so how long does it take for the meters to ship to your house? I ordered one the day after I received 50 freestyle lite strips. Luckily I had a freestyle lite meter to use the strips.

Same thing happened to me. Received strips, but no meter. They probably ran out of meters--but strips are the most expensive part!

I know that I received the strips, both sets of 50 a few weeks before I received the unit. The strips they fed ex'd to me a couple of days after I completed each survey. The meter was sent regular mail after I filled in the entry I found here on another thread. Hopefully your meters are on the way. Also I'm not sure why, but a few weeks after I received the freedom lite abbott sent me a smaller lite unit [the one with the backlight].

Maybe it will show up later.

I received an "Invalid Campaign" error when clicking on the link. The freebie boards might have picked up on it and killed the deal. Do'h!

I think the promotion ended. I went to the first post about this and this is the message I found.

We're Sorry

I am sure they will have a promotion again soon Jason.

The local Abbott rep just stopped over at our store and dropped a case of Lite's and Freedom Lite's (12 meter's in all) as well as a case of sample strips (#10 strips per box). I was under the impression that I could get more if I wanted.

Since the internet has a much larger audience than our little store out here in the sticks I could see Abbott stopping after a while. If you're looking for a meter you might want to try your local pharmacy.

She also dropped off some $50/mo cards for those with insurance and cash customers. My understanding is: there is a $15 co-pay (?) so if you are a cash customer and you buy 1 box at $50 you’ll have to pay $15. If you buy a box at $100 you’ll have to pay $50. This is suppose to be good for 18 months(?) If you have insurance you have to run it thru your primary insurance and this card will be used as a secondary to cover what the primary doesn’t cover. Clear as mud? None of this is written down so I’m trying to remember what she said exactly. I apologize if I got part of it wrong but it sounds correct.

I got a letter saying that the 3 week trial was up. I went to the website to no avail. The phone number didn't work either, so I called customer service and they're sending me a free meter (that I put in numerous orders for and still didn't get one) and the 50 strips with overnight delivery. I still have bunches of regular freestyle strips with the first freedom meter. I still haven't opened the first box of 50 strips.
