That's a mail in rebate, for US residents only.

I just called Costco and there are no rebates of 50 dollars on the Acuvue lenses.
Acuvue 2 is 21.79/box and the others are as you have mentioned in your post.

Costco does have a $40 or $50 off coupon, if you buy 6 or 8 boxes. Can't remember which.
But their Toric versions are way too expensive, even if you include the coupon.

There is only a rebate on a YEARLY supply of Acuvue lenses from Costco as the original post mentioned.

i got into this deal like 2 months ago, and after a first attempt at the 50$ rebate, didnt work, went back, and now its on its way. For the price get the OASYS, trust me, i tried trial pairs of every single contact lense they had at costco, and the oasys, was like the cadillac of all, and for price i feel its fair
thanks costco

Does costco have an optician that helps you choose the right kind of lenses for you? Or do you have to know which lenses you want?
I have usually just let my optometrist tell me what kind of lenses I should use so I'm kind of confused about what kind of lenses to buy on my own.

I had Lasik eye surgery performed six years ago and I freed myself from the daily rituals of cleaning/replacing contacts. It pays for itself in the short run in just a few years.

True enough, however, the long term risks of laser surgery are unknown at this point with the technology still being relatively new and constantly evolving since it's inception during the mid 80s.
Unless your vision is really bad or the requirement is work related, I wouldn't risk it. Not everyone is a good candidate for the surgery either (depending on your cornea/pupil, diameter/circumfernce, ect.).
Numerous patients (who actually weren't good candidates for the surgery to begin with) still have their doctor LIE to them (just to get money) and then are stuck seeing halos at night for the rest of their life.

well halos only appear because the treatment area is too small for their pupils. i've got mine done last year and so far so good. Of course, you need to do some research before you get something like this done! Testimonials from personal friends is a must and ask them specifically about halos!

Stolen from another post:
www.visiondirect.com
coupon code, -15%: HOLIDAY15 (expires Jan 31)
An order of 8 boxes of Acuvue 2 lenses ends up being $98.26 USD = approx $113 CDN. There is also a $30 USD rebate, but I'm guessing it is for Americans only.
Costco costs $174.32 for 8 boxes Acuvue 2 (plus a $15 fitting fee if applicable to your location) - $50 rebate for a total of $124.32 (no fitting fee) or $139.32 (inc fitting fee)
Vision Direct seems to be $26.32 or $11.31 cheaper.
Acuvue advance and Oasys are currently not available to Canadians from this site.
Another poster confirmed that this site SHIPS FROM CANADA so no brokerage will be due. See THIS POST
Comments? In the past I have used Acuvue 2 so I am thinking of jumping on this deal from visiondirect.com

I went to the Calgary Costco last night and they said that the fitting was FREE, not $15 as someone reported earlier.
The problem with the fitting was that the first available booking was in MARCH! They said I couldn't buy contacts unless I had a fitting first. I'm just buying online.

i found previously with the exchange rate if you buy from coastalcontacts.com instead of clearlycontacts.ca you get a better deal. not sure how it would be now. when you order from the US site it still ships from their canadian warehouse.
