Dear Todd,
I just returned from shopping inside a Lowe’s store in Florida(I won’t say what city as to embarrass them) and presented my husbands’ VA Veterans Card for my discount(my husband was not with me)and each time, they tell me their policy is that the veteran must be physically standing beside you to honor the discount. Then why, do I ALWAYS get a hassle and a threatening message from your employees when it states directly above in your ‘rules’ that immediate family members are included for this discount? All of your stores throughout the country should follow the same policy stated above. Immediate families of veterans, should not be made to feel we are going through an interrogation each time we enter your store!

I ran into the problem with Lowes in Florida not honoring their military discount. I’m a disabled Viet Nam veteran and I’m in the process of building a new home. My intention was to buy lots from Lowes using their 10% discount. I was told that I must have a military ID or a VA card. I told them I did not have either, but I did have my DD214, my VA letter stating my disability and my Bronze star letter for Viet Nam service. They would not even look at my letters and just stated that I must have a VA card. I told them that I have not used the VA in over 25 years and I have no need to, so why would I have a VA card? They refused my discount, Lowes does not care about veterans at all.

I was honorably discharged from the Air Force and a Gulf War Vet. I have been told by 2 different Lowes employees that I must be retired or Active Duty to recieve the discount. This says honorable discharge! I Will be making a formal complaint with the store manager. Apparently its whatever that paticular store feels like! Whitelake MI

James – We are not associated with Lowes in anyway. I can certainly understand your frustration…you’d be better served trying to contact Lowes with your comment. Best of luck and thank you for your service.

I am a 14 year veteran of the US Navy. I proudly served and was honorable discharged but I too like many am discriminated against because I cannot qualify for a veterans medical benefit card. I made too much salary according to veterans affairs to be eligible for the medical so no card. Lowes will not honor my license with a veteran endorsement. Your store policy is discriminating and should be changed or do away with it all together. I am a building contractor and buy large quantity materials but this makeshift shop other places that does not discriminate.
