have signed up 4 times so far and never get paased the first month.
they seem to have a flaw in their system that lets you join even if their are too many people doing so in your area.
I have many,many stamps now.

It wouldn't surprise me if dumping older panellists is due to people signing up to this over and over again, despite knowing they are not taking on new panellists. :(

If they were not taking on new panelists then why advertise for them?
And why dump older panelists who are performing well?
It has either come to an end due to cut backs or maybe they are actually overhauling the system to prevent glitches.

thats similar to what I was doing, although some weeks would get 10 - 12 to post all at different times :eek: plus I did a couple of misdelivery surveys for lovetoshop vouchers but I got an email on friday :(

will keep my fingers crossed that you dont get one

But they're not advertising for new people. The link has been around for donkeys, and their actual site does not say anything about recruiting new people.

I applied for my last one through a click through banner while buying paypal postage through ebay.
this was about 3 months ago!

I also was dumped too about 6 months ago, I had been doing it for the best part of a year though and to be fair it was starting to become a tie as they were sending more and more so was quite glad when I got knocked back.

I know what you mean in a way - although I was surprised to get the email I wasnt altogether disappointed. Some weeks I would have to go to the post box twice a day every day at different times and there isnt a postbox within walking distance. It was starting to get a bit much for the amount of stamps they sent, still it was good while it lasted :)

My sister signed up and she thought she was accepted but it said there were too many applicants after she had completed the sign up and that she would be kept on file, so I dont think she will get any stamps.
She doesn't live very far from me so it wouldn't have made sense for them to take new people on in the same area when they were letting others go. :noidea:

I have been doing this for years and even tho I had to put in weeks of holidays dates this year when I was in hospital and recovering they still kept me on. Like the misdelivery surveys at £6 of vouchers each time. I sell the stamps on ebay as always have far too many even for my Christmas cards and some of my friends.
