Lowes Veterans Discount

[RVRoadie]

Lowes has changed the way you get the 10% Veterans Discount. You have to register for a MyLowes (https://www.lowes.com/mylowes/login?context=military&searchTerm=veterans%20discount) card, and apply for the Veterans Discount. You register on-line and it is easy to do; just need the separation date from your DD-214.

With this new card, you can get the Veterans Discount on-line and at the self checkout in the store, something the old program did not support.

It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up, and I was able to order a dishwasher on-line and get the discount right away. You can get a MyLowes card in the mail, but you can also access the discount with your phone number.

Thanks for the "heads up."

I've had it for over a month. Love it, works great! They verified my military service in about five days. At that point I could have printed out a temporary card but I waited about three more weeks and the plastic card came in the mail. Thanks Lowes! :BigApplause:

I have the My Lowe's card. After I filled out the vets discount request it said I could get the 10% discount - no waiting.

Aren't they accepting your VA card anymore?

It is a government issued card with your photo on it.

Of course, it would not work for buying online but I don't buy from Lowe's online.

I asked my husband, who went to Lowe's this morning if they still accepted his VA card and they did, without question.

My understanding is that they will no longer accept the DD214. The MYLOWES account came with one card and one key ring card. My SO and I have used several times without any issues.

I signed up in May and they took my dd214 paperwork

to clarify, they will use your DD214 to verify you are entitled to the discount when signing you up for the MYLOWES card. We were told the discount was being abused and they wanted a way to track who was using the discount. At some point, I expect they will no longer accept DD214 as acceptable proof unless you have a MYLOWES card.

No, this is NOT a credit card. However when You sign up for a MyLowes card You can have it linked to your Lowes Credit Card and automatically get the 10% Vets discount rather than the automatic Lowes Credit Card discount of 5%. By the way, HD will only accept the VA card.

I did not need a card, just said I was a navy Vet, got my 10 percent off.

No, it is not. It is a "my Lowes" card which will give you the 10% discount. Now if you want, you can attach your favorite credit card to it (I didn't do that).

I have the "V" on my Florida drivers license. I'll try it the next time I shop there.

[petsetc]

I signed up, easy. Now I just give them my phone # and I get the discount, on line purchases too.

The downside is that every time I now make a purchase, they send me a thank you email and want a rating. I am looking to see how to turn that "feature" off.

10% is nothing. If Lowes will not accept a veteran without going through a progress, a card, and tracking, then screw them. We vets should be able to prove with a VA card or military ID. Everything else is tracking purchases. Personally I don't need the discount but for the people who do... they are being taken advantage of. Social profiling.

[Chatbrat]

I just flash my blue retiree card when I check out no problem-I hardly use Lowes as I prefer the Home Depot--much more knowledgeable staff--get the same discount @ HD

[jsw14]

I have a my lowes card, but it's 3 years old. Hmmm, maybe I will check if it will give me the Vet discount. I just might have to renew the card if it don't. I'm a VET from the Army> 69-70.

Thanks for the Info.

No, just a store affinity card.

Take your My Lowes card and your DD214 to customer service counter. They will add the Vet discount to your present My Lowes Card

As stated earlier, Lowes will also accept your VA card or military ID. The tracking card is not required.

As for "needing" a discount - that is up to you but I like to save money when possible.

I went to visit my daughter recently who bought a new home. We used my VA card at Lowes to buy a washer and dryer. 10% discount on top of big discount for being floor models. Saved her lots of money on that!

They accepted my VA medical picture ID for the discount. Although my card says 'service connected, it doesn't matter as far as the discount.

What about the veteran status imprinted on my Florida drivers license. Will Lowe's accept that ? Florida only gives you that with proof of an honorable discharge.

Ok, shopped at Lowe's yesterday. They do accept the drivers license veteran designation. 10% to me [emoji3]

Hey, i just shopped at Lowes yesterday and despite having the MyLowes card linked to my Lowes credit card in order to get the 10% Veterans discount, it turns out that if You use self checkout you do NOT get the Veterans discount. Why? The person monitoring self checkout said that's just the way it is and I should go to customer service. Customer service had 5 people waiting in line not being helped, so I left. Lesson Learned!

[Jima64]

No problem showing my va card to the checker. No need to get bent out of shape.

[cmj1210]

They will also take your drivers license if it has a veteran designation.
