    I was wondering that too! I'm not bothered that there's no incentive as such, but it wasn't made entirely clear on the letter that this was the case, nor did they list in detail what the data the collect will be used for. I think I'll pass.
    Wins: Samsung Galaxy S II - £500, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, $50 Threadless voucher (~£32), Planet Dinosaur book - £20 (thanks MSE!), Robo Challenge T-Shirt and Gadget Show poster - £15, Joseph Joseph Scoop Colander - £7-ish, Ecozone stapler - £5

    I agree - even if they just gave us extra entries for the £750 prize draw for each email that would have been something - and wouldn't even have cost them any extra :(

    They must have had a good few queries to respond to. I e-mail three days ago asking the very same.....heard nothing.

    No incentive then no point really.

    No surprise to me that there is no incentive: they've been cutting back on the incentives for quite a while now. A 16% cut in the correctly delivered survey from £6 to £5, no extra incentive for dealing with the boxes they have introduced, even though they can cause quite some extra work: queueing at POs or going to sorting offices to pick them up. There hasn't been anywhere near as many "special" stamps as there used to be and I bet they even thought about cutting back on the standard stamps when the price went up but decided they wouldn't get away with it.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Another one here who won't be providing them with the 'free' information they're looking for.

    They'll be getting paid for it, sure as eggs, so we should be too.

    I wonder if RM would deliver my (very rare) letters free if I didn't put a stamp on? :D

    Assuming we are typical of RM survey panellists, lol, it looks like they are going to struggle to find people prepared to do this latest survey - unless they come back to us later and offer an incentive ;o)

    I'm glad the majority seems to support the idea. I still have not had a reply from them.

    They are missing out, I on average receive 2-3 letters a day sent from other sources not Royal Mail.

    I received an envelope on Saturday to enter on the system.

    However, when I put the R number in, it says it is not valid. All of the R numbers seem to start with a "0", but this one doesn't. So I tried swapping the first 2 numbers around, so that it started with a "0", but that still didn't work.

    Any ideas before I email them?
