Points for UA added yesterday. 

The quickest yet. 

Same here but in answer to my email (!) they said no places available in my area to start yet 

Me too - hopefully this means that they have sorted it out - it's still showing on the app though, but with no planned surveys and no open surveys.

Just finished UA week 5 and 300 points have been awarded. The page requiring daily input has now gone onto week 6, so I will just keep on entering data.  No images have appeared. 
Although newbie on this site  was with Kantar more years than I can remember!

You should have stopped entering daily data after week 3. Weeks 4 and 5 are for late receipt of pictured advertising. I carried on in a previous survey until they stopped asking and got another 300 pts though.

I have no idea what is going on. I have been doing the survey with Kantar for many years.  My account with Spectos was activated in March but I have only had bundles of envelopes  to post. I have not received any letters, parcels or books from other panellists. I received a presentation pack at the beginning and have been receiving monthly stamps. Today I have received an envelope with 2 presentation packs and a note saying please find enclosed quarterly presentation stamps for June and September. Apologies for the delay. Does this mean I am resting?  I have been doing CD and UA regularly and have received my points. I feel like I am doing very well out of Spectos. Lots of points and stamps received for not much “work”.  Not complaining.

Mine did that last time, think it was about 4 days. Also had 2 days this week so far. They will end it soon.

Quarterly presentation packs? I thought they were supposed to be every 6 months? 🤔

I thought they were at the start and end of active duty. I’ve been rested for 6 months and haven’t heard anything about restarting yet.

I really think that they make it up as they go along.

I had to laugh at 'Quarterly Presentation Packs'. In my rest email there was a link to a document that stated presentation packs are sent at the beginning and end of the rest period.

I'm completely confused so I'm hoping that someone may be able to shed some light.

I have been on the panel since October 22 so thirteen months now.

I have never received a resting email.

I receive lots of test letters and parcels but have not received any posting bundles for the last two months.

A few days ago I received an email from Spectos stating that I have overdue bundle postings! 

How can I possibly have overdue bundles postings when I haven't even received any though?!

I'm completely confused and am wondering if there has been some sort of strange mix up here especially as I have not been rested yet. Not that I am complaining as I'm more than happy to continue but I do not like to be told I have overdue bundles when they are not sending them.

I just replied above as I was chasing my rest period might be worth contacting them to be fair 

I have sent them an email and raised a ticket. Not regarding resting though as I'm happy to carry on, but regarding them saying that I have overdue bundles when they have not actually sent me any!
