If you go door-knocking asking for donation to help the needy, you are not permitted to claim the cash as your donation. If you collect 1000 kr from your neighborhood and add 100 to it from yourself, you can claim 100 kr. Not the 1100 kr. It is the same with stores.
But Swedish and USA law may differ here.
Hopefully I'm wrong there. Still hard to understand why they want to bake that stuff in every single purchase made by card. People don't like it. Probably they're just happy to could show how much "we" donate on their campaign.
Btw, it would be much nicer if they say something like.."we would double any amount you give". That makes much more sense to me but it's not what's happening.
