Question: So I have a Dem-leaning VISA card, but bank is Zions, which |
|
gives 54% of donations to GOP, 45% to Dems.
Question: Which carries greater weight, the VISA card or the Zions Bank that supplies the card? (In terms of supporting a Dem-leaning business)

2. I think you're right about Zions Bank, but |
|
what I'd really like to know is, who gets more money with every transaction I make using the Visa card -- VISA, or Zions Bank?
Visa gives over 80% of donations to Dems (for what they're worth). Zions gives 45% of donations to Dems.

3. I have a credit card through Working Assets, my phone carrier |
|
You don't need to use Working Assets long distance phone service in order to get their credit card.
Working Assets supports liberal/progressive causes from its profits. In addition to their phone and credit card services, they also have a website for online activism and action alert e-mails.
When I had the chance to get a credit card from them I did so, and I've pretty much stopped using my other ones.
I recommend them.
Hekate PS: They'll also send you coupons for Ben and Jerry's ice cream for signing on.

4. Don't know the answer but have similar question |
|
How much is it helping the issuing bank if the card is paid off every month. I have a card through AT&T, but have never paid a penny in interest. Do I still need to look for a better card issuer?

Visa will always get the lions share of the deal, and far outweigh the Zion's bank in terms of giving power. Remember that they are a money making venture just as the bank is. I think you will find that the Visa contributions coupled with the smaller Zion's contribution will balance more in favor of the DNC, even though Zions is only a minor contributor. Remember that GOP members (and there are a lot of them) who use Zions are contributing to the DNC through the use of their own Visa cards, far more than Zions will be giving to the GOP. In a way it is poetic justice.
