Yeah. And the Rambam is silent, but the Bais Yosef assumes he's lenient, too. Although the Tur is explicitly machmir like Rabbi Meir.

That would certainly work up to the amount of the credit card bill that actually covered Purim expenses, but it wouldn't convert the entire donation to matanos l'evionim.

I think you've got a way to go before hitting Marie Antoinette levels! :)
