My code doesn’t allow me to redeem the Buy-Up sunglass options. How do I redeem one of those styles?
-
The sunglass selections that are available for redemption depend on the type of insurance plan selected by your employer. If you are interested in the Buy-Up sunglass options and are not able to redeem them, let your employer know of your interest and they will have an opportunity to update their plan option when the insurance plan renews. If you are on an Individual insurance plan, the Buy-Up option is not available.
