Pay it forward
Wikpedia has an entry for this expression.
The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept of asking that a good deed be repaid by having it done for others instead. (Wikipedia) Is there a good Spanish expression to convey this idea? (Short of giving an explanation, like, "no me lo devuelvas a mí, hazle el mismo favor a alguien que lo necesite..." "devolver el favor haciéndoselo a otro") Any shorter way to say it in Spanish? I will pay forward your assistance, helping someone else... Devolveré tu/vuestra/su ayuda, ayudando a alguien más...

Por si acaso no viste la peli Cadena de favores, te la recomiendo y, de igual manera, el título.

Así lo decimos acá: "pasá el favor", "hacélo circular"
