    I've signed up to spectos while the kantar one was shutting down. Since then I've received the odd few letters every couple weeks and had to post couple mailing bags. Received the points etc but what's the deal with the stamps now with Spectos? Is the stamp rewards still the same presentation pack at start then the normal 12 stamps per month and another presentation pack at the end of the stint? 
    Yes you get your 12 first class and 4 large letter stamps each month plus an extra set with presentation pack at the beginning and end of your stint.  Most of us got a couple of packs of special edition Christmas stamps for our intial presentation pack, although those being rested recently seem to have received a variety of packs.  Plus of course we get voucher points for everything we do, so on the whole it pays better than Kantar.

    Finally my unadressed mail survey appeared although, like some others, it only started from this Monday rather than last Monday.  Fortunately I haven't received any junk mail all week so it only took a few seconds to complete.

    I have completed. the latest UA survey and yet again the 300 points still not  credited to my account. I completed this survey over a week ago. 

    Now on checking the app I have been advised to expect a bundle and says  needs to be sent on a date in July. However I have never been advised I am on the live panel. Does this mean I am starting on the live panel?
    Probably. Spectos can be poor communicators. They have rested a lot of us recently so maybe you are being moved up. Keep checking the schedule on the app.

    Gigantic parcel arrived today. Posting date is 2 weeks time. Given that I am meant to be resting according to Spectos, I don't want this cluttering up my house. I've been to the PO and posted it already. See what Spectos make of that!

    I also received a large sack of books to send next week. It stinks of cigarette smoke so I shall have to keep it in the garage.

    I also received a huge parcel (kids say it reminds them of a weather balloon) which is down as my final bundle to post

    Not impressed it's dated for a Saturday so will avoid the PO and try to squeeze the boxes into the parcel box and hope there's room for them :s

    I think it does mean that you are now on the live panel.
