I just received a free freestyle lite through the post after filling in a form on the abbott website. They have an envelope and pre paid stuff to send my existing one back Aviva. But I want to keep it, I assume I can keep it and not send it back? As. Want to keep it in the car?

It does not say anywhere I have to and no terms that I can see, will I get charged if I keep it and not return old one?
 
Tell them you sent it.....the amount of things that go missing in the mail is shocking!

But I suspect they wouldn't chase you for it anyway. MH got a free wire from them so that he can upload his BG readings from the meter to his 'puter.

They sent me one of those too so I rang them up as like you I wanted to keep my old one as a spare. When I explained this to the lady she said well you won't get prescribed test strips for two different kinds of meters so you want two the same. Send your old one back and we will send you another free Freestyle Lite so you have a spare that uses the same test strips for your prescription! I did that and sure enough got a second one (good job when one decided to 'eat' a battery within a few days and went kerpput!!)
They are ever so helpful if you give them a call so I'm sure it would be best just to have a chat and explain your decision, they have sent you a complimentary meter after all.
