JoannOhhh. You're right. The last time I had an annual membership was 2006, so I forgot about that.
So they have you at a minimum of 6 per year per customer. I'd have to think about how that plays out if someone only wants to send in one or two after that. It's some mix of size of customer and size of order. Either way, it's a pretty good mechanism for trying to filter out the small, occasional orders and customers. But I do wonder if there is something in their business or process such that filtering out small customers (less than 6 submissions per year) is a goal as opposed to filtering out small orders (one customer sends in 20 cards, but one at a time). Maybe not - it's all circling around the issue of EOQ's in some way.
