The 2021 Earned Value Promotion is intended to slow the decline of First-Class Mail^® including Business Reply Mail (BRM) and Courtesy Reply Mail (CRM). As technology continues to disrupt mail volume the U.S. Postal Service^® would like to encourage mailers to continue distributing BRM, CRM, and Share Mail^® pieces. Mailers who register their Mailer ID (MID), permit(s), and use eligible Intelligent Mail^® barcodes (IMbs) on their BRM, CRM, and Share Mail pieces may receive a postage credit for each mailpiece that is placed in the mailstream by the recipient and scanned during the promotion period.
