I've tried two different cards and keep getting cancelled due to unable to authenticate

Did you accept the cookies? Did you try another browser? I used my iPhone to place the order thru the Lowes app using my Apple credit card thru ApplePay to get an additional 2% cashback.

It's also some third party I've never heard of. I'm out...

I assume this is a real thing since it's on Lowe's website, and I've never heard of buyatab, but they have a lot of 1 star google reviews from people who paid for a card they did not receive. You could also make the argument that the only people who bother to leave a review for a gift card vendor are people who had trouble.

Thanks for the tip! Worked great for me this morning. Got a spool of romex and some miscellaneous parts I needed anyway.

LOL!
But what I was questioning was the difference between the CARBON steel blades (not CARBIDE) and DRYWALL blades (which are also CARBON steel according to the description). They're both the same price.

I decided to not be so lazy and look it up. Here's what I found:

What Is a Drywall Utility Blade?​

A drywall utility blade is a trapezoidal-shaped blade designed specifically for cutting drywall sheets (also known as sheetrock or gypsum board).
It fits standard utility knives but differs from general-purpose or heavy-duty blades in three ways:

  1. Edge Geometry: The bevel angle is optimized for light scoring rather than deep cutting.
  2. Tougher Tempering: Slightly softer steel (often SK5 or equivalent) increases chip resistance.
  3. Fine Deburring: The edges are polished to glide smoothly through drywall paper.
Result: cleaner cuts, less re-scoring, and longer blade life.

Worked for me and turned around and immediately ordered online with both the $200 and $40 egift cards, no issues here.
How quickly did you get the card? I ordered around noon, five hours later still have not received a receipt, gift card, or bonus. Charge went through, verified on the bank site, but I have received nothing. Tried calling them, after waiting on hold an hour left a message for call back but have not received a call back. Emailed them, got a confirmation of the email receipt, but no response.

Hopefully this will be resolved and it is just there is too much volume today.

They texted me a confirmation that i had to reply Y to after i placed the order. Really wonky but after that it was seconds till both cards showed up in my email. Text said they would cancel the order if i didn't reply within 15 minutes.
Probably gift cards are very fraud heavy so they do extra stuff to validate.

Within 5 minutes. It even emailed me saying I viewed the gift cards.

Now I know why I **** at sheet rocking!……… I have been using the wrong blade! :lol_hitti

BTW! I purchased 3 Carbide blades (150 total) and the one blade at a time dispenser is the best!

I was finally able to purchase a Lowe's gift card. Did nothing different, just tried to purchase it again before the end of the deal.
I had tried two different cards, a phone and computer, self delivery and gift for someone.
No clue, just worked this time.

I tried different cards, email addresses, nothing worked for me. I eventually did get "unable to authenticate" emails, even though the credit card sites were confirming the purchase was authorized each time.

CRAFTSMAN 28 -Piece Standard (SAE) and Metric 1/2-in Drive Set 6-point Impact Socket Set

This was $41.52 at Oak Park Heights, MN. Normally $166.
One still on the shelf there in the main tool section, not the back aisle. Has the yellow tag. Price not appearing on website, though.
Maybe other stores regionally have the deal, YMMV of course!

This Craftsman box is currently close to 40% off through the end of the month

I got one today as a home for my 3D printers. Was looking for a shallower box around 3 feet wide and this one fit the bill (it's 18" deep). Definitely on the lighter duty side (casters are a bit wobbly) but it's got ball bearing self-closing drawer slides. For the price, I'm satisfied with it.

up high down low
The store in Milford, MA had some "built-in" air conditioners on clearance at 50% off (the "original" prices seemed awfully high):

The also had a few boxes of tow straps, with hooks attached on both ends, 75% off...

Even the clearance price on the 10,000 BTU A/C units seems high.

Lots of Dewalt bits in the deal of the day 1/20/26. I’ve had good luck with them. Bosch nail guns as well.

Edited to correct the date.

Lowes is odd. In my "deals of the day" section when I log in, there isn't one single Dewalt Product. And no bosch nail guns. There are a couple of Metabo nail guns. It must be a regional thing.

I think he meant 1/20/2026, those were yesterday's deals

man.... you've got a Lowes with some inventory! My local store only has 5 of 2.5Ah batteries in stock... nothing with any more Ah.
I ordered one one of those right at the deadline. I just had one of my old ones **** out, which means the other one i got at the same time inst likely far behind And this is the big boy battery. The smaller ones still appear to be discounted.

That inventory is in the warehouse. I don't have it in my possession yet. It won't be available at my store till Friday.
