I have been getting this discount at various places for over 30 years
apparentley Lowes has changed its policy
National home improvement retailer Lowe's has expanded its everyday military discount program to include all honorably discharged veterans, as of May 2018. The chain also has expanded the 10 percent discount to Lowe's online shopping, which will include free parcel shipping. It will provide for faster checkout and add the ability to use the discount at self-checkout in stores, said Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb. But the procedure for getting the discount has changed: Active-duty service members, retirees and veterans must must sign up online at www.lowes.com/mylowes/login?context=military for the Lowe's personal shopping card to qualify for the discount. This is not a credit card. If you do not want a card you have the option of using your phone number.
Spouses and dependent children up to age 18 can also get the discount, although the online signup process doesn't include an option for spouses or children.
I disagree with the new policy and stand by my demand to cease your non-service connected
use of the discount, however.
Respectfully,
RJC

Subject: [DIY] Veterans discount at Lowes versus Home Depot

I have an ID for the local VA hospital but my health
problems
are NOTT service related. For many years this was not a
problem and I always got a 10% discount at both my local
Home Depot in Pennsylvania which is about 1/4 mile from
our driveway and the one in Delaware where there is no sales
tax.
(my VA hospital is in Wilmington, DE so I tend to shop
there
on my way home from appointments.)
In the last few months both of the Home Depots I use have
stopped giving veterans discounts to veterans unless you
have
an ID that indicates you have a service connected
disability.
This has been their official policy for a couple of years
but it varied by store and by employee until recently.
In other words, I was sometimes I was able to get a discount
by just moving to a different cash register because it is up
to each Home Depot employee to look at your ID card and
verify
you are a veteran EVERY time you go to a cash register
to pay
But that policy has now apparently changed and become more
stringent
since I never get a discount anymore at Home Depot at either
of the stores
I use.
I just discovered recently that Lowes, on the other hand,
has a much better way to administer their veterans
discount.
You show them your VA hospital ID one time at customer
service
and they enter that information into their computer
system.
From then on, all you have to do is tell the cashier at the
checkout
counter what your phone number is and you should get the
discount.
They then look up the phone number to verify you are
registered
as a qualified veteran.
Needless to say I am now shopping more frequently at
Lowes,
especially for big dollar items, even though it is a farther
drive
from my home. I discovered all this by chance a month ago
when
we were shopping for a new washing machine. The Lowes
is in the same shopping center as the Comcast store so
after returning all of our Comcast equipment we decided to
stop at
Lowes and check out which model & mfg to buy.
Since the Lowes and Home Depot sale prices were the same
and they both have free delivery, we ended up buying the
clothes
washer at Lowes even though I can see the Home Depot
from our driveway.
My wife has a smartphone and it amazes me how easy it is now
to check prices for brand name products at local stores. She
checked the nearby prices while we were still in the
Lowes.
We saved approx $60 on that one purchase and Home Depot lost
that sale. I will still buy small stuff from Home Depot
because it is
convenient but from now on any large purchase we make, will
probably
be at Lowes.
