I haven't received a presentation pack for over 3 months. Had 2 books of stamps arrive stuffed in with a bundle today - anyone else not receiving their presentation pack or stamps?

You don’t get presentation packs every month. They only come when you start and end and it sounds like you’re in the middle of a cycle at present?

The app is currently telling me I have a bundle to post next week and that's it....  Since September is my 6th month; I'm guessing that means I'm resting at the end of the month.  Wonder how long I might have to wait for the Presentation Pack?

Mine arrived just a couple of days after I received the Rest Period email which I was expecting given my posting schedule had ceased to have any future entries

Cheers!  This morning the app went to (P) telling me I'm now in my rest period.  No email yet but I expect it will all come this week.

Do all your postings have to be mobile verified in order to stay on the panel?

My nearest postbox is only 2 minutes away (by car).  Ideally I would like to be able to record my outgoing test items using my home wifi (rather than using my Pay As You Go mobile phone while at the postbox) but am I right in thinking Spectos will not allow this?

We do it at three addresses in the family, none are mobile verified, and no problems with staying on the panel so far.

Kantar were insisting on mobile verification as they said RM demanded a a certain percentage were verified. Around 80% I think. Spectos seem more relaxed about this. There was some talk, in a newsletter, saying better performing panellists would get preference when being invited back but I doubt this happenend. The only benefit to us seems to be an entry in a monthly draw.

Thank you HJ.

Does anyone know what the prize in the monthly draw is?

For me, winning their prize draw it's not worth the risk of having my phone snatched at a postbox.
