Fact or Fiction: Footlocker Offers Military Discount?!

FACT!

Footlocker.com currently offers a 10% military discount! The Promotion Code for the 10% military discount is LKS4AFD.

Fact or Fiction: Cabela's has a Military Discount?

FICTION! Cabela's does not routinely offer a military discount. According to a Cabela's customer service representative, "The stores have, on occasion, had a special day, or weekend, when they honored persons in the armed forces, police and fire fighters. This isn't done on a regular schedule, however." You can always be proactive and ask the manager of your local Cabela's store about offering a discount. Contact information for your closest Cabela's retail store can be found here.

Fact or Fiction-Military Discount and Lowes?

Fiction-Unfortunately, Lowes Home Improvement store does not offer any sort of advertised military discount at this time. However, last year Lowes did offer a discount on Veteran's Day so there is a possibility that some sort of discount may be offered on Memorial Day. The customer care representative that I spoke to also noted that Lowe's managers can provide a military discount at their discretion-so be proactive when shopping at Lowes. Find the manager, show them your military ID, and ask for a discount. You may be pleasantly surprised! If you would like to suggest to Lowes that they consistently offer a military discount, you can call customer care at 1-800-445-6937 or email them at customercare@lowes.com. For those of you that prefer to write a letter, you can mail the letter to Lowe's Companies Inc. Po Box 1111 North Wilkesboro, NC 28656-0001.

Fact or Fiction

This daily post will be designed to confirm or deny whether restaurants, shops, department stores etc. offer a valid military discount. I will be providing information about the discount amount, how to go about receiving the discount, and how often the discount is offered. If a store does not currently provide a discount for our troops, I will be researching the appropriate contact address in order to encourage my readers to write letters or emails asking these companies to provide a discount for military personnel and their families. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions!
