Donating Community Rewards possible option.

It would be nice if PM would have an option for us to be able to automatically donate to charity community rewards earned.

Admirable. But I'd say can o' worms.

It's not really real money, is it? Sure, it's allowing you to not spend real money but to convert it out to real money I think would be problematic.

That's my kneejerk top of my head response 🙂

I think it is a great sentiment but PM probably does not have the manpower and resources to administer a donation program.

Yeah not sure how well this would integrate into their already messy backend, but it's a good/noble idea.

It is a nice thought, but they are just credits and not real cash. If you feel that strongly about it you could always donate the cash equivalent of your rewards to a charity.

It was just a thought. Individual donations of just $1 or $2 would not amount to much but if several hundred PM subscribers donate then it would be significant.

I can't see them adding a donation option, not that they're stingy or anything but the rewards we get is just credit, it's not really money. They provide super cheap plans, maybe that's charity enough?
