is there a downside?
Not really. The most tedious bit is copying addresses to envelopes (you post a mix of letters which are printed and hand addressed). You may not be accepted for a while if they already have someone in your area. IIRC you need to tell them when you are going to be away so may not be suitable if you go on holiday at short notice.
I was gifted some picture stamps ("Classic Album Covers" and "The Olympic & Paralympic games, The Journey to 2012" over a decade ago that are still in a drawer. Should use them really.
I used to be a panel member for the Royal Mail postal survey. Send and receive letters (some of which have electronic trackers inside). Get paid in loads of stamps and entry into prize draws for modest amounts.
