Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Just birth date and zip code as I recall. I'm still doing it now, but it seems pretty legitimate. The questions are really specific to the contest, like the format and how easy it was to understand the rules, motivation for playing, etc. But if later down the line something like that happens, asking for my social security number, I definitely would not give that. It's good to be a little paranoid sometimes!
Thanks. I guess I'll give it a shot. Another thing that made me a little suspicious was the incentive, i.e., being entered in a draw for an Amazon gift card. My thought was that Marlboro would just give you something, like coupons, a keychain or ashtray or something similar, not a chance for an Amazon gift card. Sometimes I over-think things.Embarrassment

they have a big star type thing in middle
maybe that's what my "mystery gift" is. When I called them today to ask about shipping on the camera.. they told me that the camera and my "mystery gift" will be shipped within 12-16 weeks and add the proverbial "or sooner" thing is.. I used every gear point so I never qualified or submitted for the grab bag thingie. Dontknow

Me too! What do they look like? Was it the "bonus gift"? Thought that was a dome ashtray???
Wonder if they ran out of the ashtrays, and are now sending coasters....which would be a bummer....rather have the ashtray.
But, free is free....I can always give them to my sister.
I would rather have the coasters. We have a lot of ashtrays but I have a new desk thats wood and I dont want to ruin it so Ive been using pot holders until I find some coasters I like

I would definitely agree, but the company is (I'm assuming) a third-party service that Marlboro hired. The company probably doesn't have the Marlboro gifts to give away. I researched the company and it got good reviews over all, so I'm not too worried anymore.

The survey is kind of long though! Beware!

Hey there! Did you have your surgery yet? My step dad had his shoulder done and was out planting a garden then end of the week. My mom had hers done and she laid in bed for 3 months! Big Grin She was a trip after surgury, they gave her pain meds and then came back in to take her vitals and she asked when she was going to get some pain meds! LMAO
Did you get your laptop yet? Someone else won one yesterday! Hope your doing OK

I feel cheated ! I didn't get the e mail survey but when I called Marlboro I was asked to take a survey and did it over the phone.............no gift card offered. Grrrrrrr Story of my life. Frown

No camera, cigarette case but I got coupons for off packs and I smoke cartons.

Geesh. I answered the first question and gave 65+ as my age and they stopped the survey right there. It said that's all the questions they had for me. I guess they figure 65+ is "dead man walkin'." shake head

I got my survey in the mail and they are sending me a free Mini Maglight for filling it out. It said I could just call and do the survery on the phone to just give them the promo code. So who knows maybe they will send you something.
