Questions about mail in sweeps

[justiceserenity]

Hi!

So I have a few questions about mail in sweepstakes.

1. I am making post-cards out of old greeting cards that I have laying around. Some of them are thicker and work fine, but some of the cards are on the thin side, and I was wondering if these would still make acceptable post cards? Is there a rule on how thin the paper/cardstock can be for it to make it through the mail?

2. When a sweeps says to send something in 'an envelope', but doesn't specify any size envelope, can you use any size? Again, I have a lot of greeting cards laying around, and even more envelopes for same. Would smaller envelopes, or any that aren't the usual two sizes suffice?

3. Have any of you mailed in for a code? If so, how long did it usually take for a code to be emailed to you from when you placed it in the mail?

Thanks for your help guys! =)

I don't know about postcards, but the ones you buy at the post office are very thin. I have mailed in for a codes twice, one I got them within 2 weeks and once I never got them at all. I think it has been about 3 months.

Thanks for the input! I've been mailing in for two separate sweeps for codes, following all of the rules, and it's been approx 10 business days and still no email w/ the codes. One of the rules states it will be 3-5 business days from when they receive the postcard, but nothing yet. Just curious =)
