Enlightened Credit?

"Plastic charge-card consumerism and yoga-minded, organic-eating activism - they seem to clash.

But there they are, fused in new Visa credit cards bearing such images as a meditating Buddha and sunlit hands folded in prayer. Called the Enlightenment Card, the rewards-style credit card is being marketed to the socially conscious set as a way to earn points toward making the world a better place...

...For every dollar spent on the card, these peaceful warriors earn points they can then redeem as monetary donations to a host of charities such as Trees for the Future, or for personal use on yoga classes, organic products and spiritual retreats."

Ah, if only finding enlightenment was that easy!
