I often have ideas, some inane some a little less so, this is one of the less inane ones….
personally I don't like small change, i'd prefer to give it away than than cluttering up my pockets with 5p's 2p's and 1p's
I always tend to say "just pop it in the charity box" when I'm paying for grocery, petrol, etc but more often than not the charity boxes seem to be disappearing 🙁
so what if I could have the option to tell the retailer (or the retailer would ask "do you want to spare the change?"
This could work to round up any transaction to the nearest pound giving me say four pound change from a transaction that cost say £15.85 which I paid using a twenty pound note.
The "spare change" could then be distributed to Shelter or an other nominated charity.
On larger purchases such as grocery shopping or petrol the act of giving could also be rewarded with a couple of nectar points?
so STW what do you think? If you think there's mileage in this I'd be keen to hear your thoughts?
(please don't steal my idea, run with it then make millions without including me!)
