Rewards program is a joke

AI Highlights
  • - Rewards are cheap for the price of Marlboro.
  • - Prizes are junk and it takes a year to reach a cheap prize.
  • - The site sometimes won’t load.

The Marlboro rewards program is such a joke.We pay so much for this brand and they give us cheap rewards.The prizes are junk and it will take a year just to have enough for a cheap prize.They made it so nobody will ever have enough rewards to get the highest prizes.It's nowhere like the Marlboro miles back in the day.You could actually get some good stuff from that.I still have a lot of stuff I won from the miles program years ago.Also some days the site wont even load.

Reason of review:
Bad quality

They took away all of my points 61500 to be exact and won't give them back, I'm extremely pissed about the way they handle this

About 8 years ago I was awarded a pair of sunglasses that came with two additional lenses. I did give the sunglasses to my friend's son he loved them.

Years later the awards program has gone down to a shady program. Regardless of this what I want to know is why in the *** are they putting gunpowder in their cigarettes? I mean it's gross dangerous and not to mention stupid. I also smell and taste other chemicals that literally were not in their cigarettes in the 1980s and 1990s.

Why have they deviated from their good tasting cigarettes to gross tasting Marlboro.

I'm talking about their Marlboro Red 100's box and short box as well. Why?

Guest

I agree! The items are a joke!

Where are the rewards for camping gear.

No sleeping bags, cookware, grills or tools. Disgusting!!!

KEEP REPEATING CUSTOMERS HAPPY WITH REWARDS..Nobody is more faithful then a cigarette smoker. Make reward like.Do something after purchasing so many cigarettes just show ur receipts.Even just a t-shirt or lighter.Keep ur reporting CUSTOMERS..

Dawn D Eno

Twenty years ago Marlboro miles was great and it was easier to earn enough points and the prizes were fabulous and worth it. I got a leather backpack, great gadgets, set of luggage.

Now it is cheap overpriced low quality items that need so many points it costs thousands of dollars in cigs. I am switching to a premium brand Seneca at $5.60 a pack, no tax.

Agreed. I got that really nice leather backpack and full set of luggage, as well.

The stuff they have now is junk. A Samsung Galaxy Tab that is a 4 year old version for 72,000+ points. Seriously? 100 points per pack and they want us to spend that many on a *** device we could buy for $90?

Everything they offer now are discontinued or outdated items.

It's a disgusting joke. We are knowingly killing ourselves using thier products and this is how they "Thank" us?

Guest

The Lord has little to do with tobacco (fake chemical mush now). Don't blame him for human cupidity. Humans modified the original plant to the goop they wrap in paper and sell as cigarettes now so don't accuse the almighty of putting tobacco here.

Guest

Do they sell caskets on that program ? Raleigh coupons used to.

Seemed appropriate ; my friend Ernie was gung-ho on coupons but died at 54 from lung cancer.

Hope the widow ordered his coffin from thecoupon folks because their product and his stupidity landed him there. I'll always remember his disgusting yellow-brown fingertips.

  • - Six Playa del Carmen stores report Marlboro Red packs tasting awful.

Marlboro - Off tasting cigarettes in Playa Del Carmen,Mexico

I have gone to 6 stores in the past 2 days, buying 2 packs of Marlboro Red in Playa del Carmen, and every single pack has an awful taste. I have bought and tried 12 packs individually, with multiple people saying that they are off.

I'm more concerned about a bad batch of Marlboro Reds in my area. Then compensation. I have put the remainder of my go-to cigarettes aside because they are simply not smokable and have resorted to buying Camel Yellows in the meantime, as I'm sure most of your loyal customers have.

Would be very interested to know if there are others that have reached out and if there will be a recall of your product in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Thank you, concerned and loyal customer of your amazing product.

Pros:
  • Fantastic product

Marlboro - Would give it a 0 if I was able to

I feel like I've been robbed by this billion-dollar company. It makes me sick that they took away 61,000 points from me, and there's nothing they can do.

I've spent so much money and time on this company just to get robbed of—I don't know how much money in points that is, but I know it's a ton. They should not be able to take your points from you, no matter how long it's been. That's people's hard-earned money and time. There was no way for me to get into my account, and I want my points back.

This is an outrage that they would do this to any of their customers. I'm literally sick to my stomach over this.

$20000

I feel your pain. Was saving up points but was also having problems with the site and adding codes last year.

Gave up and then kept forgetting.

Fast forward to today I see 97,000+ points expired from inactivity. 3 years of adding codes and spending so much for absolutely nothing in return.

Guest

The program clearly states the points expire after 180 days of no activity.

Guest

61K in points is approximately $594. Why are you claiming a $20K loss?

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-2801641

That's not true. You both are wrong.

Each pack code is worth 100 points... assuming you only used pack codes and not any other promotional points. So 61,000 points ÷ 100 points per code = 610 packs of cigarettes. ((I dont know how much a pack costs where you live but I'll use the national average for a pack of Marlboro cigarettes which is $10.25 in 202*)) *** packs × $10.25 cost per pack= $6252.50.

I don't know where the $20,000 or $594 numbers came from.

Either way, that sucks that you lost all those points. I mean, a tobacco company is such an ethical buisness to start with, right?

  • - Marlboro carton had stale cigarettes; a gift card was promised; address changed, mail forwarded, unused packs returned; please reply ASAP.

I contacted Marlboro a couple of weeks ago about a carton of cigarettes I had bought, and most of them were stale. They were supposed to send me a gift card, but my address has changed since then.

I am having my mail forwarded, but what happens if I don't receive it?

I sent back the unused packs the other day. So if someone could get back to me ASAP, I would certainly appreciate it.
