If you spend hundreds of dollars on contact lenses annually, you may want to look into contact lens rebates. Rebates are a great way to save money on contacts, especially if you rely on them for vision correction.
In this article, you will learn everything there is to know about contact lens rebates, how they work at Lens.com, and how Lens.com compares to other online retailers that have rebate offers.
What are contact lens rebates?
Contact lens rebates are savings opportunities included with orders for many popular contact lens brands. They’re one of the best ways to save money and get cheap contacts.
Many contact lens brands offer rebates for purchases through online retailers, such as Lens.com. Offering customers rebates gives them an incentive to buy a certain amount of contact lenses. As such, rebates are beneficial for those who frequently buy contacts.
Rebates shouldn’t be confused with discounts and refunds. Discounts are price reductions offered by retailers to their customers upon checkout. On the other hand, refunds are funds paid back to customers who are not satisfied with what they bought and have returned the goods.
Which contact lens brands have rebate offers?
Many popular contact lens brands have rebate offers, including:
- Acuvue
- Air Optix
- Biofinity
- Clariti
- Dailies
- SofLens
Lens.com offers unbeaten rebates on these brands and more. Note that rebates differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and retailer to retailer. Manufacturer rebates typically run for three to six months, while online deals change more frequently throughout the year. This is true for rebate offers from most online retailers, including Lens.com.
How do rebates work at Lens.com?
If your Lens.com order qualifies for a rebate, you should see a message in your cart that tells you the face value of the rebate and how much you’ll be saving once you’ve redeemed the rebate.
To redeem rebates from Lens.com:
- Order a contact lens that qualifies for a rebate. Make sure the quantity you purchased reaches the specified requirement.
- After your order has been shipped, access the Rebate Center on Lens.com to print the rebate form.
- Fill out the form and mail it to Lens.com no later than twelve (12) weeks after the date your order was shipped. You will find Lens.com’s mailing address on the rebate form.
- Allow 12+ weeks for processing. Rebates take a while to process because doing so involves multiple steps, including fraud prevention, verification, and third-party Visa card issuance and mailing.
- Once the rebate paperwork has been processed, expect a Visa Prepaid Card to arrive in the mail.
