Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! The Kansas City Zoo, like all frail public institutions, could really use a helping hand. Thankfully Commerce Bank has once again come to the rescue with their Kansas City Zoo Visa Credit Card, a card that donates a whopping $35 each time a new card is registered. Commerce is generous enough to include their normal rewards program along with the additional benefits for the zoo to entice those less enthused by the institution of publicly displayed animal slaves.

Read through Commerce Bank’s Privacy Policy before applying like any mature adult would do. Don’t be caught inadvertently wiring your life savings to third-world nobility.
