BzzAgent - Free samples to test

good_advice

Just had this in an email . has anyone else?

Join "live below the line campaign".
It seems to me to say join the campaign and say you are a Bzzagent. You have to live on just £1 for 5 days.
There are boxes showing people have made donations to the cause.

How can people live on £1 a day? mortgage/rent, house bills and food.

I did that one last year and wont be doing it this year, they expected you to get sponsorship money from friends and sign up to the pledge website, it was a nightmare.

Maybe its changed this year though?

I did that last year. £1 a day is meant to be spent on food only, you don't need to worry about rent or bills money. I lived mainly on rice and bread for 5 days, it was really hard actually.

Probably a lot harder to do for us as the cost of living is far greater than say Guatemala, not that I'm saying that the people who have to live on this amount are not in extreme poverty, just pointing out a fact:)

I've had the Below the Line email too - without wanting to sound a bit rude, what's in it for the Bzzagent? I do a Bupa run every year in memory of my best friend's Dad and getting sponsorship for that is difficult enough. Don't really want to do this one if it means having to get sponsored, I think people around me have charity fatigue enough as it is

Hope that doesn't sound offensive to anyone.

personally I think a month is not a long time to wait....bzz has been going for quite a few years now and its trials can be a bit like busses...one comes along and then a load follow...

there was a time a few years ago where trials were very few and far between,but it seems there are more available now that they have linked up with tesco...

my advice is keep logging into the site and checking for surveys etc and hopefully you will match the demographic they want for a trial soon...

most of the trials and the feed back they want does seem to be food and household products but occaisionally they offer something electrical to review...lots of people were lucky enough to get the colgate electric toothbrushes at the end of last year,and in previous years ive had a steam generator iron so for me its been worth it.

My score is currently 7.4 which is good but not as high as some peoples and ive hust turned down 2 campaigns,living below the line and tesco toolley street...so im still being offered trials...currently im doing maggi sauces, oxi action and flora pro active and have just finished the deodorant one..so lots going on for me at the moment...but it hasnt always been that good!!
