Has anybody used Bloomees.com? From what I can gather on the website, it is basically a "middleman" for shopping on the internet. They have a ton of merchants (such as Home Depot, Babies R Us, Gap, etc) that paticipate in a cash back program. You shop at the merchant of your choice through Bloomees and they donate a predetermined portion of the purchase. You can invite people to sign up to shop through Bloomees to benefit your cause. Anyway, I just wanted to hear if anyone knew anything about this.
Can anyone tell me more about iGive. I went into the site and it sounds like a great idea but when you set up your cause, can you make it so it is not only sent directly to RFL but also that I receive credit online at RFL for the donation? Do I need to have them send me a check directly and then turn around and post a donation in my name at RFL so I get online credit for the donation?
Thanks for anything anyone can share.

iGive is grrrrrreat!
Our team uses iGive and it couldn't be easier. Just register your team (for free), tell everyone you know to register (for free), and when they shop through one of the participating retailers, that retailer donates a predetermined percent of the sale to your team. Voila, shopping for a cure! iGive automatically mails a check to your ACS person. It's the easiest year round fundraiser. I tell people if they are shopping online without subscribing to iGive, they are just throwing away money. Guilt is such a good motivator. :)

Something similar...
I've not heard of that site, but I have heard of a couple others. Our team uses www.igive.com They've got almost 700 stores that you can shop at, even eBay! Each store gives back a different amount. It's free money for your team with little effort on your part! Good luck!
