Everyone likes to do good deeds, so why not make your spending habits contribute positively to the world? Here are a few credit cards out there that offer the opportunity to do good!

The Susan G Komen庐 Credit Card

罢丑别听, issued by Bank of America, offers cardholders cash back on every purchase. You'll earn one percent cash back on every purchase, two percent聽at grocery stores (and now wholesale clubs), and three percent聽on gas for the first $2,500 in combined grocery/wholesale club/gas purchases each quarter. Plus, Bank of America is guaranteeing Susan G Komen庐 $3,000,000 in donations until 2020, promoting breast cancer awareness.

World Wildlife Fund Credit Card

If you love animals, consider the聽, which gives $25 for every new account, as well as 0.25 percent of all net purchases straight to the conservation group.

Capital One Cards

With Capital One's聽聽program, Networks for Good handles the transaction for your charitable giving, and Capital One covers the transaction fee. You'll also earn points for your spending, since you're donating via credit card: it's a win-win!

Discover Giving

痴颈补听, you could also donate via credit card and earn rewards, but it doesn't appear that Discover covers their transaction costs, so keep that in mind when you're helping out your favorite charity.

American Express

American Express will allow you to聽, though I would suggest donating cash as Membership Rewards points are quite valuable!

Citi ThankYou Rewards

颁颈迟颈'蝉听聽program also offers a way to redeem your points for good, but again, I would recommend a straight cash donation instead. Those ThankYou Points can save you a lot of money on flights!
