The 10% discount from this promotion is applied as a flat rate to all eligible postage, regardless of the mailing's size. While the underlying USPS Marketing Mail class requires a minimum volume for presorted rates (200 pieces or 50 pounds total mail), the promotion itself does not impose *additional* minimums.
