    Don't forget that a few days ago, they sent a message including:

    Your Incentive Stamps

    We are aware that stamps are behind schedule, we are currently working to get them sent to you as soon as possible and the team is working hard on getting these processed this week. Some of you have already received them but if you still haven’t you will be receiving both April and May incentives stamps together. We are very sorry for the delay in getting these to you. Please accept our deepest apologies.

    I received on Saturday 27 May  stamps for April/May. However not sure why I get them because I am not on the live panel and currently on the UA survey.

    The terms of being a Spectos Mailagent state that as long as you’re registered as a panel member you’ll receive 12x 1st class & 4x large letter stamps per month & a souvenir pack every 6 months. It does say you have to be on the live panel to get the stamps. The points awarded are the rewards for activities performed, i.e. conducting the UA survey, or mailing items.

    If that turns out to be what they meant, it would certainly be a lot more generous than Kantar!

    Surely, when you are resting, you are not on the live panel so no stamps.

    With the stamps they sent the following message:

    "Since you were also not planned for the week 21 May, we send you hereby 2 sets of stamps, which cover April and May"

    Make of that what you will!

    You are doing well. I am doing 2 or 3 mailings a week and receiving even more. My stamp supply is regular though.

    Maybe you are registered on the live panel, you just haven’t been chosen to receive & send post yet.
    Something similar happened to me. I registered in December & got December’s stamps. I didn’t receive or send any items until mid January.

    I was originally with Kantar then signed via them to Spectos in December 2022. I have never been informed I was ever on the live panel.

    On checking I have have received two test letters from them to send back and one was in Feb and one in March. If I am on the live panel should I have not received some Presentation stamps at the start. 

    I am certainly not complaining but it seems unfair on those panelists who have to work their socks off for their stamps and I do little work and basically gets the same minus the Presentation stamps and some points.
    We are getting points that build up to vouchers for "working our socks off". Don't worry too much.

    I'm not sure if anyone can help? I joined Spectos in April and have completed the Correctly Addressed Survey and today am due to start the Unaddressed Survey.  However when I go to the App. on my iPhone the 3 images under 'Due items' will not load i.e do not show am image, just effectively a grey box. I have an iPhone.  I therefore cannot do survey. I'm not sure how I can rectify this or what I should do?  I have only contacted Spectos once and it took over two weeks to get a reply!
