This program is presumably directed at countries where credit card use is already common. If you happen to use a credit card anyway (and this deal is available where you live), then switching to this is an essentially no-cost way of donating to SIAI (unless you have a rewards program on your card that’s very good). If you don’t live somewhere where credit cards are acceptable/viable, or if you don’t have one personally, it probably isn’t a good option for you.

Many cultures have a stigma against credit cards and/or debt in general.
Most people in the United States are not aware that credit cards are debt.
Probably more accurate to say that they can recite the fact, but don’t take it into account during decision-making.
False.
Are you sure?
I wasn’t aware of that. Edited to try to be less US-centric.
