    Update done. I then logged a test letter I'd just received and it asked me to scan the barcode on the stamp. 
    If you do that you get an extra 10 points which means that if you then send back the transponder we're getting 55 points in total for a stamped letter.
    This was mentioned in a newsletter dated 06/11/24.

    Yes, they occasionally ask you to do that but unfortunately not on every letter!
    I've never had it before so thought it might have been to so with the update, seems I just haven't been special enough until today. :D

    Rest period finished in September 24 and no sign of being invited back on the live panel.  However the other surveys are quite frequent.

    This doesn't bode well...  My rest period ended on Boxing Day and I was expecting to restart in January.  However I'm doing UA and CD together at the moment so at least some points on the way.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I was back on the panel within a week of my rest period ending. Still took about 3 weeks before I received any mail and 5 weeks until I had anything to send.

    I live in the Cotswolds in a small market town so I assume spaces are very limited.

    My first ever 'sack'!  Have I got it right that I just rock up to the post office with the sack and 'Sales Order Summary' and hand them both over?  Sorry I know this has been answered loads of times before but with 388 pages it's not that easy to find ...
