87. I don't believe DU had an option to choose how Feeding America accepts donations.
It may be that they pay a far lower rate with the major credit cards than Paypal would have charged them to use their service. Feeding America currently keeps their administrative expenses at under 1% and I, for one, am happy that almost all my dollars go to the needy.

Also, Feeding America

1) has a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator (http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=5271 )

and

2) has earned the Better Business Bureau's "Accredited Charity" status by meeting all 20 of its Standards for Charity Accountability (http://charityreports.bbb.org/Public/Report.aspx?CharityID=2331)


so I think you can feel pretty confident that they are not going to misuse your credit card information.


As for your assertion that "credit card entry takes too long", I really can't help you there if 30 seconds of time is too much for you to spare.
