Capital One Business Reply Mail Envelope
Customer Locator Code 0016542323019
Have you received a per-qualified credit card offer from Capital One? If you're like me, your household has probably received more than one. In fact, today the same person received two offers from Capital One? All of the junk mail include one thing in common, they contain a return postage envelope.

In college I discovered a fun way to combat these business mailings with a pre-paid mailing, I simply stuff the envelope and mail it right back! The website Office Of Strategic Influence has a great page on mailing the envelopes back along with taping the envelopes onto something larger. I have never gone as far as mailing an actual brick or frying pan, nor do I recommend it, but the idea is fun.

With the Capital One offers I was always a little hesitant in mailing them back, as the back of the envelope contains a "Customer Locator Code" and a bar code, invoking the fear that they know exactly who is mailing the envelope back.

However, I can now safely say every envelope Capital One mails out contains the same customer locator code - 0016542323019. Both of the offers I received have this bar code, and another blog has also received spam mail from Capital One with the identical bar code. So rest assured, Capital One has no idea who is sending their Terms & Conditions for the credit card right back at them.

List of business reply tracking codes:
  • Capital One:  0016542323019
  • Citibank: 939197876894324273524 
  • First National Bank of Omaha: 025964801536

Support the USPS! Happy Mailing!

I'm totally with you on this, and I have been filling these pre-paid envelopes with as much as I can to mail them back, and earn the Post Office a bit more money. I also try to make the envelopes uneven in width, so they must be processed by hand, and therefore the receiver must pay more for them. I don't know if, in the end, that benefits the Post Office, however. My real question had been if that number is unique or not. I often black out a few numbers and some of the barcodes, but now I know it's the same on all envelopes (as I had suspected). The one I have today, 1/10/15, is the same as yours - 0016542323019. Thanks for putting posting this.
