    Yep.  Got an electric Weed Eater with them.  Still got the weed eater.  (Got a Skill Saw with blue chip stamps.)

      Yes. Either on the defunct AnswerBag or here on AnswerMug, there was a similar question posted years ago and I fondly reminisced about seeing them when I was growing up.

    I gave them out at a store I worked at. And tax stamps.

    No. But I heard my parents talk about them.

    Yes I do.  One of my ghostly stories has to do with the disappearance of a bunch of completed books disappearing from a kitchen drawer.  They never reappeared.

    We also had another brand which were yellow but I don't recall what they were called.   There were stores downtown where you could spend your stamps.  So fun it was.

    I think they were called Gold Bomd Stamps.

    That doesn't sound familiar to me.

    I remember pasting them in the books,  but have no memory of what we got with them.

    My mom saved them, but I don't recall what she traded them in for.

    Yes - well, the main British equivalent (named 'Green Shield', I think). My parents collected them but I do not know how much use they made of them.

    In the 1970s, Esso gave away paper "Tiger Tokens" at so-many per gallon with the petrol they sold. I managed to buy an angle-grinder and a jig-saw (electric) with them. It was not easy because it seemed every time I approached the catalogue "price" in tokens, that would go up! 

    In fact they ended the promotion, which had run for some years, before I saved enough for the latter tool, but I still bought it as Esso had the courtesy to allow you to add the cash balance on purchases made with the outstanding tokens after the scheme's closing date..
