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.

Years ago I spent a lot of money every year at HD.
Eventually, Lowes improved greatly and the Veterans Discount was appreciated. While deployed overseas I found that HD would not ship to APO address's! That meant Lowes became my preferred store.
Lowes allows the discount on everything I purchase.
The Closest Lowes is 1/2 hour away, HD, 5 minutes.
I am "forced" to buy some things at HD but all my big purchases are orders so they get most of my money.
Thank you Lowes for your loyalty to veterans!

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.

Ummm, no. Once it's linked to your MyLowes card, it all happens automatically all days. The main exclusion there is appliances, though there are a few others.

Hmm.. here I still need to ask for it..? And they still wont give it on sale items.

 

[Diggin It]

That's why I do a lot of 'order on their website for pick up in store'. All of that is done at the web order checkout and not left up to the store. But in my two stores, it even applies to clearance items, though sometimes I'll see 'minimum retail price applied' on the store receipt when something is already reduced as far as they'll allow.

I'll look again, but a couple months ago I didn't see it apply to any online orders, even tools. Ended up going through HD online. Maybe I'm gonna have to get a hold of CS and see whats up.. Thanks for the info.

Well after reading this I went to the HD website and signed up to get my QR code. After reading all the new exclusions/excluded items that used to get the military discount when you showed your card at checkout, I am beyond disappointed. No longer my go to store. They have lost a lot of my business as a veteran as they degraded the program in a major way but glammed it up to make folks think it is something better. It is not.
The veteran discount has not been expanded in any way other than it is now available on line. It has been shrunk in every other way. Got on line ordering for a limited list of stuff and lose everything else. Not my cup of tea. No Thanks!!

Lowe's just announced many restrictions on 10% veterans discount.

Where can we read the list of restrictions?

 

[Diggin It]

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

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.
