My experience with Green Stamps has not been this good. I've been 
working very hard on WARC band-countries for the past 18 months. I've 
kept track of what I've sent for return postage for about 400 cards sent 
out. My outstanding cards that are over 6 months old are almost 
exclusively ones where I sent Green Stamps. I use the nested European 
sized security airmail envelopes with no call signs on the envelope and 
the standard USA 0ドル.80 airmail stamp. My Green Stamp problem countries 
are 9A, A4, ER, HK, JT, LY, LZ, OM, TI, and YV.
