Home Depot veteran discount expanded.

[Gale Hawkins]

Not sure if this is a change or not ....

The Military Discount can only be applied to eligible purchases. It applies to most full-price products.

It cannot be used on any sale item or with any other discount (such as, but not limited to, Lowe’s Price Promise, Lowe’s Credit 5% off Everyday Discount, volume or special pricing programs, and manager discretion price adjustments). It cannot be applied to major appliances (including related accessories and parts), commodities (such as, but not limited to, electrical cable, electrical wire, dimensional lumber, plywood, and OSB), gift cards, previous purchases, fees, installations (sold separately or as part of a bundle comprising both product and services), or any other services (such as, but not limited to, rentals, labor, delivery, shipping, extended protection plans).
Additional exclusions may apply. See store for details.

Thanks

I just got the email from Lowes telling me of the new restrictions to the Military 10% discount.

Lowes was real easy to get the military discount, but HD was more effort then it was worth, so I mostly shop at Lowes.

I have exactly the opposite opinion but I do shop at both depending on which direction I travel that day because Lowes is 45 minutes one cardinal direction and Home Depot is 45 minutes exactly the opposite direction. I do prefer Milwaukee power tools and husky hand tools so that tips it to HD for tool purchases.

Yep. Having it apply automatically *and* be used on sale or clearance items is what makes HD's better. Lowes has started offering the 10% year round, but you still need to go in store and not every manager knows how to/wants to do it.

At Lowes you have to register at customer service then they just pull you up with phone number.

Where can we read the list of restrictions?

Can the Military Discount Be Used for On-Sale Items?​

The Military Discount can only be applied to eligible purchases. You can't apply it to on-sale items or with any other discount. It can’t be used on any services, major appliances and related accessories and parts, commodities (such as, but not limited to, electrical cable, electrical wire, dimensional lumber, plywood, and OSB) or gift cards. See above or terms for more exclusions.

As I said above, HD's is still better. Lowe's wont allow it to be used on sale items.

Just as the FAQs say, I need to show ID every time, and at my store, also need to actually ask for it.. every time. There have been times the manager on duty has denied it too.

Do you have a MyLowes card? Do you have the discount registered to it?

All I do is have them scan the card and it's applied automatically. No asking anyone anything. It's also applied at checkout when ordering on the site.

8-9yrs ago I built an entire cabin, in my area, Lowe's always honored 10% off with no limits or exclusions on anything I bought from them all day everyday including special order trusses. Not any more though. From experience HD always had a host of exclusions but honored it for millwork. Also have used Menards 11% store rebates which are available to all.

Not that I know of. Just tell them my phone # then they verify I'm s2s on my mil ID.

Lowe's uses my phone number these days after I filled out ID me on the web. Hd still uses and accepts my V.A. Id. Any vet can get one or you can bring a copy of your dd214 if it's handy. Both stores honored there 10% discounts on applicable purchases if you ask for it for at least 15 yrs with nonspecific dates around me.
