Did you try their "projects" card? I find it hard to believe I got $1500 several years ago on a personal card and now they're only willing to give $400. Of course I do have stellar credit...

This holiday shopping season will be the nail in the coffin. But then again I wonder if there really is even a recession. Where I'm at people are carrying on like it's 1998..........??? I don't get it. Where do people get their money?
With all the people who have Iphones yet claim they're living pay check to pay check it kinda makes you wonder.

I couldn't understand it either. The only thing I can guess that did it Amex voluntarily skyrocketed my credit limit only 3 months before.

It worked out though. Apparently you can't double-dip the 5% with that 10% off coupon you get with the post office moving packet. So I've got two of those, and I'll end up with a better deal charging it on my Citi card. (0% for 14 months)

I just need to carry it until I sell this other house I have, which I have no doubt will be gone by next June.

I thanked him and went to leave, and found out that Lowes does the rat maze thing that forces you to go to the other side of the store to exit. If you try to go out the same way you came in it sets off an alarm.

Never went back.

They deserve to go belly up.

How is that Obama's fault?
So you were too lazy to walk another few yards?

Is that the moral of this story?

I've never had a problem with Lowes or Home Depot. They always accept returns with or without a receipt at my stores. One time I couldn't find my plastic bag & brought it in a Wal-Mart bag turned inside out...still no quibbles.

It has nothing to do with lazy, I detest stores that waste my time under the pretext of forcing me to view their wares by insisting you exit through a door that is 1/4 mile away from the entrance. It is simply pathetic. I find this to be even more so given that their associate did not have access to any more information at the store than I did as a consumer at home about the bathtub I was interested in.

They had one shot and they blew it. They can't meet the competition here in terms of offering, quality, price or convenience. Again, if their upper management is making poor business decisions, they can try to blame Obama but no one around here is buying it.

Went to our new Lowes store and went out the same doors I went in so it is obviously not any specific policy

I have 3 Home Depots and 1 Lowe's within 15 miles, all of them have separate entrance and exit doors and HD's are the farthest separated.
