25 recompensas de millas Marlboro que los fumadores podían ganar en los años 90

Marlboro Miles ofreció a los fumadores una forma de ganar recompensas simplemente comprando cigarrillos.

Esto explica cómo funcionó el programa Marlboro Miles y brinda ejemplos de algunas de las valiosas recompensas que puede canjear.

Cómo funcionaban las millas de Marlboro

Es difícil creer que, en algún momento, puedas ser recompensado por fumar.

A pesar de los anuncios antitabaco generalizados en la televisión en la década de 1990, las compañías tabacaleras todavía ofrecían recompensas como ropa, equipo para acampar y artículos para el hogar a los clientes que compraban sus productos.

Durante la década de 1990 y principios de la de 2000, Marlboro dirigió un popular programa de recompensas llamado Marlboro Miles. Cada paquete o caja de cigarrillos Marlboro incluía un cierto número de millas impresas.

Los fumadores pueden sacar las millas de la caja y guardarlas para obtener diversas recompensas.

Al crecer, sentía que fumar y el dinero estaban extrañamente conectados. Cuantos más cigarrillos fumabas, más parecías tener. O, si usted no fuma, tal vez un familiar trabaje en una tienda de conveniencia y pueda “adquirir” algunos paquetes, una pequeña ventaja del trabajo, por así decirlo. ¡Siempre estaré agradecida a mi abuela, quien de alguna manera logró conseguirme un chándal Marlboro completo en su día!

Casi al mismo tiempo, otra marca ofrecía un programa de recompensas llamado Camel Cash. Sin embargo, Marlboro realmente tomó la delantera con su amplio programa de recompensas.

Recompensas de millas Marlboro antiguas

Marlboro solía publicar un catálogo cada año aproximadamente con recompensas que los clientes podían obtener al canjear sus puntos de millas. Estas recompensas iban desde artículos pequeños, como naipes, hasta premios más grandes, como juegos de maletas completos.

¡Los coleccionistas serios podrían ganar premios tan grandes como una mesa de billar! A continuación, presentamos un vistazo a algunas de las recompensas más interesantes que puede obtener con Marlboro Miles.
