In reply to the discussion: Want to help Democrats flip another Republican-held seat in 2017? *CLICK HERE NOW* [View all]DFW
(55,977 posts)19. Be glad to help but not thru Act Blue, no way, no how
How about an address where I can send a check?*
Act Blue has software glitches that refuse perfectly valid credit cards, and when notified, they offer solutions that don't work. They are, in the words of a former MSNBC host who happens to be a friend of mine, perfectly useless in a pinch. Plus, a credit card grabs at least 3% off the top for the CC company. $100,000 in donations means a maximum of $97,000 to the candidate if made by credit card. I don't know Act Blue's cut, but they're a company, so I doubt they do this for free. Checks are slower and will cost you a stamp, but the candidate gets to use more of the funds.
*on edit, I saw a P.O. Box on his web site. That is good enough for me.
