I haven't tried it yet, so we will see. Each company might be different. I know that many companies will still give you a rebate even if you didn't pay anything. I will let you know what I find out!

Hi Rachel! I got to thinking after I asked you while you were in Walgreens what you got at CVS that I would find out when I read your blog! Next time, someone asks you, tell them to read you blog! More advertising! Anyway, I have a question. Do you think you will receive your rebate for the monitor? Have you received monitor rebates after paying $0 at the register? I tried this when I first started with the Contour monitors and receive a nice letter that since I had paid nothing, I was not eligible for the rebate. Just wanted to get your thoughts and comments. Thanks.
