I've been trying for over a month to get more information on how the Platinum membership works. Last month I had over 3000 points and was told that I needed to spend another $300 Just to keep my platinum status. Today, my points have dropped to about 2700 after I have made almost $300 in purchases since then and I am getting a message that I still need to spend $300 in the next 15 days! Something's not right.

It's number of points in a year time period bro.

Forget the hype, the loyalty programs are worthless. You don’t get dedicated 1-1 support, frankly you get no support. I’ve been a Platinum member for the past year and whenever I’ve had a problem all you hear are crickets. My orders never arrive in three days or less, and my most recent order hasn’t shipped in 5 days. Who knows when or if it will ever arrive. Frankly, the time has come to look for a new supplier, I suggest you do the same.

Hi,
If you can send your name and email as it appears on your account to me at lindsayh@cigar.com, I will have someone call you today. There are a few reasons why an order doesn't ship quickly, and I want to make sure a Supervisor addresses the issue in case there's an error on our side.
Also, please be aware that carriers are still experiencing a lot of delays due to continued staffing issues; while I certainly apologize for the inconvenience, once UPS or USPS has your parcel, there is nothing anyone can do about the speed in which it moves through their respective systems. If it makes you feel any better, I work for CIGAR.com, live 3.5mi from where all packages and print materials are mailed, and lately thanks to USPS I sometimes don't get things quickly either.
Once again, apologies that you've had a less than satisfactory experience, but I would like to help right the wrongs.

I’m enjoying mine! Most orders are here in 1-2 days! And if I need anything, Lindsay has been great! I’ll continue with Ccom for sure! @TheCigarChick
Thank you! Hope all is well with you. Next time I'm out your way headed to the tobacco fields, we should grab a smoke.

I liked the $50 gift certificate at 1,000 points but now I believe I'm at 4,000+ points. When will another $50 offering be made available?
Since becoming a platinum member, years ago, my orders take longer to come in. The latest didn’t even ship until 3 days after the order. Now , four days after shipping, nothing. And the email hasn’t been updated. Looks like my Thanksgiving order will be filled locally. Darn it.

Hey there - Sorry you're having issues with your orders. To be clear, being a Platinum member doesn't mean your order gets filled faster by our warehouse - that only happens if you select an option like overnight shipping. If you've also placed an order on a Friday after 12pm EST or during a weekend, that would explain the delay in your order fulfillment, as we stopped shipping on weekends a year ago.
You said your most recent order shipped four days ago? If you send me your name and the email associated with your account to lindsayh@cigar.com, I can look into for you.

I have been a platinum member for the last year now and love it! i have picked up some great cigars and offers because of it. Thanks Cigar.com!
Isn't it great that a Platinum membership is part of their employee package?

Just hit Gold status after about 2 weeks, Platinum here I come! (as soon as I get extra humidors to store more cigars)
Cigars are great and so is this
Just remember the No.1 rule in life... you always know, until you don't.
Don't buy boxes of cheap cigars. You'll have humidors full of **** you won't smoke.
