Christmas stamps

We have had some tickets from Mailagents questioning the Christmas stamps and whether they will receive them. Unfortunately, panellists on rest will not receive Christmas stamps, these only go to Mailagents who are active on the panel over the festive period. As mentioned above, sometimes your breaks are longer and this means that your schedule can change, this might involve you in the active Christmas Panel in the future.

I think if you are unhappy you should all email them. Then they can guage how we feel about this.

I don’t feel strongly enough about it to feel cheated. It’s just the luck of the draw.

Which would be fine if it was a draw every year. The point is that some people won’t be active any Christmas at all, whereas others are active every Christmas. It’s not like say premium bonds where all the bonds are entered into the draw. In this draw, some people are never entered!

I am currently active and last week received the usual monthly stamps for December. No Christmas stamps were included so I'm not sure whether they will come separately or not.

I'm due to go live on Christmas Eve - does that mean I get The Christmas stamps pack or have they cheated me out of them?

Cheated is a strong take on it?

I do feel a bit miffed if I don't get them - I was rested for 16 months so the least they could do is give me a Christmas present!

I’ve been part of the panel for around the last 6 years, including with Kantar and I’ve never been live over Christmas. I always tend to restart in January and end around July/August so seems that I probably won’t ever get the Christmas stamps.

I received the Christmas stamps set as my welcome back to live posting presentation pack so should I feel cheated?

Why are people so miffed about the Christmas stamps? What's so special about them?
