    On checking I have only received 3 test letters and they were for March. I suddenly remembered they did send a letter with some stamps advising they had not forgotten about me. However I was not selected to be on the live panel week commencing 3 April.

    They then send a communication last night advising my time will be coming to an end on the panel. If I was on the live panel I certainly did not receive my Presentation stamps. 
    That’s what I found confusing about the newsletter. It was clearly a single communication sent to everyone who’s activated their Mailagents account, irrespective of when activated & how much activity one has participated in. I guess we just need to wait and see what happens

    What happens to your points if you have a considerable number but not enough for a voucher and you are stepped down for 6 months. I’d be pee’d off if I had a lot of points but not enough for a voucher and had to wait months.

    Nothing you can do as far as I know. You may get surveys in your rest period but that seems to be doubtful now.

    Maybe if people complain they will let us cash out smaller amounts

    Definitely, if they suddenly got 100 emails complaining, I think they would have to look into it

    I have received a bag to post with a small piece of polystyrene in. I do not know how I am going to face handing that over in the post office. At least Kantar put the polystyrene in a box. That made it a better but it is obvious what this is. What normal person would be paying all that money to post that it would go through a letter box.

    I suppose the polystyrene could be protecting something small and fragile?  Keep telling yourself that and maybe you will be able to look the counterclerk in the eye ...

    I have a sack with 2 of these in. Luckily my PO just took the last one without any comment although it was a bit more substantial.
