Contact lens rebates
In 1972, a Stanford psychologist conducted the famous marshmallow test. The test studied delayed gratification by giving children two options:
- Eat one marshmallow right away (tempting, for sure).
- Wait a bit for an even better reward of two marshmallows.
If an instant contact lens discount is akin to the one-marshmallow option, contact lens rebates are like waiting a bit for a two-marshmallow reward. Rebates enable us to give you greater, tastier savings than we could with instant discounts alone.
So, what are contact lens rebates? How do rebates work at 1-800 Contacts? And which brands have rebate offers? Great questions. Read on.
What are contact lens rebates?
Contact lens rebates are special savings opportunities included with bulk orders for many popular contacts brands. Example: At the time of posting this, we give a $45 mail-in rebate to customers who order a year supply of monthly Biofinity Toric(r) lenses. For daily and biweekly contacts, we often offer rebates for both six-month-supply and year-supply orders.
How do rebates work at 1-800 Contacts?
If your 1-800 Contacts order qualifies for a rebate, you'll see a message in your cart that tells you how much you'll be saving after you've redeemed the rebate. Once we ship your order, we'll send you a little link to our rebates webpage so you can print your rebate form. You'll then mail us your completed rebate form and wait six to eight weeks for a check in the mail! You can use that time to decide what to do with your sweet, sweet savings.
