Had a bunch of Camel stuff that I got with Camel Cash. I know they started that prior to Marlboro Miles, I assume they started the whole concept.

@OP, you are incorrect on a couple of points:
1. “Swiss Army Brand” was what Victorinox used for branding of watches in the USA (technically a US company, but marketing only) starting in 1989.
2. Swiss Army Brand watches were made in Switzerland, not the US, by Victorinox.
3. Wenger never bought Swiss Army Brand, as it was Victorinox affiliated, but Victorinox did buy Wenger in 2005, combining the two separate companies that were licensed to make “Swiss Army” knives.

Anybody old enough to remember the emphysema and/or lung cancer Marlboro would throw in for free if you used their product?
No points or coupons necessary!
And, you tasted like cigarettes.

I have a Marlboro travel bag I got for free when I was working in a convenience store back in the 90s. I've used it for almost 25 years.

I saved up lots of Camel bucks to get a Zippo and Marlboro Dollars to get a poker set.
Man, the glory days

Lots of people smoked when I first started working offshore and the Marlboro miles and swag was very popular with them. I remember a few having Marlboro bags.

This would be a better thread if it was “how many Marlboro miles did this cost?”
The over 40 board should be replaced with a Marlboro miles board...

If they did this for chew from 2004-2020, I’d probably be driving some Copenhagen Caddilac by now after all those points.

I had more Marlboro miles stuff than I care to remember in the mid/late 90s.

I bought three from a guy once years ago. Surprisingly, they all worked and were in decent shape. I sold two on ebay and kept one for a couple years. I ended up trading it to a friend. I can't even remember what I got in the trade.

I knew a guy who had a ton of that stuff. He had the party house in the area, and all the smokers combined forces

I still have one my dad gave. I just need to find the thing

Haven't worn a watch in 3-4 years. Haven't missed it.

Along with handing out cartons of smokes to young white trash at NASCAR events, Marlboro Miles and Camel Cash are probably the most ridiculous thing done in plain sight by major companies in my lifetime.
