Lowe's Military Discount

[downsizingnow48]

Since Lowe's started the all-the-time, all-the-stuff 10% discount that is the only big store I go to. This morning I went to the two closest, chasing floor tile. Couple of things I noticed. Both now have designated veteran parking. A nice gesture I thought. Then inside, it used to be on checkout you just give a phone number and that plugs in the discount. This morning the lady asked for ID as well. She says there was rampant cheating, whereby a veteran would give their phone number to a bunch of other people so they could also get the 10% discount. Asking for ID ensures that you are the actual veteran. I guess that might have been predicted.

All the vets working at my local Lowes are wearing camouflage vests so you can see who they are.

Not a problem, I don't mind showing my ID. My bank also has a veteran parking spot. A little late for us old guys but I am glad the country is finally showing some appreciation for those that served

Yes exactly

Often wondered about that. I always show them my ID when I give them my phone number. I don't have a problem with that. Home Depot will just ask for your ID...glad they honor the ID everyday ! Yes...I have noticed that Lowes has reserved veteran parking. I park elsewhere as some other veteran may have a hard time walking to the store.

You give a vet a break and then they ruin it for themselves and others. Yep, that's the military I know.

I haven't been doing the phone number thing, there or anywhere. Using the MyLowes card does it all in one step. I do not use the parking though. I'm able to walk fine, so I do.

Haven't had any veteran verification issues at my Lowes, I just tell them my phone number.
I rarely go to Home Depot anymore because I don't know what qualifies for a veterans 10% discount until I cash out. Too often I didn't get a discount at Home Depot.

NOTHING that has to be ordered qualifies for the discount at Home Depot,,,

Home Depot lost the sale of my Milwaukee 18V chain saw because of the "no online discount" policy,,,

I have been a Lowes regular since finding out about the discount,, over a year,, :cool2:

MA licenses also are designated “Veteran” if you,show them DD214 as well.
