Lowe's Military Discount now Year-Round

[Arch]

From Marine Corps Times:

Most members of the military community no longer will have to wait for a
special holiday discount to buy shovels, paint, and other home improvement
needs.

Home improvement retailer Lowe's has expanded its 10 percent military
discount to all day, every day, for active-duty, National Guard and reserve,
retiree and disabled service members, and their families, company officials
announced Wednesday.

Those who want to receive the discount must present a valid military ID
card.

All other military veterans will receive the 10 percent discount on the
holiday weekends of Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day.

The discount is available on in-stock and special-order purchases of up to
$5,000. It cannot be used on sales at Lowes.com, on previous sales, or on
sales of services or gift cards.

"Lowe's was founded on the heels of World War II by veterans Jim Lowe and
Carl Buchan and has always been a supporter of the military," said Larry D.
Stone, Lowe's president and chief operating officer, in a statement
announcing the new policy.

"The year-round discount program is one way we are reaffirming our
commitment to the thousands of men and women who are serving throughout the
world, as well as their family members at home."

ID card holders with current and valid ID's receive the discount. Here it basically covers the cost of the sales tax which is better than a kick to the groin...
One needs to let the cashier know they would like the military or veteren discount, and show the ID to receive it. If one does not ask they just set the transaction sans discount.
Here with Ft. Campbell nearby, Lowe's requires the individual show ID and ask for the discount after validation by the cashier

You get it year round if you are:

1. Still active service (in right now)
2. Retired (did your +/-20 years)
3. Disabled from your serivice

You get it only on the listed holidays if you did your time and ETSed (not as disabled).
