Purchase $50 Lowe's gift cards for only $40

[Strouty]

Gift cards are a money maker for stores for two reasons. One is that they get the cash with no cost up front, like an interest free loan. The other is that probably only 75% of them get spent.

So I'm sure Lowe's has made a deal with this store, but I also imagine that this store may be losing some money to help draw people into their store to spend more.

I bet it is way less than 75%. My guess is that it is probably 50% get spent entirely, 25% get lost or forgotten about, and the rest sit with partial balances on them.

I haven't been in to verify, but it seems they are 50 dollar gift cards for 45 this year.

Well dang that doesn't do as much for me... If I had a big ticket item it would be worth the haste but right now I don't even have anything I am wanting, guess that means I should hold off and let someone who does have a big ticket item take advantage of this offer.

OK I just got a $50 gift card for Father's day. I don't shop at Lowes for anything except lumber etc. So what's a good deal there tools wise? I have all the usual (and more) tools like sockets, wrenches, etc. What I'm buying lately is the bigger shop equipment from HF like the shop press, motorcycle bead breaker, engine hoist- that sorta thing. Hmm, maybe I should buy that Bosch PS21 driver I've been considering for the last couple of years. Need ideas to burn the $50

Off the top of my head
$199 for impact and drill 18v
$99 for just the 18v drill
$10 for kobalt 3pc vise grips
$10 for kobalt 3pc channel locks
$25 for dewalt 100 piece drill bit set
$10 for kobalt 3pc socket trays
$15-$20 for spark plug kit
Knipex is available at Lowes, for now anyways.

Countless other deal until July 6/7.

Hope that helps.

I just went to the local Michaels and they were $45 for 50. The ads here (Virginia Beach) say the same. You guys are some lucky bastards! Not really worth it here to spend gas for an extra 5%. I also don't think you can stack the 5% from the Lowes card since you have to use it to get the 5% off. Not sure if they will just take 5% off if you have it but don't use it.

ummmmm that would be 10%

LOL I really screwed everyoe up by pulling up an old thread for this.....

Last year it was $40 off $50 (everywhere in the US)

This year it is $45 off $50 (everywhere in the US)

You can not use the Lowes CC 5% discount, but you can use other Lowes coupons that you might have such as the 10% off which have become rare but do exist still.

I also agree driving there for 1 or 2 cards isn't worth while, however if you are about to buy $5,000 worth of carpet or something from Lowes it is worth it. Even more so since Michaels are typically close to Lowes for some reason... (mine is across the street and last year when I bought all I could from every store I noticed they all had a lowes with in a mile or 2 from them).

Yes you did.

Yes you did.

+1, but maybe things can be turned around.

At the link I am noticing a HD $25 gift card for $15 at Save A Lot.
Anyone try to buy one or are they all sold out ?

They were sold out of all the sale cards the day after the promotion began here in DE.

It wad cash or debit only at my local store.

Sometimes those Coinstar machines will have deals going where you can put in $40 in coins and get a $50 gift card. I think Lowes was one of the stores

 

[tinkergeek]

You had me going there on the deal from last year.

This year the Michael's ad also has a limit of 4 cards per transaction per day. The way it is written suggests that multiple transactions are still possible. Manager may dispute.

However 45 for 50 is still 10% off.

The Michael's ad also has a 50% off one item at regular price - which the OP in another thread pointed out can be used for brand name batteries. The largest packs are 8 packs at local store. Works out ok if it is a low effort buy.

(Can't find the old post office Lowes coupons in St Louis any more - just the new code for the website - any images of the old one available?)

ummmmm that would be 10%

Yea, well I have the Lowes card which saves me 5%. So going out to Michaels and buying it only saves me 10%, 5% of which I would have saved anyway by just using my Lowes card at lowes. Hence, I am gaining 5% by going to Michaels, and the gas etc is not really worth it. The 40 for 50 I would have jumped on since that would be a 20% off deal.

Anyone know if you can show your lowes card and still get an extra 5% and then use a gift card to pay?

Although I don't really ever say this, your intentions were good and that's all that matters. Thank you though, I did buy 4 cards. Maybe I can get a military friend to go with me and bring the savings up to 20%.

I didn't notice the thread was from last year and found out today that it was for 45$. oh well. I was thinking of using the gift card to but the knipex that are on clearance

 

[Dennis93]

Exactly what I did. Still helps in this economy.
