be short and sweet so you can get on with the other billion things on your errand list.

visa-canada-paywave 

This feature is so helpful, right?

Well, to help Canadians contribute even more, Visa Canada and key retailers are teaming up to support charities with the Visa payWave It Forward program.

For a set period at participating retailers, for every payment made with Visa payWave, Visa will donate one dollar to the retailer’s charity of choice {up to a maximum donation amount}.

A Visa Canada survey shows that 71% of Canadians donated to a charity last year. Almost 1-in-4 {24%} say they’d give more if they had a more convenient way to donate. Well, here it is, Canadians!

 visa-paywave-canada

With the Visa payWave It Forward program, you can give more, just with your simple everyday purchases. In fact, Visa Canada is donating $1 to Ronald McDonald House with each and every Visa payWave used at McDonalds across Canada from now until November 25th. 

In other words, using Visa payWave to purchase my usual $1.89 coffee was not only a quick and convenient way to pay – that small purchase also gave $1 to the Ronald McDonald House. Ahhh, now that’s some easy donating.

visa paywave mcdonalds donation charity

 The next day I was out again running errands with my oldest {story of my life!}. We stopped at McDonald’s for a coffee for Mom and a Mango Smoothie for my daughter.

Again, our purchase using Visa payWave donated another $1 to Ronald McDonald House. So, make sure you use your Visa payWave if you’re stopping at McDonald’s anytime from now until November 25th. 

 

Disclosure: I was compensated for this post yet all opinions are my own.

    As often as we can. Whenever they do the food drives where they pick up at our house I always donate (that would be to the food bank). I try to donate at least one or two brand new toys at christmas time for one of the christmas toy children’s charities. When they hold the food drives at the kids school we always send food as well. I donate our used clothing, used toys, etc. We will donate when they ask us to add an extra dollar or two to our bill at the checkout at walmart or the grocery store most of the time too. Wish we could do more but our income is extremely limited.

    We give to the food bank quite often, do gift baskets for the local holiday toy drive and bring food, etc to our local animal shelter when possible. I have found that purchasing items through Unicef/World Vision is a great way to “give” a gift to those hard to buy for people on my list. They seem to look forward to it.
