Card Program

CASI leverages the buying power of individuals to raise money for their church or charity. Whenever members use a CASI registered MasterCard or Visa card at participating stores, their church or charity will receive a donation. Members can receive a registered CASI MasterCard or VISA by completing an application over the phone, in person or on-line. In some cases, members can receive a registered CASI MasterCard without a credit check, income check or annual fee.

CASI’s card program helps drive traffic to participating merchants while reducing advertising costs. There is no cost to the merchant to sign-up and participate. The merchant determines what percentage to donate and may change that percentage rate at any time. Currently, more than 150 companies and 7,500 restaurants nationwide have signed-up to be affinity partners.
