Recall of Hy-Care contact lens solution: I returned 8 bottles of solution. One which had been in use and seven u opened ones. These bottles of solution were all within their use by dates for months and months ahead. The serial numbers on the bottles were all on the advised list for recall of solution. A Virtual credit card loaded with a £12 refund was emailed to my address of [email protected] This amounts to a refund of £1.50 per bottle of solution. I am considerably out of pocket and extremely disappointed by this Company. I will never knowingly purchase anything from this Company again nor will recommend them.

Morag McGregor, EDINBURGH, UK.

I was emailed by SpecSavers to sort a recall on CooperVision's contact lens solution. I was given a link in the email to do this, which took me to a website. I followed the instructions on the site and it asked me to contact CooperVision directly to sort the bottle recall as my quantity of bottles was too high for the site. Upon calling them, they did answer very quickly to be fair, but the lady I spoke to became more and more rude and argumentative as the phonecall went on. She said I was 'wasting her time' when she had 'other callers waiting' and kept huffing and puffing. She said I had not followed the instructions on the site to check all the LOT numbers to see if they were part of the recall before I called her. I apologised and explained I had not read that anywhere so it must not be clear you have to do this. She said, 'NO, it is VERY clear!' (After the call I checked everywhere on the site - nowhere does it say this).

I organised the bottles into separate LOT numbers before reeling the numbers off to her (again, this expectation was not explained anywhere. I asked if there was a cut off date of manufacture at which they were due a recall to distinguish but apparently not, and I didn't know which deliveries of contacts were part of which LOT - why would I possibly be expected to know this information?!) When I gave her a LOT number and it turned out to not be part of the recall she would be audibly annoyed and say she had to delete it now. She kept deleting the wrong LOT numbers so we had to start all over again then blaming me, saying it was my fault for not checking first when it is so hard for them to delete them their end once they had inputted them. I offered to go on the site and check the LOT numbers first so I could make sure I was only giving her the current ones, but she said no, huffed, and hurried me on to the next number. Towards the end of the call, I asked her to clarify if I needed to send a picture of all 7 recalled bottles or just one bottle from each LOT number (so 3 total). She rudely said, 'you have not listened to what I said' - I was clarifying a point that wasn't made clear. She ended the call very curtly.

I am not someone who leaves complaints but I was so shocked by this lady that I felt it warranted it. At no point was I rude to her in any way, despite the way she spoke to me throughout the call. I called at 5.34pm after I got home from work and the call lasted 11 minutes all in. I do not think I took up much of this lady's time or deserved to be spoken to this way. You would think I had purposefully defied clear instructions and gone out my way to make this lady's day harder with how she acted.

In hindsight, I think she was worried that I would run past their closing time of 6pm or perhaps she had hoped to leave work early today and that was why she was in such a hurry to get the call over with.

If she has an issue with the system in place, she should suggest they provide a clear set of instructions on the website containing the steps needed to be taken before calling customer service, rather than taking her frustrations out on the customers who are none the wiser. If she is at her wits end about this happening all the time, she ought to be using logic to realise it is clearly not clear to customers how they can make her job a little bit easier.

I have completed the claim form online for a refund (after a letter from Boots Opticians) and have now been trying for two days to submit the form, all I can get is "error"

I phoned the contact no, and was told "try later" this is not good enough! I am not wanting a monetary cash refund, only a replacement of the solution. Please advise on what I can do next.

thank you

I had tucked away the rebate visa/letter and found it today, 3/1/22. The expiration date was yesterday, 2/22. I would like to know if I can get a replacement for the expired card as the $50 rebate was never used. The customer service number was of little help, They told me they dealt with hundreds of other products and plans and they could not help. I did try going to the web address on the back of the card and it kept directing me to walgreens or said I had been directed to the site by an unsecure engine. I am more than frustrated and would either like a replacement for my card or contacts to match the value of the rebate. Please assist. Thank you

Purchased these at my new eye doctor's recommendation. I'd always used B&L. Dr said there was a hefty rebate. I liked the contacts but navigating the rebate is a total time consuming HOAX! The portal will not allow you to file your claim. Reviews said the usual issue is getting the correct store location. I had no issues with that. I got to the end and the portal would not file the rebate. I called and was on hold so many times, for so long! The person answering the phone was quite kind but admitted they experience issues with their rebate navigation. I called my eye doctor's office. They were not able to help. Im now attempting to mail in the paperwork, keeping in mind they require ORIGINALS, AND I have made an appt w to go in to my Dr office for them to do the online rebate with me. Hopefully, they will come up with a resolution. BTW, online reviews of CooperVision rebates is not positive. Bausch and Lomb, Im coming back to you and your integrity. I never should have cheated on you!

I was saving the rebate card for a special occasion and when my husband lost his job I decided to use it and it was denied for being expired. I saw from another review on here that the expired card could be replaced so I contacted and they said after 60 days that Cooper vision just keeps the money.

It's been 70 days past and am surprised of what I was told given the result of a complaint posted below.

I got a Visa prepaid card but I did try to use it many times before it expired.
I have many times tried to call the number with not being able to get through.
I feel I should not have an expired card after spending all that money on the contact lenses.
Visa cards should not have a expiration date.
Can you please contact me so we can get the money I deserve from coopervison.

