I haven't been recording the return of the transponders, mind you haven't actually had one since the app updated itself.  Couldn't be bothered to do it myself and it auto updated within a couple of days, Apple is usually pretty good at updating apps.

I was beginning to think there was a problem with my post. the app was saying I need to return 5 transpnders, so I thought does my sorting office have 5 posts of me not being sent over..

I guess this new system requires me to confirm return,I never did it. It seems a little bit crude as you dont actual mark which transponder you've returned (impssible to do as they are not marked)

I think it maybe just a reminder to return them, nothing else. They will have appeared in the points awarded to you anyway.

The last set of stamps I received was on 14th Feb, included with an item that needed posting on 27th Feb. The posting plan included the phrase "enclosed in this sender's pack you will find the reward stamps for February".

The last item I've received is something to post on 21st March.  So hopefully there's a pack winging its way to me to post 27th March, that will also include the March stamps?  Then again... :-)

I received my posting pack this morning to post on 27th and still no stamps in there

Just gone back into the app and the RFID reminder has gone so maybe it has corrected itself.
I have my postage pack for the last week of March but no stamps were enclosed.

Hi everyone. I've signed up since November, and have only ever received a handful a letters to record as a receipt, but they've been incredibly generous sending me stamps every month.
My question is, I'm just curious to know what people do with the stamps?? Surely you can't be using them all up at the speed they're being sent? I've not used a single one and feel like I'm wasting them...

I used to use them at a fair old rate on competition entries but there are fewer of these comparted to pre-COVID days.

You can always sell excess ones on eBay or to stamp dealers; you will get less than face value but better than shoving them in a drawer.

Agree.  They presumably know how many (and which) transponders are en route to me (because they put them in the items) and which I should actually have (because I've logged the item as arrived).  So the number should be correct and is the number sitting on the mantelpiece until I next go out past a postbox.
