Insta-Charge Story...
Recently, we had an interesting call come in to our support department.
One of our clients who uses our Insta-Charge service to process credit cards within DonorPerfect called and asked if the system could handle a $100,000 donation.
The answer was yes- assuming that the donor has sufficient credit- , the charge would go through.
Why was this donor making a $100,000 donation on his credit card and not sending a check? One answer- Reward Points. It seems this donor wanted to qualify for both a trip and high level status within his airline's frequent flyer program.
While this is an anecdotal story, it is true that major donors are motivated in many different ways to give and allowing these large credit card transactions can actually attract larger gifts- donations that you might otherwise never receive.
