If you donate £2 to The Red Cross's Japan Disaster Relief fund through Groupon then Groupon will not just donate the full amount (ie no charges or fees taken) but they will also match the donation (up to max £70,000) so your £2 donation turns into a £4 donation.

Possibly 6% topcashback too but not sure if this is eligible.

Please note the numbers at the end of the link are not a referral, it's just the standard link to the page.

If going through topcashback, if you look at the 'More deals' section on the righhandside of your city's deals (mine is set to Bath) and then it will be under there.

Thanks donated and shared on facebook. This is great they will match donations.

For thousands of people this Christmas, their must-have gift is far more vital than the latest gadget or toy – it’s blood. Please don’t let the festivities and cold weather prevent you from giving them the ultimate gift… give blood.

Wish I'd seen this before I donated, I wonder if I can reverse my transaction with the red cross and do it again this way? Anyone tried this?

British Airways passenger? Book and travel using your old Covid vouchers NOW – or lose them
If you had a British Airways (BA) flight or holiday disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, check if you've got an old voucher as millions of pounds' worth are still unclaimed. You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
