Q:  What is the distinction between when you are able to use the $.26 post card postage rate and the $.44 regular rate. Do you have to have one blank side to qualify for the postcard rate when it is mailing?

A:  The current postcard rate is $0.28.  Your card must be between 3.5”-4.25” high and 5”-6” long.  You can have printing on both sides as long as there is still room for the address and postal bar code information.
