I think your "idea" is disgraceful!

It wouldn't matter how many blank envelopes they get back. It is part of their marketing plan and the public who does subscribe to the things they offer will be the ones who ultimately pay the price. If AARP's costs increase, guess what they have to do, genius? That's right . . . the rates for what they offer will have to increase.

So what you are suggesting will hurt AARP's customer base. THAT is who will offset AARP's cost for sending out mailers!
