Buying contacts is not exactly a thrill ride. But getting money back in the mail? That’s at least a tiny dopamine hit.

1-800 Contacts makes rebates surprisingly painless with their “One-and-Done Rebates” program. Translation: no hunting down mystery forms before checkout, no decoding tiny-print instructions mid-purchase. Once your order ships, they email you a direct link to print your rebate form. Easy.

Shop now if you already know you need lenses. You’re going to buy them anyway. You might as well get a rebate.

Here’s how it works:

• After your order ships, you receive a link to the rebate page.
• Print and complete the rebate form.
• Mail it to the Rebate Processing Center in Sandy, Utah.
• Receive your rebate as a pre-paid Visa card by mail. Allow 6 to 8 weeks.

Timing matters. If you place your order between January 1 and June 30, your rebate form must be postmarked by July 28. If you order between July 1 and December 31, your form must be postmarked by January 28. Miss that window and your rebate goes poof.

Rebates are valid for U.S. residents only, limit one submission per offer per order, and they cannot be combined with insurance benefits. Manufacturer rebates are excluded. You can combine with other offers in most cases, but review their Best Price Guarantee terms if stacking is your sport.

If you personally file for insurance reimbursement, your claim should be reduced by the value of the rebate. Yes, they thought of that.

Grab the deal before it’s gone, print the form on time, and let future-you enjoy that prepaid Visa card. Because full price for contacts? Hard pass.

Tap to save and don’t forget to mail it in.
