They always honored my VA card at HD up until yesterday they gave me the discount that day but no longer and they were’nt polite about it. guess what they lost a customer. Lowe’s honored it but the have abuse issues, exactly what I don’t know a manager has to okay the discount. HD made me feel like I was looking for a free hand out.

This is exactly what happened to me, tell all your friends and go to Lowe’s or your local hardware store.

Returned from a Home Depot in Leominster MA who used to honor my VA card, now you have to be disabled, active or retired I was told. I guess if you served next to a guy who got disabled and you didn’t doesn’t count. Corperate Policy I’m told, well you know what you can do with that. Won’t be going to Home Depot anymore and will tell all my friends. I went to Lowe’s and they honored it, but the cashiers don’t have the authority to give it to you a manager has to okay it due to abuse. A cashier told me at Lowe’s that one manager won’t give it to you if he thinks your using it for a business. I can go on and on. The point is if you offer a Veterens discount honor it we all served so we all deserve.

The Salvation Army thrift store in Roseville, MI offers a 25% discount every Tuesday. Worth asking your local store.

I recently shopped at the Home Depot on Washington Bl in Whittier, CA. At the check out counter I was informed that my blue retired military card was not good for a discount. I asked to see the policy and it clearly states that I am elegible. The store emplyees said that the only card they would accept is the V.A. card. I pointed out to them that that is only for veterans with a service connected disability. I got no where with these individuals. I left in disgust and went to my hardware store.

I called their 800 number and was informed that I am correct. Hopefully this will filter down to the bottom of their food chain.

Home Depot near me had us register for the military discount with our phone number at the customer service counter, that way when we go to pay we just enter the phone number as a “pro rewards number” and we get the 10% off. Sometimes they ask to see ID, but they only really closely inspected it when we did the registration. The lady said it was something that had to be re-registered annually. We haven’t had problems using it in different Home Depot stores in the area (DC/Northern Virginia) except for once, and there they applied the discount at the register.

Haven’t tried Home Depot but I know the Lowe’s in my area works. It’s nice of them to extend the 10% discount to disabled veterans with valid goverment-issued ID’s too.

I was in the 191st Michigan Air National Guard for six years during June of 1969-1976.
I think it’s great that you give a discount for us military retiree’s but, why not honor every day instead of only on Memorial Day, or Veterans Day.
I belong to the American Legions, and Amvet’s and was turned down at the Cheyenne Wy. Lowes store for my 10% discount.
When I got out of the service we were never given a Military ID.
I think that showing our Amvet’s and American Legion card should be good enough.
Why are we only remembered on those day’s.
