Lowe’s 10% Military Discount Eligibility
Lowe’s 10% military discount is available to active-duty, reserve and National Guard service members in the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (USPHS) also qualify for the discount, as do spouses of service members.
The 10% discount also applies to retired or discharged veterans. You are not eligible for the discount if you were dishonorably discharged from the military.
To receive the discount, you need to enroll in the MyLowe’s Program. Lowe’s uses a trusted third-party service to verify eligibility status, which may require you to submit additional documentation such as proof of military service. You’ll only need to do this once.
Home Depot offers a military discount similar to Lowe’s, for eligible service members, veterans and their families. You can view all our reviewed military discounts here.
How to Sign Up for the MyLowe’s Program
To enroll in the MyLowe’s Program and receive a military discount, visit Lowe’s military validation page. Select “Verify with ID.me,” which is a third-party eligibility verification service contracted to the Department of Defense.
Then, follow the on-screen instructions to complete military verification.
Once you’re verified, you’ll create a personal account on Lowes.com or log in to your existing personal account and follow the on-screen instructions.
You can link your MyLowe’s account with your phone number or carry a membership card to receive your discount in-store. In either case, cashiers may ask to see photo ID, such as a valid driver’s license, state- or federal-issued identification card, DOD identification card or passport.
Your spouse must complete military verification through ID.me and create a separate MyLowe’s personal account. Spouses will also need to provide their phone number or membership card and show photo ID to complete in-store purchases.

What If You Don’t Receive a Discount?
I’ve been using the 10% military discount at Lowe’s for years, and I’ve rarely had any issues.
However, if you don’t receive a discount, start by verifying that the discount applies to your particular purchases.
Your purchase might be included in one of the exclusions noted above, or you might not have shown the proper ID.
If you have questions or think you were improperly denied the discount, you can ask to see a copy of the military discount policy.
Author’s note: Even if you’re denied a discount, we should appreciate that Lowe’s is making an effort to support our community through their ongoing policy of hiring and providing scholarships for veterans, creating safe and affordable veteran’s housing and preferred veterans parking at store locations. The chain has also been ranked as one of the top five military-friendly brands for 2022 by Military Friendly.

Lowes is a real joke!! No discount on appliances, no discount on any mil works, no discount on anything they claim is on sale even tho it is their everyday price! And just Spent four hours plus on phone trying to order appliances . What a joke!! ,

I was denied a Veteran discount on 5 pieces of wood for my stair repair. I was told that discount does not apply to wood, appliances, or sale items. I am in their system. A Vietnam Veteran.
Many you should check your facts before you mislead the public. Call Lowes in Danvers Mass. to verify.

Hi Peter, sorry that happened to you. Unfortunately, Lowe’s military discount does have some exclusions. We listed a few of them in the article. I’ll check in with Lowe’s about their discount policy on lumber and add it to the list if that’s the case.

My husband is retired military. We have tried to get a discount at HD and it seems to depend on their mood so we haven’t tried in the last couple years. We went to Lowe’s a couple years ago with the required paperwork and they submitted everything for us. We have the My Lowe’s card but have never used it and we always get the discount. Not sure if this works everywhere but all we do is give our phone number. I can go in without him and receive the discount by just giving our phone number. They always say “thank you for your service.” We shop at Lowe’s in Bentonville and Rogers, AR.
