When a card is worth it
For a $200 gift, the fee is more than a typical 2% card earns, so pay Givelify from your bank account. A card only makes sense here if it is the cheapest way to finish a sign-up bonus; the calculator checks that against your other bills.
Watch out for
Givelify is card-only for givers; the church absorbs 2.9% + $0.30 (3.5% for Amex) with no published cover-the-fee option.
