Payback, or snowball?

A question to you all...

I charged a few items for PTA (which I will get the check for next week), and a big Sam's Club run to replenish our fridge and freezer after the storm).  In total...about $520 worth.  This went on CC4.

Mom and Dad were VERY generous and sent us some money to help us with the groceries.

My question:

Do I put all this reimbursement money back towards CC4, that has an interest rate of 9.24%, since that is the card I used to make the purchases?

or 

Do I put it towards CC2, as an additional payment, since it has a rate of 11.99%?


I am still trying to figure out what my next snowball attack will be.  The medical stuff...although smaller...isn't gaining any interest, and is sort of revolving, so I know it will just go back up.   CC2....highest interest rate.  CC3....lowest balance, but has 1.99% rate until Jan. 2013.

I ran all the numbers, and CC2 seems to be the next logical choice by financial sense (due to the interest rate).  But I hate that CC4 went up, especially since I have control over that....and can just pay that back.

Thoughts????
