I agree with the comment that the email hint is totally unnecessary, and the ambiguous 3 day expiry window is too confusing in an world where post might take 1 - 2 days to arrive. Additionally the postcard aspect means people at every point along the delivery chain can read the back and front, why not just send a letter? As a side note, I really like the way the author of this blog has constructed his "Contact Me" bit at the bottom, it's very intuitive, clever, and uses URI schemes where appropriate, nice job!

I think it's likely that it probably doesn't expire, or has an expiry longer than 3 days; saying that the code expires gives a sense of urgency. I'm sure it helps with conversion, as this is yet another step of the onboarding process.

  > saying that the code expires gives a sense of urgency It also is, quite literally, lying to people. I personally hate when businesses do that.
