    My first incoming Spectos item arrived today.  It asks me to record the postage value - which is slightly odd as it was an A4 envelope with 2 1st class stamps = £1.90 which could have been a Large 1st = £1.45.
    Exactly the same here too. Just put in £1.90 and then said it had 2 1st class stamps on it.

    I received another letter to post yesterday and thought it was odd that the envelope enclosing the letter had a little return address label stuck to it, which looks to be of a private dwelling (I’m not going to post any details of the address, just in case it isn’t a Spectos facility). It did make me wonder who was actually running it…gave me images of someone organising it from their own home, who only has a supply of first class stamps and nothing else!
    Prob somone who's done the Kantar survey for years 🤣 (although I'm nearly out of large stamps, could really do with anothet stint)

    I had one with a return address sticker this morning too. Was your return address in Sutton Coldfield ?
    I also thought it was a bit strange
    Yep, that was where my return address was located as well.
    That is not far from Coleshill where I have had to return all the tracker envelopes too. Perhaps they have a member of staff living there.

    I posted 2 on the same day (one that arrived too late the previous week). One QR code scanned OK but the other wouldn't pick up at all (iPhone 13)

    Another long walk today to post the letter for posting today - which had only arrived here today after the last collection had gone🙄

    It’s like a keep fit app🤣

    Nothing form Spectos this week - so I've thrown them an email asking politely when to expect the incentive stamps.  Reply will be copied here when I get one.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I’ve received my second one to post. But yet to get any information about stamps - has anyone else got any news on this?

    Nope not heard a thing about the stamps yet...
    I wonder if we’ll get any stamps at this stage? Perhaps they are just testing their software and by signing up early, we’ve effectively become Guinea pigs?
    You were right....

    My e-mail from Spectos says:

    Thank you so much for your email. As of now the company is still in the test cycle. We are setting off the actual cycles very soon and you will begin to receive your incentive stamps post that.
    Hopefully we aren’t going to be expected to keep receiving/posting items for another 5-6 months until it goes live for no reward?

    I had to post one on Tuesday past and one the week before but I’ve now got nothing else to post, so hopefully that’s the testing done until we go live…

    I had nothing last week but have one to post tomorrow which arrived yesterday. My post deliveries are all over the place at the moment so who knows what's floating around in the system.

    I’ve had 3 to post in 2 weeks but nothing else so far.
