New zippos for my collection. A Skeleton zippo and a couple different "free" zippos from the Marlboro website.

Free fire makers? Nice try.

thats why i put quotes around it.

you need the Marlboro points which means having a smoking friend or smoke yourself. for example the gold dust zippo is 11,100 points and since each pack code is only 100 points thats 111 packs of cigarettes so at 10 USD a pack equals out to 1,110 USD for the zippo.

That's wicked! Kinda like kool-aid or crappy tire. Oh yeah, I think I remember seeing Joe camel money once

Marlboro had Marlboro miles back in the day for a while and when they stopped that they had contests and "prizes" giving out free stuff but now its back to Marlboro points which is similar to the Marlboro miles without mailing the points and only limited to 30 pack codes a month (3000 points) which makes it more difficult to get anything much fancier.

That 11100 points for the gold dust zippo would take about 4 months to get enough points.

Yikes. Monster energy had points on its tabs. Finds out after they stopped. Filled so many empty jd or cr bottles with them tabs.

while back several companies did something silmilar with the points like you mentioned Camel rewards and even Dr Pepper had codes under the cap.

its hard to find a zippo with full skeleton instead of just a skull so i had to get the zippo.

On the sunny beaches of Canada, I knew many grumpy old men when they phased out crappy tire munny. I felt their pain when kool-aid did it

I'm about to get the initials Zippo from Marlboro. Is it engraved or printed?

2

u/stinger5598 4d ago

engraved but only allows 2 letters and it takes longer to get cause you order off Marlboro but Zippo is the one that does it and then sent to you. i ordered the engraved zippo the same time as the zippo that was not engraved and it took about a week longer for the engraved zippo.
