The above is copied directly from Lowes web site. Back in the middle of June I began receiving emails about signing up for Veterans 10% discount benefit that would automatically onlinee up when I used my Lowes card at checkout without having to prove OVER and OVER that I was a “real” vet even though I have no Veterans ID card. The general public does NOT understand that you can be a “real” vet without having retired from the service —which are the ones with an ID Card. But I digress. I am fortunate enough that my state offers drivers licences that indicate that you are a “real” vet, and I had received the discount when I showed it at the checkout. NOW, since I onlinepleted all the red tape with Lowes big campaign about registering online and not have to show anything else in the future at checkout—-I have been unable 3 times to receive my veterans discount. Yep, had to dig out my DD-214 and enter specific date etc. off of it and was accepted and advised that anytime I used my Lowes card at checkout I would automatically receive the vets. discount of 10%. Well I promise you it has NOT worked yet in 3 different trips. The cashiers have NO clue when I ask about why I did not receive it or oh you did receive it. NO I DID NOT. I did receive a 5% on the items for using their credit card which ANYONE gets!!! I had some items that were discounted in the first 2 purchases so decided that was why I did not receive the veterans discount. Well, the 3rd trip and purchase I had nothing but regular priced items and still did NOT receive any 10% discount. I have tried to contact via email customer service for the last 4 days off of the Lowes website———guess what it is BROKE and could not contact them!!!!
That is how I ended up here. I read most of your onlinements above and have had pretty much similar experiences. Also with the Home Depot deal I went through the checkout inline right behind a Retired Vet with and ID card who had NO problem getting his discount. When I asked for mine the cashier advised I had to have a military ID card and my drivers license was not acceptable to prove I am a VETERAN. NOT retired military, but a VETERAN of NAM.
Seems like instead of making it easier to get our veterans discount, Lowes made it easier for them NOT to have to give the discount. I believed the regular VETS are getting shafted yet again. Lifers are ok but not someone that just served and got out.
