I've also being receiving a spare sheet of A4 paper enclosed within posting packs, and a very large white envelope which holds items to post.

i think thats a good idea in the posting pack as have had the brown envelopes come through the door on rainy days ..wet and contents bursting through the sides

I've just received a jiffy bag with a SMART inside the cardboard and only one sheet of paper. Do some panellists take the extra sheets out of the jiffy bag before they post them because this has happened several times.

I have one to post next week with ten sheets of paper - I always thought that was to add weight and bulk to the package

It does appear that some panellists remove the "make weight" paper. They must be really desperate for the stationery as surely they can't think that TNS would go to the effort of inserting the paper just for the pleasure of doing so.

Has anyone else received a letter today with some SMART return envelopes asking you to look for some certain SMARTS they "haven't seen in a while" and offering a £5 high street voucher if you return any of them?

Although it does seem as though they are inserting the randomly sized piece of plain white paper into the posting packs for the pleasure of doing so.....


I do agree with you though some panellists are clearly desperate for a few free sheets of A4

I've had two items to post in the past three weeks to addresses that I pass on my way to work. The MSEer in me can't bear to see stamps wasted like that, and I have to remind myself that I'm not allowed to just pop it through their letterbox

Had that too.


The oddest one ever, though, was a letter addressed to an old school friend from way back, at the other end of the country. Very tempted to add a little note just to say hello, but decided against it on the grounds that it would almost certainly have breached the rules of the game.

I have never heard of this 'initative' before. maybe they have lots of missing smarts they would like back.. i guess the battery life runs out so they become completely untraceable.. wish i had some to return, id quite like the 'reward' !

Yeah I've never seen or heard of it before either, was quite surprised when the letter showed up today.... there's 8 SMARTS on it in total... sadly i have none of them

I signed up months ago and have just been confirmed and sent the instructions from TNS. However, when I signed up I thought we received 12+ 1st class stamps each month free (worth £7+). My e-mail says I need to confirm receipt of free mail for three weeks and I get a £5 Love to Shop voucher - no mention of free stamps. Has it changed? I probably got the info from an old thread before signing up :-) Are there any other incentives as I also saw people mention daily £10 prizes in the scheme?

I hope it doesn't require too much time each week?

The stamps are only given to those participating in the full survey where we post and receive items to and from other panellists. You are going to be doing the Unaddressed Mail survey which means you have to log things like leaflets that come through your door each week (anything that does not have an address on it) - this always lasts for three weeks and is paid with one £5 Love2Shop voucher. Its extremely easy and quick to do. Suggest you click on FAQS on the website, then click on Unaddressed Mail Survey, there are answers there to some common questions.


I'm not sure whether the £10 daily draw is only for active panellists on the main survey or whether those of us who are being rested from the main panel but are still doing Correctly Delivered and Unaddressed Mail surveys (or, like you, have not been found a place on the main survey panel yet) are also entered. I do know that its necessary to visit the website daily to be entered
