Probably the first rewards program.
Wonder how many books of stamps one would need to get the latest smartphone, LOL.

My mother borrowed my tongue to glue them onto the pages of the books, I can still taste it.

The Bradys, being the first family to ever collect enough booklets to redeem, bankrupted the company with their unexpected purchase.

Yep, my mom kept those along with Raleigh cigarette coupons. My dad supplied a ton of those.

IIRC, it took 20,000 books to get a car, circa 1970 or therabouts.................

Yep. We were the clear majority population then. A different world, a million light years in the past.

My mother saved Green Stamps and would redeem them once in a while, but I don’t remember what kind of stuff she got with them.
To: Red Badger
My mom would get her’s at the A&P grocery store......Atlantic blvd. at St. John’s bluff road.
That store was little more than a dimly lit warehouse with cash registers.......personally speaking, if I never see another s&h green stamp again it’ll be too soon! Lol!

I remember in the 70s when our grocery store in upstate NY announced it was no longer giving out S&H green stamps. The store then announced a “storewide reduction in prices.” Some people were shocked to learn the stamps weren’t “free.”

There were also Blue Chip Stamps, popular where I grew up in California:

Mom bought some nice items with her S&H Green stamps, then later her Blue Chip stamps.

Thank you, I knew S&H had a rival, but couldn’t remember their name, Top Value, but I remembered they were yellow trading stamps.

In our area there were Green Stamps and there were Plaid Stamps.
