Chase this is super awesome! However, I hit a small snag. I wanted to go above the $20 and donate a total of $50 but Watsi won't let me because my gift card only has $20. I tried to sign up but couldn't find the button and eventually had to Google to find it. Maybe add a sign up button next to sign in, or allow me to donate $50 by adding a card now (when I hit donate).

Bilateral club foot is something that I struggled with as a child, I am extremely happy that I will help someone else to have the corrective surgery and lead a normal life. Thanks for that opportunity.

Thanks to you, Chase, for Watsi and thanks to Segment for making my life as a developer much easier by taking the pain out of implementing analytics in my software. Much love to both of you!

EDIT: Even after signing up and adding my credit card, I still can't donate more than $20 until I spend my gift card. Guess I'm making two donations.

EDIT2: Let me give Watsi more than a $6 tip! :)



This is great feedback. We had to cut scope to get gift cards out in time for the holidays, but we're going to enable people to add value to their gift cards in the future. For now, we really appreciate the double donation :)

We're also working to reintroduce sign up. Re: tips, there's an "other" field where you can add any amount, and we're going to keep A/B testing the entire tip flow to make sure it's as simple as possible.

Thanks again. We have lots of work to do!


+1 - I ran into the same issue. FWIW, I am logged in and you have my payment issue on file, but I was also not able to increase the donation amount.

No big deal, and obviously I was able to just make another donation, but I wanted to mention it in case its an easy fix.

Thanks to all of you. You make me believe in people.
