We were confronted last week,, at our group lunch, by the person who runs the eligibility office at our CBOC. He was telling us that vets that don't have the VA card are not getting the discounts because they don't have the card. Their coming to him trying to get the card.

There seems to be a disconnect between the ones that have the card and don't. It seems as if these stores could come up with a policy that ALL vets could get the discount.

The priority at my local Lowes is : ACTIVE , RETIRED , RESERVE , DISABLED and may be claimed on product, but not on labor performed. A VA card may not fill the bill if the veteran is not service connected with the words written below the photo on the card. There may be some veterans who own a purple heart, but are not service connected for anything. Most veterans who claim the discount at this Lowes use retired military ID.

I use the DVA card I got when I started using the VA health care system. It has worked at Lowe's and Home Depot so far.

I use it, but ONLY if the bill tops $100 or more!

Trouble with a nice bennie like this is that if it overused (use an override and a $5.99 item) they go away really quick!

No card = no bennie (AS IT SHOULD BE!)

Being paranoid - only describes those who have put the entire world under surveillance.

For me I just ask if they give Veterans a discount, and they say yes. I am SC, but I don't think that matters. Bass Pro also give 10%.

Tried the card today, they will no longer take a Dept. of VA card unless it says SC or SC diabled (Have to get an updated card). Lowes still takes the regular DAV card.

Can also use your DOD ID and Privilege Card at Home Depot or Lowes and get the 10%. Never have used the VA card. Lowes does it every day and Home Depot used to do it only on Holidays, but now will do it every day. Nice to see this, since we spend a bunch at both keeping this ol' place in shape! ID does say DAVPRM in any case.

Sometimes you have to dance with the devil if you want to get close enough to put out the fire!

The Home Depot Veterans Discount Program* (Updated)

As we announced earlier this year, we offer a year-round, 10 percent discount, up to a $500 maximum, at our U.S. stores to all active duty military personnel, reservists, retired or disabled veterans and their immediate families. We offer this discount to thank them for their outstanding service to this nation and to help make their homes more comfortable and safe. Customers requesting the discount should present a valid military ID.

In addition, a 10 percent discount is also offered in recognition of Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veterans Day at all U.S. Home Depot stores for all other military veterans. So as a veteran, we invite you into our stores this weekend to take advantage of the discount.

February 10, 2010 ...

MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Lowe’s Companies, Inc. announced today it will expand its support of the military by offering an all day, every day 10 percent discount to all military personnel who are active,reserve, retired or disabled veterans and their family members, with a valid, government-issued military ID card.

All other military veterans will receive the discount on the Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day weekends.

Both chains seem to have similar discounts for disabled vets. How these policies are handled at the store level ... and even at the individual cashier level ... is probably inconsistent.

An update to the Lowes vet discount

A couple of months ago Lowes started taking 5% off the cost of your purchase if you used your Lowes credit card. The 5% was deducted automatically at your checkout. Today was the first time since then I've used my vet 10% discount. The result was that if you use the vet 10% discount they won't give you the 5% Lowes cardmember discount. I received the 10% but not the 5%.

That means Lowes gives a 10% vet discount to those customers who do NOT have a Lowes credit a card but vets with a Lowes credit card only get an additional 5%. Strange and surprising they would handle it that way. C'est la vie.

I don't see anything strange about it. I haven't run across any stores that will stack discounts in this manner. They still give military personnel and disabled veterans a substantial discount at Lowes.

I shop there because of both the discount and their support for military personnel and veterans.

Here in Spokane WA we have Take Out Pizza Chain. 50% for the one on Division. I don't know about any others. But if you have PM it would not hurt to ask. Golden Correl has dinner for Vets very soon. Tried to go once, gee line was way way too long for me.
