HD Mil/Vet Discount Program Expanded, now includes on-line

It's more like Lowes, but not quite. Some exclusions and a $400 annual maximum. You need an HD account to apply, which is verified in a few minutes by SheerID. They want a document uploaded to verify, so have a scanned image ready. DD214 or discharge certificate should work...

Ya its ok. I have saved a few hundred this year with it. The $400 will quickly run out…then back to Lowes! I guess that is exactly what HD wants.

Sounds like what HF did for years with their 25% off coupons.

Someone in another thread mentioned something about needing a cellphone to get the discount now? What's that all about?

When you check out, you bring up the HD app on your cell phone and access your account. At that point, you scan the QR code on your phone's screen to get the military discount.

Where I live, the discount covers the sales tax and I'm not complaining.

No vet here. Should be of some help to those who qualify.

I've got a VA card with my name on it.

Last two orders I did were on the web and shipped to home. Discount applied automatically and on items the stores don't stock and that were on sale..

That's where the big difference is with this program expansion. Used to be in store only and in-stock regular priced items only.

I've got a VA card with my name on it.

So do I, but this makes it easier. The 'present VA card in store' was subject to store manager discretion and some didn't accept it, or only on certain holidays. And you couldn't use it for web orders to be picked up in store even if you could use it for in store purchases.

I have used the discount for several decades. From what you post they are now limiting it so that lumber and building material and appliances don't count. That is a huge downside. If you can now use it online that is an upside but not enough to counter the elimination of lumber from the discount. Lowes is further away and not as convenient but they used to allow double dipping and you would get the discount even on an item with a sales price. Used it on a freezer and dryer in past years for a significant savings. HD may have pushed me over to Lowes for more purchases with their so called enhancement. Of course Lowes may now exclude lumber will have to look into that.

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