GE Money eco MasterCard cardholders have a unique opportunity to help the environment. Thanks to the special cash back offer of the GE Money eco MasterCard credit card, users can make a cash back donation of up to 1% of their expenditure on the GE Money eco MasterCard to carbon offset projects. With enough expenditure, it is not only possible to pay for enough carbon offsets to offset your own car usage for a year, it could even be enough to offset the carbon emissions of others! With growing concern over climate change, the GE Money eco MasterCard couldn’t have come at a better time.

Each Earth Day, April 22, GE Money use the cash backs from users of the GE Money eco MasterCard to purchase carbon offsets through the Origin Carbon Reduction Scheme that is run by Origin Energy. The GE Money eco MasterCard carbon offsets can be purchased in a variety of ways, from planting trees to emission reduction projects. This allows the money raised by using the GE Money eco MasterCard to do the most good, as the donation of 100,000 GE Money eco MasterCard users each year can do more than single and frequent, but small, donations from a single GE Money eco MasterCard user.

You do not have to give up the entirety of your cash back, however, when using the GE Money eco MasterCard. Users have a choice of donating 1% of their purchases, or else donating 0.5% and receiving 0.5% as a personal cash back. This gives GE Money eco MasterCard users a sensible choice of partial donation while still attending to reducing the costs of using a credit card.

If you are a credit card user whose concern for the environment informs your finances, then it may be worthwhile for you to consider the GE Money eco MasterCard.
