7/12/24 Second set of contacts delivered since first order was damaged. Started filling out for $200 rebate on phone. Paid $864.96 and $60 for exam.Took a break, after uploading something was wrong. Tried next day. Tried again something was wrong, can't complete. Invalid code. Called customer service, 45 min hold, my phone doesn't work for rebate. So now I need a different phone?What? I don't have a computer. Mail it in? So you loose it or claim you never received it?Email, no response. This company is not accredited. I just want my rebate and my daughter wanted to see. This is awful.Business response

After an eye exam at my optometrist I inquired about purchasing RayBan daily contacts. I was told that there was a rebate for a years supply. I spent over $500 on contacts and was told once I received them I could fill out a form and receive a $220 rebate, which would come in the form of a **** gift card. I filled out the online form, which took a long time. Then in the last step I was told my purchase did not qualify for a rebate. It does. I have the form. When I called Cooper Vision I got a message that said they are aware of a problem with their online rebate form. I am a working mother of two young kids. I cant continually check on this company and if the rebate form is back up again. Ive called every day and Ive gotten the same message. After 60 days, I wont be eligible for the rebate. I am worried that this is a scam.Business response

I submitted a rebate claim for a $218 contact lens purchase this year. The rebate was for $100 and submitted on May 4, 2024. At the time of submitting the reimbursement claim, the online form asked if I would like to donate a portion of the reimbursement to a charity fund, which I answered no, as I needed my $100, so I definitely responded no to this question. After reaching out several times to their customer service center, **************, and learning of the status of my claim, I was given various responses on status as the claim progressed, until finally being told It was approved and to wait 5 days until the reimbursement would hit my email. Today, 6/7/24, when I happened to look again in my email and seeing nothing was there, anywhere, I contacted customer service, who advised me that my rebate was donated. WTH? So, of course, at this point I'm absolutely livid and feel completely bamboozled and scammed. I never opted to donate my reimbursement so clearly, they have the capability to alter a claim in their system, which is horribly dishonest. The customer service rep was extremely dismissive and refused to let me speak with a manager about these concerns. It goes without saying, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE CONTACTS FROM THIS BRAND EVER AGAIN!! EXTREMELY SCANDALOUS COMPANY!Business response

Hello, we apologize for the confusion. There is an option to choose to have your refund donated. We did find your refund, and it will be re-processed today and sent to you. The amount we see though is $60, not $100. If you have any other questions, please reach out to CooperVision directly, ************. Thank you.Initial Complaint

CopperVision provides rebates for certain of its products. I completed the form, submitted all required paperwork. My claim was denied because there were two different addresses on my proof of visit documentation; one for the clinic location and one for another affiliated entity. Even though I purchased the correct product and amount and even though I showed I paid for that product, they denied my claim without notice or opportunity to cure. When I called for an explanation, I was told that even though the documentation contained all of the correct information I was supposed to use the second address and it was now too late and I couldnt resubmit or correct my claim.Business response

This company has some sort of rebate scam going on. They make you pay full price for their contact lenses and then promise to give a rebate. In my case, it was $60. The issue is they have it structured in a way for the customer to forget and not be able to claim it. I've got my contact lenses in July. I paid for them and waited for an email to come for me to claim the rebate. The email never came. I went to their website where I put in a lot of information. This process is designed to waste the customer's time as much as possible. They said that I'd receive an email to finally claim the rebate. The email never came in. I finally remembered yesterday June 4th because I needed to schedule my yearly eye exam. I went to the website only for me to realize that they issued the payment in their own version of a gift card that is not easily transferrable, and my expiration date has passed. I called customer service. They did not want to extend the expiration dates. I had to go back and forth with them but now I still have to allow 2-5 business days for me to be able to get my money back. I need the Better Business Bureau to please investigate this.Business response

CooperVision Rebates NWCV-1HF24 National New Wearer Rebate Option 1 Rebate reference # U4KQPNYSP4 I was scammed under a bait and switch. I paid and met all of the conditions for contact lenses from CooperVision, and based off their flyer (and fine print and terms and conditions at the time of submission) I should have been due up to a $200 rebate for ordering a year supply of MyDay Dailies or my final total of $190. I was informed by my eye care provider and reviewed the CooperVision document and terms and agreed I qualified for the rebate.I submitted my rebate information with all the required documentation required by CooperVision on February 5, 2024 and did not receive any email after the initial confirmation. Since it was indicated it could take more than 6 weeks for approval and rebates to be sent out, I went about my business.Recently not hearing anything I checked my status and saw my rebate was denied. This was surprise because I met all requirements, submitted all documentation and was informed by my eye care professional I qualified.When I called, the bait and switch revealed itself. There are additional terms for denial that weren't shared with me throughout the process. They said I didn't spend enough to qualify for the rebate, where the overall total amount was not designated within the submission paperwork. This seems like an attempt to deny any claim they can for people who buy with the rebate as incentive.This is not is what presented at the time of purchase as incentive to buy the CooperVision brand only to find out months later that the rug has been pulled out.BUYER BEWARE - REBATE SCAM!Business response

This company does not answer their phone, return calls, answer messages, or emails promptly, if at all. As their business regards medical supplies, communication is critical. They also do not provide invoices when requested and will not provide any additional information/line items in their payment portal. They expect you to pay a determined amount with no evidence, and when a line item receipt/invoice is requested they cannot/will not provide.Business response

I purchased CooperVision contact lenses for $1,184 on May 2023 and submitted for $200.00 rebate through Cooper Vision. I received a virtual debit card for $200 and have not used any of the balance on the card. On April 9, 2024 I noticed that the virtual debit card expired Jan 31, 2024 which only gave me 6 months to use it. According to the Credit Card Act, expiration date should not be less than 5 years even though the virtual card issued to me expired within 6 months. I was not able to use this card and tried to contact CooperVision multiple times and received no assistance with receiving a new replaced card for the balance of $200.Business response

Went to Vision Works on March 8, 2023. Purchased contact lens for $573.00. Submitted for $200.00 rebate through Cooper Vision. Received ************ debit card for $200.00. Did not use card yet. On February 23, 2024 I discovered the card had an expiration date of 10/23 (6 months after activation). Per the **** credit CARD Act this card should not expired for 5 years from activation, however the card has an expiration date of 10/23 (6 months after issue). The card was not used yet but has expired. After multiple phone calls to Cooper Vision and ************ no one will replace the bank-issued debit card with a new expiration date even though they are violating Federal Law.Business response
