USPS Promo Discounts
Registration is now open for many of the new USPS Promotional Discounts in 2026. The new discounts became available beginning on October 1, and run for varying times. A select few were opened as early as mid-August. Some discounts expire in June of 2026, while others are good through December of next year. Other programs have “windows” that open and offer incentives in six consecutive months after the initial mailing.
It is important to keep in mind the Add-On Promotions offered by the Postal Service can be “stacked” with the Core Promotions. For example: by using the Catalog Insights 10% discount and both available Add-Ons—Informed Delivery and Sustainability—your mailing is eligible for a 12% discount.
