There's an excellent recent book from Feldheim called commerce on shabbos, by Reb Yosef kushner,  who is Reb Shlomo miller's son in law.  It's the most exhaustive and updated guide I've seen to these shailos
This is r shlomo Miller

If I want to give a credit card donation to an organization which is charged processing fees, do I only get credit for tzedakah less processing fees? In other words, if I want to give $100 and the organization is charged $3 in fees, would I get $100 "credit" or $97?

IIRC you get schar for what you give. Which means in your case 100. Someone collecting told me that recently.
But not including points ;)

L'havdil, you can deduct the full $100 on your taxes. I've certainly been counting the full amount, but I've never actually asked the shaila.

Similar question:

If I want to give a cash donation to an organization which is charged administration fees, do I only get credit for tzedakah less overhead? In other words, if I want to give $100 and the organization is charged $3 in fees, would I get $100 "credit" or $97?

I would say it's the same as their advertising costs. This is part of their expenses because without cc processing some ppl won't use them. The same way if they don't advertise a lot of people won't see them

To add : pro fundraisers take as much as a 49% cut.  100% of the funds are tzedaka.  Call that a processing fee

I saw in several threads discussion about whether selling miles is mutar. However, no sources or quotes of poskim by name were mentioned. Can anyone quote any posek by name re this? Thanks.

call some poskim up. Some are holding in it and some are not. If they're honest they'll tell you a clear psak with their own svara.

There is supposedly a rabeinu yona that explains that the reason why a person who sells himself as a slave is allowed to marry a shifcha cnaanis even though he is still a yid,  is because he was pogem in his kedushas yisroel. I couldn't find it inside. Anyone here familiar with this where would I find it?

Apple Iwatch (or Samsung & LG watches), Is it allowed to be carried on Shabbos?
