any deals on free ultra mini?

anyone know how to get a free ultra mini? I'd love a purple or pink one, but don't see any free offers currently. I'm debating on whether or not to get one off ebay.

There was one on Health Central where they mail you a coupon. Might look there.

One Touch is the stingiest company with their meters. I know when they had the promotion it took me several months to get my meter. I had a coupon from Healthy Outcomes for another one that I have never received. When I lost my mini asked if there was any way to get another and they said no. Most companies give them away like candy knowing we will pay a lot for the strips, but for whatever reason they do not have this philosophy. If they didnt have the UltraSmart, I would have stopped trying to deal with them a long time ago.

You can always try calling, but even if you get a free one, be prepared to wait.
