    Will there still be Presentation stamps given when on the main survey?  

    The FAQ says every 6 months. We got Christmas presentation packs last year - which I assume count as the start of cycle one and we should get another when we complete our first cycle. What I don't know yet is when the cycle starts - I was on from October in the test phase so is that the start of my 6 months or will it start from the dual-running phase this year? It might well be different for all of us... The communications from Kantar suggest that anyone on survey now will be transferred to Kantar at the end of March - but I'll be surprised if they also keep track of where people are in their individual cycles.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I have been doing Kantar and Spectos at the same time. I was due to finish my cycle with Kantar in January but they asked me to extend it. I too am curious as to when the resting period will start. I am hoping the xmas stamps were just a bonus as they were with Kantar and not the presentation stamps but we find out eventually.

    I've been on both simultaneously but conveniently, was due to finish my 6 months of Kantar in Match anyway.  I actually got 2 sets of Christmas stamps from Spectos - but not clear whether this was both the presentation pack for starting and a Christmas bonus or what...

    I got two sets of Christmas stamps from Spectos as well - too late to actually use for Christmas but they will come in handy for this year.

    I got two presentation packs of Christmas stamps from Spectos.
    I did not get any from Kantar. When I enquired about them they sent me some ordinary stamps instead.

    Sadly not. I only received an empty opened envelope.

    I’ve just downloaded the new App version after getting a notification to do that.
    The home page is now blank & showing no data available & my points have gone back to Zero. I can’t get onto any parts of the Home Screen eg FAQ it’s just whirring round!
    * Update … it’s now working & showing all data. I must have caught it in the middle of the update!
    I updated to 1.5.0 yesterday and hit the same problem.  I updated again to 1.5.1 which appears to fix the problems in 1.5.0 from yesterday.
    I checked Google play after seeing your post as I had no idea that there was a second update and it worked! Thank you.

    Not entirely = those packs have £1.85 stamps in them and that rate goes up to £2.20 next month.   They do also have £2.55 which will still be usable but an over payment.

    I'll be using them for parcels anyway so I just put whichever stamps on as close as I can get to the correct postage for the size and weight of the item I am sending.
