| | | dLife had some other "freebie offers", including a home A1c test (posted in the Chit-Chat forum, see the Freebies sticky post at the top), and at least 3 months have gone by, and I've seen nothing from them.
I suppose they probably got more offers than Abbott is willing to send out.
I did see the Freestyle Lite for $38 at Walmart, with a $40 mail-in-rebate inside the box. |

If anyone would like the coupon that I got for this meter , I will mail it out. Abott meters are not the peferred ones with my insurance, so I am not going to buy strips just to try this one.
Just pm me and let me know. |

| | | I stuck the thread so it won't disappear, but if the offer ends, then I'll unstick it.
I have to be honest in that I'm a little put off that companies are now giving coupons instead of meters....seems a little cheesy to me. Most of the money is made on strips anyhow, so giving some meters away to get people interested would only seem more helpful to the company...who knows why they've resorted to doing it this way, though.
That said, I Still haven't received Anything & I initially "put in" for it in September.

Send me a free meter in the mail with enough, at least 25 strips so that I can try it a day or two and I may switch to your product. Going to the pharmacy to get the free meter and possibly needing a script to get it is to much trouble. Most of my test strips come mail order, so I am not making a special trip just for this. Gas costs to much right now. |

| | | I agree -- getting coupons that require a doctor's prescription causes me to rarely redeem it because I usually don't remember to ask for one. I usually only get them for the 10 free strips, and once those are gone, the batteries get placed in another meter.
Speaking of batteries, I heard a commercial for Duracell that combined Accu-chek meters. The commercial announcer said, "And when people rely on their meter 3 to 4 times a day, they need a battery you can depend on...."
The way the commercial said it didn't make sense. It should have been "10 times a day" ... now people who hear the commercial think that all diabetics only test 3 to 4 times a day. That's hardly enough strips to get me through the morning. |

| |  Cvs
I used the coupon at CVS with a "$25 for New/Transferred Prescription" coupon attached. They gave me a $25 CVS gift card to carry the meter out of the store!  |
