    I did not receive any stamps at all. I signed up at the end of March and started posting items for Spectos on 2nd May. However, I have not received any stamps. Could you please tell me how many stamps are typically provided when posting items for Spectos?


    12 1st & 4 large 1st. Per month.
    with kantar I was getting double as was posting everyday, and it was only letters
    Spectos are very different!
    I see and cant believe, was 4 years with Kantar but with spectos will finish in couple month, they dont know nothing about inflation, Im not charity, they post me 2 packages separate letters, separate parcels and count it as 1 package
    for 25 points

    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.
    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 quickly

    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.
    I need to think of something new here...

    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.

    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.

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

    I’ve been doing it since Spectos launched (September?) and I have 10,000 points/£100 in vouchers.
