Postcard size

[werfamily]

I am going to order the pre-stamped postcards from the USPS website, but they don't indicate what size they are. Does anyone know if these postcards are 3-1/3 x 5" as is asked for in the Disney official rules?

Thanks!

I just bought 20 prestamped cards from the post office.

They are 3.5 X 5.5 inches.

It just cost me 28 cents each (26 cents for postage and 2 cents for the card)

[edit] From the website, it says nothing about size. (the 2007 one did)

Great...I like that they are eliminating the size thing, since it has been hard to find the right size postcards! I don't know how much they really care, but many sweepstakes are quite particular.

Has anyone won from submitting a postcard that they know was not 3.5x5" ?

The prestamped postcards from the post office will work fine. We have been using them for almost a year now and have won several pin/lanyard sets.

The changes that stand out for 2008 is "Hand written" and "Piece of paper or postcard"

@ snoopywoodstockus- how often do you send one in?

Every day, every other ...

I imagine it can get expensive at 28 cents a pop.

I have been using index cards and have won 9 times. I do have cards returned from time to time for not being post office regulation size but that has not stopped the winnings.

OOPS, I don't know how I did that but it came up twice. I guess that I just got too excited! Sorry everyone!

when you send in the cards do you put them in an envelope...??

I just worry about having my phone number out where anyone can see it...

Where is the website with the offical rules for entering via a postcard? I really hope they do not have to be hand written, and can be typed. Anyone know for sure what it has to be?
