Had my welcome back onto the panel letter today, that 6 months went quick. After reading some of the comments on here I expected to be waiting a while after receiving the email to say I was being put into the ready stage but it looks like I've gone straight back onto the panel. I’ve received 100 years of commemorative stamps presentation pack. I managed to get a couple of unaddressed and a correctly delivered survey during my rest period to add to what I had left from my last stint so don’t need too many points to get my next £25 voucher 🤞🏻

Ah lucky you. I've been resting for about a year now!

I was resting for 11 months before being put back on the panel. I had planned to contact them if it went over 1 year but in the end didn’t need to.

I would contact Spectos to make sure they haven't forgotten you.

I agree, it does seem a long time resting. Did you get the email at the end of the 6 months saying you were being put into the ready phase? I would chase it up with them.

Yes I did get that "we haven't forgotten about you" email a few months ago. Thanks, I'll get in touch with Spectos.

As a result of this query I've just checked back and I had my ready phase e-mail on 12 February.  Think I'll leave it until after 12 August and then give them a poke with a sharp stick!

I was put onto rest period July 23. Early Fed 24 got the welcome back/ready stage then nothing till May 24 when I was added to the live panel and started posting in mid June 24. So 11 months.

Hmmm - seems I've been resting since 7 August last year.  Definitely need to sharpen that stick!

No way I would wait that long. It would be a sign to me that I am not valued.The set up was supposed to be to six months on then approx 6 months off. If they think there are better panellists than someone who has been on as long as me then good luck to them. They must have too many panellists in some areas.

To be honest even when I was live I had hardly anything to do - a few letters recieved and probably no more than 10 bundles of letters to post in total.  They still offer addressed and unaddressed on a fairly regular basis so I'm not a lot worse off.

I thought they had forgotten about me as I completed the UA survey a month ago.  However checking the app there was an invitation for the CDM survey.

I thought they would have sent an email as I am in my rest period and really no need to check the app.

You neeed to check app regularly. I get CD requests on the app and UA by email.

Thanks for the heads up. I too am resting, but checked my app today and also picked up the CDM survey,