I have tried for the last 2 weeks to log in to the Cooper vision promotion website it requires email verification and I have clicked the link to send to my email and the email never comes. I reached out to customer services last week they said to give it a couple of days which I did and still I never received an email. The promotional code is only good for a period of time and at this rate my assumption is the time will expire prior to the website working and Cooper vision likely won't honor the rebate then.

Hello I received a $50 rebate card from purchasing my contacts and lost it not long after receiving it. (I know completely my fault!) I just currently found the card but it's expired in July of this year so I was upset that it's not good for very long. I feel like it should be like a normal debit/credit card where they are good for at least 3-5 years. I was just wondering if you guys do a replacement card?

Hi,

My CooperVision Visa rebate card expired after only a ridiculous 4 months. Now to have it reissued there are reissue fees of $10 AND a monthly maintenance fees of $2, 95.

I understand that these cards endup being to the benefit of your issuing cards partner and I consider this a money scam.

I would suggest that this program is modified so I get a rebate code on my next contacts purchase.

Best regards, FN

Ho deciso di scrivere poiché son solito acquistare dal mio ottitico di "fiducia" lenti a contatto proclear toric, mi hanno sempre dato problemi relativamente alla loro rottura. Dell'ultima confezione di 3 acquistata, una si è quasi tagliata in due dalle lineette, l'altra dopo soli 4 giorni nel momento in cui l'ho tolta ho notato che era sbeccata e non ho trovato il frammento mancante nell'occhio.
Ho atteso troppo, cambierò ottico e marca.

I am very upset the card expired so quickly - after only four months of expiration date that I am shocked to even see it has an expiration date.
To top the problem it can't be even reissued anymore.
I was waiting for a vacation to use the card to pay for some of my expenses, but to my surprise it was expired.
This is a big disappointment from a company I used to buy my contacts.
Is this even legal to offer a refund and then just cancel it?

PS: I did call the 1-866-230-3809 number and they refereed me to their web, which I submitted my info to: Coopervisioncardstatus.com.

I recently found my rebate card that I thought I had lost and it is now expired...I am disappointed that there is an expiration date on the card. If I bought the lenses and received the card, I should be able to use it anytime...with no expiration date. Please reissue me a new card. I did email the company and did not receive any contact back. I would appreciate a resolution to this with the issuing of a new rebate card.

Here's another example of an expired gift card. New York law, where CooperVisions address is listed, prohibits gift cards from expiring within 5 years of issue but CooperVision said "nah, 6 months is good." I can see I'm not the only one who has had this issue and makes me question their overall practice of these rebates. It's small things like this that would make me switch contact brand all together.

I order a supply of contact lenses routinely through my eye doctor. I have never had an issue and I have used Cooper Vision Brand for the last several years. Recently I opened a fresh pair of daily contacts and one appeared to be defective. It was like the top of the circle had been sliced off. I don't know what would have happened to my eye if I had inserted it. I am glad I noticed it. Contact lenses are supposed to be round for a reason. I filed a complaint to CooperVision on May 19 and my report was acknowledged. I was told the Consumer Care Department would follow up. They never did. I couldn't even find a Consumer Care Dept on their website.

I misplaced my rebate card from Coopervision. When I found it, it had expired after only six months.
I contacted Coopervision and asked them to reactivate or reissue the card. They refused.
I think the short amount of time the card is valid is not an acceptable policy and is misleading. It seems like a way for the company to get out of paying the funds promised.

I received a rebate visa card for $65. I lost it and found it after it expired but I called in and was told there was a balance of $35 left on it that they would mail a new card to me. After a few weeks I hadn't received it so I called in again and I was told it should arrive soon. I waited a few more weeks to call again and since over a month passed from my initial order customer service decided to place another order for me but unfortunately I never received that either.

Now in 2020 due to the pandemic I've had time to look through my things and found the old expired rebate card that was never used and never replaced.

I feel like I was cheated out of my money. I had to spend hundreds of dollars to earn this rebate card. Hundred of dollars I would have never committed to without the promise of getting some of it back.

I would like an investigation opened into why I never received my replacement card. I would also like to finally receive my replacement card with the funds I am owed.

Getting the card took months of going back and forth. When I finally received it, I didn't know that I needed to register it. I got busy and when I was going to use it, it has expired 3 days ago. It looks like I am out of $130 because when I went to register it, there are terms that state that you can replace it for $7 but it can't be expired which is different than what I have read otherwise. They said the card expires but not the funds.

I would like to know why milk is $0.99 a gallon in Owensboro, ky and $ 5.00 in tarentum, pa and $2.27 in spring branch Texas. I feel this is price gouging in Pennsylvania. I am very disappointed in Walmart. families are struggling to make ends meet and Walmart should recognize that. How can you help change this and make your, pricing more consistent across the United States

Purchased a year's supply of CooperVision Biofinity Multifocal contacts on 8/4/20 at the Target Optical AKA Happy Eyes at 400 Marsh Landing Pkwy, Jacksonville Beach FL 32250. Filled out and submitted all the paperwork to receive the $50 rebate. Forgot about it until today, checked online for rebate reference number UY9CLD66LH and discovered the entire rebate had been donated to the charity "Optometry Giving Sight." This was done without my permission and I am requesting the return of the $50 to me asap. I know I did not authorize this because before I donate to a charity I research them at GuideStar and online. I did not do this and the charity donation was made without my permission. Please investigate, rectify and return $50 USD to me as soon as possible.
