I went to Home Depot to look at a snowblower about two years ago. Found one I liked for right around $1,000. I had my DD214 with me and asked about a veteran's discount. I was told that my status only got the discount on certain holidays as noted above.

I then went to Lowes and found a unit I had researched online, for around $1,300. The sales guy asked if I was a veteran and I said yes. When we got to the register, the cashier said that with my status the discount only applied for certain holidays, but called a manager over and he modified the price to reflect the discount. Also got a Lowes credit card to get no interest for 6 months.

Shortly thereafter, we got an email saying that Lowes was now offering a veteran's discount year round, with little restriction. We applied and ithe discount is linked to MyLowes card and the Lowes credit card. My wife can give them our phone number, and get the discount if I'm not with her. Thank you Lowes.
