HOW TO EARN POINTS
Participants must be enrolled in the Program to earn Points.
I. Entry of Pack Codes
During the Program Period, Participants will be able to earn Points when the Participant purchases a specially marked pack of
Marlboro sweepstakes cigarettes (see below) containing a unique 12-digit code (“Code”) and then correctly enters the Code on the Website, or via the Marlboro mobile application available for download on Android smart phone devices (“MHQ”), or via text message (see the SMS Enrollment section for more details). Visit the Website for a list of Marlboro cigarette products that will be specially marked with the stamp shown below and contain Codes. This list of products is subject to change at any time without notice to you.
Rewards Logo
Each Code may be entered one (1) time only. Each Code properly entered during the Program Period is worth 100 Points, unless otherwise stated by the Company. The Company reserves the right to modify the number of Points that may be earned for entering a Code at any time, in its sole discretion. Points will be stored in the Participant’s Account as they are earned, subject to verification by the Company. The verification process may cause a delay in Points being credited to a Participant’s Account. Participants can enter up to a maximum of thirty (30) Codes in each calendar month during the Program Period (but not more than fifteen (15) Codes during the month of January 2019).
If any part of any Code is counterfeited, illegible, mutilated, tampered with, or contains printing, typographical, mechanical or other errors, the Code may be rejected and deemed void and invalid. Any remedy with respect to any defective Code shall be determined by Company in its sole discretion. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the decisions of the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive in all matters relating to the Program, including without limitation determinations regarding the validity of Codes. Codes may not be sold, traded, bartered, auctioned (including through Internet auction sites), or given away. Codes will be rejected if not obtained through authorized, legitimate means. Codes may not be submitted by mail. Codes that are mailed to the Company will be deemed forfeited and will not be returned to the Participant; no Points will be added to Participant’s account from Codes submitted by mail. All Codes must be correctly entered as described in these Terms and Conditions by the Participant prior to the end of the Program Period to earn Points.
II. Additional Activities
During the Program Period, from time to time and in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may offer additional methods of earning Points, including, without limitation, by describing such methods and the applicable number of Points on the Website, or by email, direct mail, or SMS to Participants or Eligible Smokers. These methods may include, without limitation, viewing content, completing surveys, entering sweepstakes (if eligible and according to official rules), answering trivia questions, and other forms of engagement on the Website, MHQ or via SMS (if Participant provides written consent to receive SMS communications). Any additional methods of earning Points are subject to these Terms and Conditions and any terms and conditions listed on the Website or otherwise presented in connection with the description of the additional applicable Points earning method, if any (“Additional Terms and Conditions”). Not all earn activities will be available to all Participants.
From time-to-time in Company’s discretion, Program Participants may be given the opportunity to earn Points by inviting Eligible Smokers to enroll in the Program using a “Refer-a-Friend” method. In order to earn Points via the Refer-a-Friend method, Participants must visit the Website and, where designated, enter the email address of an Eligible Smoker that is neither currently nor formerly enrolled in the Program and that is a personal acquaintance of the referring Participant (the “Submitted Email Address”). Company will scrub the Submitted Email Address against its internal opt-out lists and any other list(s) Company may use for verification purposes from time to time. If the Submitted Email Address is approved by Company (in Company’s sole discretion) to receive an invitation for the Program (an “Approved Email Address”), Participant may forward an automated, unbranded email message to the Approved Email Address with an invitation for the recipient to enroll in the Program, which invitation will include a personalized link the recipient can use to enroll in the Program (subject to verification). If the recipient uses the personalized link to successfully enroll in the Program, the referring Participant will earn the number of Refer-a-Friend Points identified on the Website at the time Participant provided the Approved Email Address. By providing a Submitted Email Address, Participant represents and warrants that the owner of the Submitted Email Address is an Eligible Smoker and is personal acquaintance of the submitting Participant. The Company reserves the right to void any Refer-a-Friend Points for any reason, in its sole discretion.
The Company may offer bonus Points for purchases, online activities, or special events from time to time at its sole discretion, which shall be offered pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and any Additional Terms and Conditions.
In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any Additional Terms and Conditions, the Additional Terms and Conditions shall control.
