    My February incentives have arrived this morning, along with next week's posting pack.

    I'm only a couple of weeks into my 3rd stint at the survey and i swear that senders are making far more mistakes now than ever before!

    in the last 4 weeks I've received:
    2 SMARTS with the wrappers removed
    1 smart with the R number stuck over the 4 letter code
    1 item with no R number
    3 items with the time and date of posting written on them

    Am i just unlucky or has anyone else noticed this?

    Nope, not unlucky, I've had several with the posting date and time slot written on and received one which was supposed to be a smart item without a smart this week alone!

    I received next weeks postings and stamps this morning....the only thng I found different from previous weeks has been that they are now putting everything inside a large envelope before putting it in the standard envelope....presumably this is going to help if the outer envelope gets a little ripped the contents of the inner envelope shouldnt fall out.


    my stamps came with the compliments slip confirming that they are the incentive for feb....and my posting week is w/c 3rd

    Thanks Damio


    I did the survey for 2-3 years but I built up such a pile of large stamps (and still have loads) as I never have occasion to use them. Quite liked doing it but found the large stamps a pain!

    No Problem :)

    You could always sell the large stamps on eBay or similar, they're worth £3.60 for the book of 4 so if you have a few would be worthwhile

    I am in training and recieved some stamps at start of my training in December. Maybe this is why i have not recieved any in Febraury? When in training is it usual to get incentives please? Also had a email to say i have to complete the survey for items sent to me. This appears to be a generic email. Should i ignore this as i am only 5 weeks in to my training ?

    I think you are particularly unlucky!

    However, I've stopped bothering to count how many arrive with an indication of date, time or place to be posted.

    You wont get the monthly stamps until you have finished training.


    I had a generic email this morning reminding me to input all items before the end of the month....panelists usually enter their items as they receive them so it shouldnt really have an impact unless you only enter items once a week or so.


    Whilst you are training you should just be sending items and not receiving them so the email will not be of importance to you...if you received the same one as me!!
