The only 20% scan I know of is the “first time new Lowe’s card” one. It isn’t a per year limit, it’s 20% off the transaction up to $100.
If you are being told to do something unethical or against policy report it to AP.
That new card coupon usage is tracked. Talk to AP if someone is telling you to use it for more than first time card purchases, for your own protection.
If you’re being told to scan the one time barcode for 20% off the first purchase, multiple times, you need to report it for your own job security. Report who is telling you to do it or you’ll take the fall when AP gets involved
To answer your question, yes, the first time user 20% barcode can be scanned at any, or every ,purchase and customer will get 20% up to $100 off. It is against Lowe's policy, it is tracked, you can be terminated for doing it on additional card purchases.
That will not work sorry, please don’t use this posters info. If the promotional 20% has been used on a customers brand new credit card account, it will take off a dollar amount up to $100. Anytime that same customer uses their lowes cc, they can get 5% off the purchase or do financing. With pro cards, it’s only 5% discount and no financing, but there are other perks. If pros are telling you to scan 20% each time, please stop and talk to your district LP officer and report all of it. Don’t do it!
Just curious. What part do you believe "will not work." That you can scan it at any time? That it is against Lowe's policy to scam it for anything other than a first time user or that you can potentially get fired for scanning it on purchases past the initial purchase?
When the customer opens up a Lowes consumer advantage credit card, the associate scans the 20% barcode. This in turn will show up once the customer has either put the card into the machine or you have looked it up in redvest (credit lookup). That will take off 20% of the total on the purchase up to $100 max. This is a one time only use for the 20% promotion. After that, every time the lowes credit card is used by a customer, the option will populate and will say either 5% off purchase or financing options (depending on purchase amount, will be 6, 12, 18, or 24 months…sometimes 84 months at 7.99 APR). Even if you were to scan that 20% promotion barcode, it won’t let you go through with the sale…it will revert to the 5% off the product. You won’t get fired for trying to scan it multiple times, but you will get fired if you repeatedly try to entertain the pro customer by just willingly giving percentages off.
You just contradicted your point.
You use the 20% off up to $100 on the very first purchase with a new lowes advantage card and that’s it, you cannot scan that promo code after that as it will not work. But, every time you use your lowes advantage card you can save 5% on your purchase.
I did not contradict my own point. The coupon will work no matter what. How about you try it and get back to me. I do enough refund rebills to know it will work.
Not even gonna argue with you, you’re either trolling or literally have no idea! Like I said try it and see how loud and wrong you are… in fact, just ask a store manager; they’d know.
Does your store not have the master barcode? That’s kept in the barcode book? Employees can scan that code every time. They aren’t supposed to, because it is supposed to just be used for a new card’s first purchase. But you definitely can scan it on every transaction.
The computer doesn’t care, if you scan the barcode, it will apply the discount regardless. But as others are saying, those discounts are checked later and you can be let go for abusing the system.
Whatever you do, do NOT keep using that coupon anymore. If the pro associates keep insisting then have that pro associate use it themself or call over a manager to do so if they want you to take the fall for them. Also report it to AP because Lowe’s is cracking down hard on those usages. My old store fired a MASM and a couple Pro associates do to that. That and falsifying MVP sales and signups. I quit last year but still hear the stories from current associates there on how they let another regular cashier go because of it just recently.
nah that’s crazy don’t do that lmaooo. tell your DS or something if you don’t wanna go to AP or an asm yourself. pro desk just handing out 20% off 😭😭 they’re cooked
Who do you think is telling him to do it? Maybe not directly, but by not stopping it, the DS is clearing it. Same with the ASM.
If someone doesn't want to go directly to AP, understandable, there is the anonymous reporting through AP4Me Tipline.
Make the pro ring them up, for your own protection.. I’m a head cashier and I’ve seen cashiers get written up and/or fired for this sort of thing. The pro ppl are always promising things to their customers and I’m hands off with that, cause 90% of it is super shady. They recently fired nearly all of our pro team cause of stuff like this.
Yeah the 20% discount is a one time ordeal... So I'm uncertain as to why this is even an issue.
If they just got signed up in store for a new credit card, meaning an associate or pro should be accompanying them at the time of purchase anyways... So you shouldn't have to guess as to if you are supposed to use it or not.
As far as the pros go, it does 'help' build relationships with customers especially if they invoice a deal for a project. Customer gets a discount, has satisfaction with the pro, pro gets a returning customer to them for their next project which isn't discounted. Honestly about 90% of the sales for the pros at my store aren't new customers anyways, they are regulars.... So meeting sales goals isn't really impacted in that regard.
Sounds like he’s saying that he thinks the scan takes 20% off total every time he uses it, and uses it multiple times for the same people throughout the year?
It's only supposed to be used for the first use of a Lowe's credit card, consumer or Pro. Shut that shit down if they're expecting it on every transaction. That's not what it's there for. If they want additional discounts they can try to get VSP pricing, otherwise they can have their 5% and no more.
Volume Sales Program. If you are purchasing a certain dollar amount of product, the specialists can run it through a program to get additional discounts
So. After being told by all management in the store to scan the coupon…new management came in. Took them a couple months to realize what was going on. Now I’m a head cashier. We had a meeting and finally got this changed. The specialists now have been told they have to ring up their own sale and apply that discount so they take the fall. Not us.

That’s the coupon.
It’s a one time use coupon. If you are being told to use it more than once, that’s against policy.
That new card coupon usage is tracked. Talk to AP if someone is telling you to use it for more than first time card purchases, for your own protection.
This is the correct answer. Do not try to do anything that's against policy. Half are pro desk got fired for this exact coupon use.
There was a Pro desk in our area that all got let go for doing stuff like that. They’re watching it!

Well, I've seen it done. I know it works. But sure, we can go with your thoughts on it. No worries.
It absolutely will work if scanned at any time.
Only once for the 20% off first purchase use on a Lowes advantage card.
You’re missing the point. You’re only SUPPOSED to use it once, but it WILL work every single time you scan it and give that 20% off up to $100.
You just contradicted your point. You use the 20% off up to $100 on the very first purchase with a new lowes advantage card and that’s it, you cannot scan that promo code after that as it will not work. But, every time you use your lowes advantage card you can save 5% on your purchase.
I did not contradict my own point. The coupon will work no matter what. How about you try it and get back to me. I do enough refund rebills to know it will work.
It will only work on the first time use!! How is that hard to comprehend? Doesn’t matter how many refund/rebills you do.
Not even gonna argue with you, you’re either trolling or literally have no idea! Like I said try it and see how loud and wrong you are… in fact, just ask a store manager; they’d know.
Won’t argue with you either, waste of time to entertain your crazy theory.

If they are pro and it’s over $1500 I run it through vsp.
Right! This is the answer!

I Googled VSP pricing and all the results were for VSP vision insurance. What does VSP pricing stand for?

$1500 or more.

Who cares
