Postal comps - postcard or envelope?

i_wanna_save_money!

Hi,
As above really - is it ok to send my details inside a sealed envelope or does it have to be a postcard? Thanks

Always scan the t&c's to see what they want.

I use a postcard, (I buy A4 card as cheaply as I can find & use a paper slicer to cut it into 4 postcard size pieces).

Quite often comps will ask for details to put on a postcard or on the back of a sealed envelope, here obv you have a choice.

postcards & sealed envelopes  (in my opinion) make it easier for them to use scanners, instead of having to have someone open envelopes, but again as above double check the t&c's.

Hope that helps.

Best of luck.

Check the individual terms and conditions as the requirements can vary

Thanks everyone, it's been so long since I've entered postals I couldn't remember how I used to do it! I've got hundreds of stamps to use up before the change in stamps and thought I'd use them up rather than swap them

Buy  A4 card?  This is MSE y'know.     The backboard of an A4 pad is a source of 4 postcards.  Cut up cereal packets and the like.
