Fwiw, there are ways to get more than 2% cash back:
Citi Double Cash and Citi Rewards+: you get 10% points back when redeeming points with the Rewards+ card, so if you “pool” the reward accounts together you can get effectively 2.¯2% back on donations made with the Double Cash.
A number of credit cards give unlimited 3-4% cash back on all purchases, but there’s usually a catch.
Thanks for the reminder! I used to do this before EA Giving Tuesday and should probably start doing it again.
