In the ad, it says it is on-sale for $14.99. There is a $14.99 MIR form in the package, making it free (and also a great way to burn up some RR's!). Above it, it also says there is a $10 Register Reward for purchasing it!

[Walgreens101]

On the bottom it says it's only available only to uninsured patients so I think the RR would print but you wouldn't get the mail in rebate, so you'd be spending $4.99 for it.

Can anyone confirm this

[thestork7]

I don't have insurance, so I should get the rebate I think? The RR should definitely print...the catalina machine isn't going to know if you have insurance or not .

[frances311]

I bought one, the register reward printed. No question about insurance. Has anyone opened to see rebate terms?

[bnorris10]

I opened it and all the rebate card wants is your info plus model # off back of monitor which also is the 11 digit number on the bottom of the box and then they want the receipt

the walgreens ad says $10 register reward for it and also mentions the MIR for it gonna mail mine off


I dont understand how they will know if you do have insurance anyways either way i got mine

[thestork7]

I'm gonna get one my next trip. If I don't get the rebate, I'll just throw the monitor up on ebay and make my $5 back.

[sicily01]

Does rebate state a limit ? this would great to donate with all the free one touch lancers I have been getting !

[thestork7]

It's almost always one per household. You could always try using a friend's address or a work address, if you wanted.

[sicily01]

Some are limit 3 or 4 , I would rather just use my own address I remember the Kellogg gas card rebate was 5 per house !

[NotSoKrazy]

I'm glad someone else brought this up, I had kind of forgotten about it after I sent in for my rebate.

I really don't think I'll get it though, because it says, "Total of rebate amount not to exceed purchase price (after coupons) of care kit plus tax."

I also burned up RR buying this thing, and I only spent $5.72 OOP for that whole purchase, and I had other items. Since the RR shows up on the receipt as manufacturer coupons, and it stipulated 'price after coupons.' I really don't know.

I just circled the monitor on the itemized list showing I paid $14.99 and we'll see what happens, but honestly I think I won't get the rebate just because I used old RR to pay for it. We'll see.

[ephobe]

i used RR to pay for mine too. I'm going to mail it in just to see what they send me.

I was able to find a coupon for $5 off the monitor so it was FARR for me.

[Qpony]

I am getting mine ready to send off and am now concerned about the "after coupons" thing.

My total was $2.22 after everything. I called the number and the woman said she didn't know but gave me numbers for Rebate questions, but of course they're closed now.

Its a shame that RR ring up as coupons because they're not. Had I known this might be an issue I would have saved them for another item.

The numbers she gave me are:
1-800-933-3032
1-888-385-5643

I remember reading on another website that at walgreens you can get a rebate receipt. From my understanding these receipts do not show coupons only shows how much you brought the idea for. I think you might be able to take the item back and get this special receipt.

That's great to hear, I was thinking about going back and talking to the manager and seeing if they would do something like that but now that you posted this I have more courage to do so, .
Thanks

[Qpony]

I just got off the phone with the rebate people and they said I would only get a rebate for what I paid "out of pocket". So I lost about $12 in RR, $15 if they don't reimburse me for tax which I'm guessing they don't.)

So I guess now I see if walgreens will let me return the item.

ETA: I tried to explain to her that I did not use a coupon for the product itself and that I could have used the Register Rewards for other things but she said it doesn't matter.

[Rlkitson]

Going to try to get a rebate receipt! I hope they can do it retroactively.

[sicily01]

Maybe try just exchanging it for the same item , so another receipt will print for the exchange ..might work

[NotSoKrazy]

AWW bummer. I wasted a lot of RR too, I might get like $5 back from them but that's it. Since I already opened the package and took out the rebate info and sent it in I can't return the monitor. If I do get my $5 back I broke even, making it free.

That's okay though really, my mother is a diabetic and she found someone who needed a new monitor at her diabetes management class. It's going to a good place, hopefully I won't end up paying anything for the monitor, and it was a good lesson for all of us to watch those RRs on MIR offers.

[Qpony]

If I was going to get back $5 I would send it in since I did get $10 RR back from buying it.
But... my total before tax was .83. . Just not worth the trouble really.

[thestork7]

Just return it if you haven't opened it. Free $10 RR.

[Rlkitson]

EDIT: Googled and answered my own question. Still going to try to get the rebate receipt first!

If the meter is returned, the RR earned should also be turned in to get the full refund price. Otherwise, the store may subtract $10 and give 4.99 plus tax, if any. This is fair to both store and customer.

[thestork7]

That's at the manager's discretion. Whatever they say goes, I guess.

I did the Accu-check rebate a couple months ago, had a $0.48 subtotal...and still got the $15 rebate. So, not sure if this will work or not.

[mochamomof5]

My question is, are there actual Aviva coupons floating around out there? If not, then the company shouldn't refuse to refund the full price if a valid Aviva coupon wasn't used on the product (and doesn't exist). For example, if I buy this meter and a bunch of crest toothpaste, and I used $14 worth of Crest qs, then why should I not be fully rebated? Those $14 in qs will be reimbursed to the store by Crest/P&G, NOT Aviva, so it doesn't make any sense for Aviva to penalize the consumer.

I'm sorry for the rant , but after reading some of the posts about possibly not getting the full rebate, it bothers me and it doesn't seem right. I actually bought the meter for my aunt (elderly woman, poor insurance, host of medical problems) and purchased some other RR generating items in the same transaction which was about $33, but i got back some jingle bucks and $11in RR. My receipt reads $5 in manufacturer coupons. I'm hoping that the Aviva people don't deduct it from the purchase price.

Read the fine print on your RRs. It clearly says "register reward must be forfeited if qualifying item is returned". So it shouldn't be up to manager's discretion, it just should not be done. I'm not trying to be the coupon police and I am saying this gently. There is just no tone on the internet .

I don't buy meters anymore because I tried to get some rebates in the past on free ones from cvs and I was denied the rebate.
