CVS ~ Question: cvs- is there a MoneyMaker on Contour/Breeze 2 Diabetic Monitor? ~ 11/09

[amartin82]

Am I right in thinking that we can use the 'up to $30 off' coupon for Contour or Breeze 2 Diabetic monitors that are on sale at CVS for $14.99 this week with a $14.99 MIR? I could go for a $15 MM. Anyone ever do these before? If you send your receipt in that shows you used the coupon, do they still give a rebate?

Thanks!

You can use the coupon to get the Contour for free, but you won't be able to get the MIR. It will be denied.

Like the PP said, they'll reject your MIR when they see you've used a manuf. Q to get it for free. I've had it happen personally.

As PP have said, you cannot use the cpn in that manner. However, every so often, CVS will have the meters on sale for either 14.99 or 19.99 with a 5 ECB. When this happens, you can use the cpn to get the meter for free PLUS the 5 ecb will print out at the end of the transaction, making this transaction a moneymaker. This is why these cpns are usually highly in demand.

We agree ~ rebate = no go.

But Walgreens has the Bayer "buy $20 get $5" right now so you could get 2 and use 2 free coupons and get the $5 RR.

I don't have an excess of coupons and the going rate seems to be $.50 so it would be a $4 MM for me.

it kind of wastes a stamp to ask bayer to send a check for $0.00, and some places then won't accept the box because it was opened to get the upc.

bayer put out the coupon, and they are reasonably smart people.

i think there also might be a spot where you fill in how much you paid, so you would write $14.99-$14.99, which is zero.

I have a dumb question.....On the contour coupon it says diabetes patients only and to use at the pharmacy...so can just anyone use it or does that mean you need a prescription or something??

Diabetic patients only should actually use the machine and the meters can only be found usually in the pharmacy department.

You do not need a RX for the meter itself.
