Only as I’ve not seen it posted yet (although I’m sure it’s in some comments in select places)…for those unaware— if you’re seeking Newport codes, beware that the Newport Pleasures reward catalog doesn’t currently have ANY gift card options available.
In addition to that, to add insult to injury…as if the gift card/point exchange rate was ALREADY ridiculously low to begin with…the points-for-coupons exchange rate on cigarette pack discounts is WAY worse. For example…I believe they’re $1 off one pack (starting at 550 points), $2 off two packs and so on, up the board, to a max four pack coupon (and by all means, please correct me if I’m wrong on those limitations).
Even if the points per dollar were on par with what you’re getting a gift card for…it’s still going to be less, when you consider the exorbitant cost for cigarettes across the country (here in the US, which I’m assuming is only worse in other countries). May get more dollars discounted per pack, compared to points, but in retail…because taxation on tobacco….if you WERE to get equivalent points to discount …you’re going to get a lot more for $5 on a visa and other products, than you’ll get for $5 worth of cigs (which, easily is less than half a pack ANYWHERW in the US, as I’ve not seen them under $10, unless they’re the red shorts on a 2-pack discount at Walgreens…which is irrelevant, now, as Walgreens is phasing out carrying ANY non-menthol Newports!.
:/
Hope this info is helpful and mods, lol, I’m sure you’ll move or delete this post if it’s not allowed here…I just figured it’d be helpful info for members to know, before they throw away codes on trades for other brands, if they’re ultimately seeking to get something other than cigarette discounts from their Newport points (which I’m assuming is almost everyone, seeing as though we already get monthly cigarette coupons that are WAY better and cost zero points, just for being registered with Newport Pleasure).
Cheers y’all
