    I'm interested to know why people won't join the Movember campaign.

    Is it because they're asking for donations instead of getting something for free?

    Surely you should show your support to the website which has given you free stuff when it's asking for your help?

    Personally I declined because I already support my chosen charities via monthly DD:)

    If I supported Movember with Bzz giving a donation it would mean if any of my friends decided to grow a moustache/Race For Life or Macmillan Coffee Morning I possibly could not then afford to support their fund raising.

    I did however wish them all the best for their fundraising via the why did you say no to the campaign comment box:)

    Also we are not given FREE stuff in as much as being offered the opportuniy to try something and tell friends/relatives about it, i.e we are required to WORK for the products, I hope this helps your understanding:)

    I take it back I got invited, probably with everyone else who's a bzz member as they obviousely will be doing... refused because its not a campaign its an excuse to guilt you into donating to thier page to complete the campaign. Also noting the decreasing bzzscore yet again.

    I commented on the dropping scores earlier in the month, this is what Bzz said:

    Funny how I got an email recently telling me to 'Bzz now' because my score might have already dropped. Also, the campaign which isn't being factored in, was a campaign I requested to be removed from and was told would not effect my score.

    We already giving them something for the stuff they give us, that's the whole point of their website. They aren't just giving us free stuff out of the kindness of their hearts, we are expected to promote the products to friends and family, and give detailed reviews for them.

    If I was in a financial position it might be different. Or if it wasn't a requirement to donate etc...

    I chose not to join because I already have my preferred charities that I donate to, either via DD or as regularly as I can. I donate to charities relating to friends and family usually, and this isn't one of them at the mo (long may it stay that way!)
    I said as much in the box where it asked me why I didn't want to join.
    Because it's fun to have money!

    We are on a very low income and can only afford small amounts to donate to charity, mainly we donate goods to our chosen charities which have personal meaning for us. I am sick and tired of these annual begathons for charities - I personally do not need nagging to donate to charity, it is something all decent people do as and when they can afford it.

    Also, we do NOT get the stuff for free - it involves a fair amount of work promoting the products.
