My sons girl friend is registered with Marlboro mile to receive free coupons and miles info, she is 23 years old and gives my home address as hers even though she does not live there. My wife and I are also registered, we are 47 and 48 years old and give the same address, ours. Abigal, my son's girlfriend receives no less then 3 free offers or coupons or miles info catalogs a month from Marlboro but my wife and I only receive 1 or 2 a year. When you register for Marlboro miles you must give your drivers liscence as ID, so they have your age. It makes it very easy for them to profile younger "victims" for there smoking addiction campain.Us older customers are already hooked and won't be around to buy there products for as long as younger customers.
Another good example of there underhanded youth maketing. Abigail receiver from Marlboro a coupon for tickets to the INDY car race in Richmond Va. When she declinded the invitation I tried to use the coupon, but Marlboro wouldn't honor the coupon saying it was not in my name, even though it was addressed to my home that I am the owner of and Abey doesn't even live there. As I tried to argue with the sales rep for Phillip Moris, I couldn't help but notice that all the peolple in line to get there free race tickets were all under the age of 30. This could not have been by chance.
Phillp Moris is obviously profile marketing younger smokers. I guess they did not learn there lesson from the last law suit against them.
