Please let me know when you started, I started on 2nd may posting (only receiving bundles to post) and so far I got only 1500 points approx £15 which is nothing, don’t understand why you collect points so quicklySaetana said:arico said:

Given we never got paid at all by Kantar for receiving posting packs, or for posting or receiving items to/from other panellists, I would suggest that Spectos pays better overall. The only minor bugbear is not getting any extra for posting parcels, it’s just the same as posting a letter bundle. Fortunately my post office is 50 yards down the road from the postbox I use most often. Plus we still get the usual monthly stamps. I have cashed out £50 worth of vouchers since I started with Spectos and am close to another £25 voucher. It’s far better paid, parcels excepted, but nobody should be getting more than two a month of those.0 -
I’ve been going since last September/October I think and have just passed 10,000 points.arico said:

About the same time; I've cashed out twice (5000) and am currently sitting at 4700 - but I'm owed 600 for two lots of surveys.Money_Grabber13579 said:

I started either October or November last year, can't remember which.

I started at the end of last year, I'm all up to date with stamps received and I've had 2 x £25 gift cards so far.0

I started around November and have £100 worth of vouchers. Getting worked quite hard and now have July items showing. Suits me as I have just retired and can fit all this in.Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein1

I think it must depend where you live and if the surveys are running as you get 300 points for doing those. I’ve only claimed one £25 voucher and a way off another but have been doing it since last year so it’s variable. The stamps and the vouchers are a nice incentive and now I’ve got used to it, it’s really not much work. However I appreciate it does depend how close you are to a post box and post office. I have a post box next to my house in my village but have to drive into the city to get to the post office!2

Arico - if you’ve only been doing it for a month I’d say you’re doing pretty well!2

I’ve been doing it since Spectos launched (September?) and I have 10,000 points/£100 in vouchers.“Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be thrown out of the nearest window!”1

I have also been doing it since launched last September and have cashed out £100 in vouchers.1
