    Also, to add, I’ve had an email from them to Belinda asking me to return my RFID tags. 
    Which I don’t have because a) I’m not Belinda and b) I haven’t been on the active panel for months.

    So if Belinda is on here, send your tags back. 
    Haha, I'm a Belinda but my email said Madeline, followed up with an apology for getting my name wrong. They're asking for tags back continuously over the last 2 weeks, as I've had my resting letter. After 12 months live, the rest will be nice. They also sent me a Christmas 2023 presentation pack, which I feel like I've been cheated on, how boring 5 stamps which are still attached to the backing paper and weren't even torn off neatly using the perforations! However, the £200 in vouchers has been very nice  :smile:

    I'm still waiting to be invited back as I've had the ready e-mail in December.
    The invite back came this afternoon to expect items and stamps in next few weeks.  Will be hacked off if I end up with more Christmas stamps.  Will I be lucky and get the Spice Girls?
    Christmas stamps are £8.60 compared to Spice Girls £19.65. Good luck.
    You called it - I got Christmas 2023 as well.

    I haven't finished the 2022 pack yet - there's little call for 1st and 2nd Large Christmas stamps
    My stamps came about a week after receiving that email so unless they very quickly exhaust the Christmas stamps, I suspect you will be unlucky (or lucky, depending on your perspective!)

    The books of 8 stamps I received were KC3 but the books of 4 were still QE2.

    I got all QE2. Probably depends who did the actual packing.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I am allegedly back on the panel. However I had the same message several weeks ago followed by nothing  at all, so not holding my breath. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    My first package arrived today - it's a mailbag to go out on Tuesday 20th.  As I'm out of town that day I was hoping for a bundle that I could just post on the way to the station at 7am but nope... I guess it can wait until next week.  Got Feb incentive stamps as well - still all QEII


    I need to think of something new here...
  • I received my 'resting' email on Monday and the presentation stamps arrived today - a 2022 pack of migratory birds!
  • Has anyone that has been on a rest period found they’ve been invited to more surveys, either correctly delivered or unaddressed, than when on the active panel? I did a few unaddressed mail surveys while on the active panel but was only ever invited to 1 correctly delivered one. I started my rest period in December and currently doing a correctly delivered one which ends this weekend, but had an email yesterday asking if I can do another starting from next Monday. Not complaining as it’ll build up my points while resting, just curious.

    I have been resting but have only ever been invited to unaddressed ones usually back to back.  As soon as I finish one another one starts. I have stopped doing them now because it’s too much hassle for 300 points.

    I don't see unaddressed mail as a hassle. It's literally about 15 seconds every day?

    I don’t see UA as a hassle if they award the points. 
    I have raised yet another ticket about missing points. If they don’t award them I am going to patch the whole thing.

    I was a bit disappointed to get 2022 stamps to be honest. Never got older stamps with Kantar
