    I received a set of stamps (12+4) this week. Don't remember if I got any last month... I should probably start writing it down...
    I keep the memo slip that’s enclosed with the stamps. Definitely haven’t received any for April. 
    I don't get any slips, they're normally just put in an envelope with the letters I need to post.

    Does anyone know how many stamps we are supposed to receive each month? I got none for April and when i queried it I was told both sets would be sent this week.  I got some today but it says they are for May. I can’t remember what I received the previous months but I’m pretty sure this is only one months worth.  
    We’re supposed to receive 12 first class letter (purple ones) & 4 first class large letter (pale blue).

    I too didn’t receive any in April & have received an email response to my ticket advising April & May are being sent together. Not received yet, but I’m expecting 24 first class & 8 large letter first class stamps.
    Me too. Got the same email response but still waiting for April & May to arrive together. 
    I haven’t posted any bundles yet so they usually arrive in an individual envelope with a memo slip clearly stating which month they are for. 

    If you haven’t been asked to post any bundles, you might not get any stamps. I know some people have received stamps but that might be a mistake. Certainly Kantar never sent any stamps during periods when we weren’t required to post anything, but maybe that has changed with Spectos.

    It’s not a separate slip like Kantar used to send, it’s written on the Posting Plan under Observations.
    My April ones came with my posting pack which arrived on 24th April for items to be sent 11th May.

    I have been receiving test letters & taking part in surveys since January. Have received stamps since December when I joined, including the Xmas presentation pack.
    It acknowledges on the memo slip that you haven’t been selected as a sender to post bundles but reassures you that you haven’t been forgotten about. 
    By pure coincidence just got a notification… I’m sending my 1st bundle on May 30 🙂

    I don’t get bundles/posting plans to send out so the stamps are sent separately in an envelope with the memo slip.

    Never noticed that, thanks.
    I looked at all the posting plans I have and can only find confirmation of stamps for May... Might have to go through the recycling wheelie bin.

    Here’s an example of the memo slip for those people that don’t get them.

    Thanks for sharing that. I’ve never had that privilege, I signed up end of March and went straight on the live panel in April. I guess they were short of panelists in my area.

    Today I received a card saying there's a £2.50 fee to pay :( This seems to have happened to a few people now in this thread.

    I received a posting package today with one bundle of 3 letters, plus my May stamps. The "posting plan" letter enclosed with it only shows one bundle id, but when I reported receipt, it said I should have received 2 bundles. Are they counting the stamps as a bundle now?
    Nope - the stamps are not a bundle.   What might have happened there is that a bundle has been cancelled or re-scheduled or as Yorkie suggests you have letters and parcels to post on the same day so you will soon get a box containing a mailbag containing parcels.  Does the app show more than one bundle due to go out on the same day?
    I need to think of something new here...
