We might see quite a few appeals over the next few days. Please post if you see any.

"Japan Donation Appeal with Red Cross - Every $5 Donation is Matched by Stardeals"

You can donate more then $5. My 5x$5 $25 went through fine. Max seems be be $150 in one go.
I'll be updating this thread and Buyii.com.au if other group buying sites hop on-board with similar offers. I hope Cudo does something similar with their QLD flood campaign (match upto $100 donations)

      Interesting read… makes me wonder now how many of these donations to Japan is actually legit or is it just another scam to get consumers to buy.

      I dun think I've actually seen any of the companies that claims to match dollar for dollar donations prove that they did match it or even submitted the charity organisation.

      Anyway, Red Cross has launched an appeal

        To avoid getting scammed, just make sure you donate only via the Red Cross and not some other obscure donation channel (Facebook, for e.g).
