Costco Contacts Rebate in 12 Days
I bought the contacts on April 9th, submitted the electronic rebate on April 12th (I waited until I received all the boxes), the $30 rebate arrived in the mail on the 24th. Costco’s electronic rebate arrived twelve days after I submitted it so not only did I get the cheapest price on 8 boxes of Acuvue 2’s, I didn’t even have fight with the rebate company (i.e. waiting on hold for 4 hours) trying to screw me. I didn’t have to clip boxtops, I didn’t have to photocopy forms, and I didn’t even have to waste a stamp mailing the junk. A rebate in twelve days is simply amazing. That’s why I love Costco.

Here’s an even crazier idea they could try, skip the rebate bull*&^%. By not giving you the discount instantly they are knowingly trying to rip you off.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Costco did skip the rebate bull*&^%. You see… The rebates offered by contact lens manufacturers are a direct result of a Contact Lens Antitrust Case settlement. Costco made it easier for their members to receive their settlement by making the rebates available @Costco.com, rather than enduring the hassles of boxtops, photocopies, stamps and getting screwed.
