Worth a read for any active/reserve/guard/retired/disabled military personnel:

Lowe’s expands military discounts - Charlotte Business Journal:

Quote:
Lowe’s Cos. Inc. is expanding its support of the military by offering a 10 percent discount daily to all military personnel.

The program is available to active, reserve, retired or disabled personnel. Customers must have a valid, government-issued military identification card to be eligible.

The discount had been offered on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day weekends.

I have been getting that discount all the time as a dependent. It is Home Depot who gives it on certain occasions or if I threaten to go to Lowes and get the same product at 10% off. Lowes also beat the competitor's price by 10% and I think you get the 10% on top of it as well (cannot remember for sure when I did that). Also the military discount is not valid on sale items, only one discount.

Home Depot gives 10% off all of the time but you have to ask for it. Even if you're wearing BDUs they will not offer it unless you request it. This is what a cashier told me, and I'm a dependent.

This is self-contradictory because active, reserve, retired and disabled doesn't cover all military personnel (most, but not all). I'm prior service but I guess this little technicality means I don't get the discount, huh?

You need to show the ID. Prior does not mean you have the ID now.

It's amazing how it is company policy all the time and some employees look at you as if they do not know and you are crazy.

They will discount but usually needs a manager override. It can hold up the line. I only use it if over say $40.00.

That is the hang up. You would think that with this policy they would make it easier. I use mine regardless every little helps.
BTW there are a lot of other places that offer military disounts, if asked of course, but only on specific days. Like Rack Room shoes, NYandCompany. I always asked when I patronise a store. The worse they can say is no..
