Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Seems to be working ok for me on both the laptop and the iphone.

I was sent an email asking me to become a panelist again, about 6 weeks ago, which I accepted. They put me on the test items since, and yesterday I had an email saying they've over subscribed and don't need me after all and will put me on a 'short break'. Just a quick question though, When I did the rm survey originally, (I did it for a few years) I used to get a plastic envelope each week to send back test items. Do they still send these out as I have saved the letters I received but didn't know what to do with them. Also I have 2 test smarts here, and 2 more letters to post next week which I haven't prepared yet. I thought I'd just send it all back together.

No you don't have to post the letters you have received. That stopped a while ago. I would just prepare the letters, add the smarts and post as if you were still ion the panel.

Thanks aninymoose. I wondered if it's because I told them I'm going on holiday for a week?. Maybe they'll start up again after I get home. We'll see

I got that magazine for at least two months. The people who own the Chinese takeaway that we use were very grateful to receive it.

just got back on after a 2 year lay off ,cant remember the cardboard smarts lol or is that for training
may i ask people ,what do you do with all your stamps as i have 40-60 packs of large letter ones from last time i was an active panellist and have never used one yet

I use them for parcels, make up the amount with small denomination stamps from the post office. Also to send birthday cards abroad It doesn't have to be a large letter, you just count the price. Or sell them on Ebay.

Cardboard "smarts" are only for the training - making it a bit more realistic than before but without the expense of using real ones. These training ones all have the same 4-letter code.
