Saw this on a deal site so I figured id pass the info on.
So before I guess you would have to show your ID every time to get the discount. Also this is for active or retired military now. (before it was active duty only I believe based on press release) Now they connect it to a mylowes card so you can get the 10% off online and in the store just using your card. (don't have to show military id each time) Link for signup. https://www.lowes.com/mylowes/login?context=military Press release https://newsroom.lowes.com/news-releases/lowes-expands-support-military-enhanced-discount/ |

My local Lowes is always out of stock of shit when I need it. ETA: Just so it's noted, Lowes does mil discount on sale items like appliances and shit, and Home Depot doesn't. I did it on a stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and it worked for everything at Lowes. Home Depot said fuck you on the Fridge. |

Sweet. Thanks OP
At the stores I've been to they will give it to any veteran, not just AD or retired. Home Depot has the same 10% for vets. |

Yup. NM will put veteran on your DL as well. Or VA card works too. ETA: If you plan on purchasing over $1500 go to the pro desk and have them QSP the order. Usually more than 10% off. This applies to non vets as well. View Quote |

Don't forget that they also price match plus take off 10%. Saved $200 on a fridge the other day when I showed them the same fridge on HD's website for 2 bucks cheaper. Pretty sure it won't stack with the military discount though.

Our Lowes discounts all vets, not just retired or active. Years ago I had veteran added to my drivers license and it is all I show. The Home depot is just too wonky about giving the discount so I do not go there often. I recently got a 10% discount on a $2400 Samsung fridge

Last year, signed up at ebenefits. Tried to get a Vet ID card. Couldn't find or see the link to do so. Tried again this morning.
Then I remembered it is the VA I am dealing with and the VA doesn't want a vet getting anything..still no easy way to find and to sign up for it. My DL renewal is up in years, I will have the state ID me as a vet. |

Home Depot is hit or miss with the 10% veteran discount. They only offer it to AD, retired or service connected disability on your Vet ID card. I'm an honorably discharged vet with the Vet ID card and the last time I tried it a home depot I was denied because my ID didn't have the service connected disability.
Reading the fine print from Lowe's they are offering it to ALL honorably discharged vets also. Kudos to them. |

Doesn't one of them have a dollar limit on the discount? Like a max of $20 off or something like that?

Thanks OP!
I filled out the online application for a MyLowe's account (not the credit card), then it went to a page to enter my military status (selected veteran and then entered date of discharge). It said I now get 10% off by using my phone number at checkout, but it said my veteran info would be sent to SheerID for verification. Anyone know how good/safe is SheerID? |

Doc loves it because he can stay close to all his patients with minimal fuss or red tape. Dr. J loves messaging. Sign up for everything and learn how to use the system. Does your clinic have walk in forms? Use those for stuff needing looked at today. I've never had to wait more than 30min to see at least a nurse. If the nurse thinks it's bad enough to see a doc, they'll get me into see one within the hour. Either way, the nurse puts the info into the computer and doc sees it same day. |

Thanks OP, just signed up. I do all of my home improvement shopping at lowes. They would never accept the "Veteran" designation that is on my license, even though to get it I had to send a copy of my DD214 to DMV. I have one of those old VA ID's with my social security number boldly on the front, I hate using it.

Their is a reason that I buy kobalt. 10% off and the no questions asked return policy. The 24v brushless drill/impact set is tits awesome.

My local Lowes, Menards and HD always give military 10% discount, active and retired even on Black Friday.
I know that because I helped one of my neighbors, USAF retired hauling some lumber with my trailer few years ago. |

Thanks for the heads up OP.
Just signed up. Checked my account status and had "verified" military status on my account within seconds after creating it. I'll just use my phone number until my card comes. Again thanks. Tennessee has a "Veteran" stamp for your drivers license. But my Lowes would only accept it on holidays like Memorial Day. |
