When is a Postcard Not Mailed at The Postcard Rate?

Postcards Mailed as a Letter
Postcards that do not meet the size and quantity requirements are mailed at the letter rate. These post cards can be as large as 6.125" x 11.5" and still qualify for the letter rate. These postcards can qualify for discounted postage if mailed at the standard or non profit rate. 

Postcards Mailed as a Flat
Postcards can be even larger, up to 15" x 12" and be mailed as a flat. These jumbo post cards are popular because they stand out. Postage discounts are available at standard and non profit rates as well.
