This is somewhat true but not in entirely true ether. Lets separate the rumor from the facts.
Lowes reserves the right to change, modify, alter or even end the military discount program that offers 10% on many products that they sell in the stores at their sole discretion. (see section 6) Most products are eligible for receiving the 10% discount however there are a few items that are not eligible such as been that limited to items already marked down from the original price tag or clearance items and a few other categories. (see section 2, subsection i)
As we all know what the cost of everything inflation is definitely affecting everyone and unfortunately Lowe’s has also been affected therefore they have also made certain products that we probably had purchased before and received a 10% discount is no longer eligible.
I am not going to cover every single item that is no longer eligible for the 10% discount however I will go after the big ticket items such as like plywood, appliances and electrical.
