    I have also just received the same. At least it looks as though things are moving forward.

    Of course, for those who have participated and those continuing to participate, you will continue collecting your points, and also receive your monthly stamps for October. Starting in November, all active participants will receive their monthly stamps

    I got the same email.

    Do they realise we’re more than half way through November already?

    Just got the newsletter. There is a link to click to see the rewards offered. Stamps are the same but the surveys are now only worth £3. Also we are supposed to be getting 10 pts for returning RFIDs promptly but I have not had this.

    Lots of moaning here about Specktos.  I'd hope they don't read this.  I take my dad his lunch most days and recently I pass his post women who is always speaking on her phone whilst she is doing her rounds using a handsfree earpiece thing.  I think it's to another Royal Mail worker as on Wednesday she was saying to take 6 months off but to come back after 6 months as the sick pay would reduce.  Then this morning, she was saying the Royal Mail had stopped their free stamps this Christmas.  I won't repeat her actual words as I might get banned from here.  Anyway, my point is - if you don't like it, find something else.  There will be a queue round the block looking to replace.

    How will they know we have returned the RFIDs promptly with the deliveries the way they are. The last few weeks we have been getting post about twice a week. We may post them back promptly but when they receive them is another matter.

    Same stamps, reduced payout on surveys, increased payouts on posting and receiving mail, no “profit” element on parcels. Roughly the same as before.

    They know when you received the RFID. They can track it's return journey too so they know when you posted it..

    They don't have RFID readers sitting in every postbox so they don't know when an item was posted, only when it is first detected on RM premises.
    And they wouldn't be able to do that if the RFID was in a foil-lined envelope.
