    I was regularly off the panel for  six months plus with Kantar. Six months on and six months off always been the norm unless you’re in an area with a lack of participants on the panel. 
    Or do you mean your six months was up five months ago?
    I’m the same, 6 months rest was up 5 months ago - last posted anything in March. I mainly used the stamps for eBay postage but as they are likely to be mandating buying postage through them I’m less concerned about it now.

    I was put back on active duty within a week of my 6 months ending!

    That used to be my experience in the past too but seem to be waiting a bit longer this time. Although, I only finished resting at the end of December, so I’ll not get too impatient just yet.

    My six months was up on Boxing Day.  On previous experience I'd expect to be invited back later this month.  I'm in South London so not likely to be a shortage of people in the area.  20 points short of my next voucher....
    I need to think of something new here...

    Mine was up about a week before Christmas. Got the Email inviting me back yesterday. I'm in South Wales so probably less competition here.

    My rest period ended last July,  in October they said there was a place available but I  didn't become active again until December.
