Lowes Gift Cards
From LoveToKnow Creditcards
Lowes gift cards allow people to make purchases at the Lowes home improvement store chain using a prepaid dollar amount. There are no restrictions on what a person can buy using these cards.
They make a good present for most anyone, but are especially appropriate as wedding or housewarming gifts since people can use them to help finance their remodeling projects. There are two different types of gift card available: the plastic gift card that resembles a credit card and the e-gift card.
Plastic Lowes Gift Cards
These gift cards are available in any amount from $5 to $5000. The cards can be purchased at any Lowes outlet or online through the Lowes website. There are over 20 different card designs available, including the following themes:
- New home
- Lunar new year
- Wedding
- Birthday
- NASCAR
- College football
- Christmas
- Thank you
There are also all-occasion cards with hardware images like hammers, or decorative images like flowers.
Customized Cards
People ordering these gift cards online can add a customized paper greeting card, or Greeting-Gift card, with the gift card tucked inside for an extra charge. People who simply order the plastic card are only charged for the value they put on it. There are no shipping or transaction fees. The cards do not expire. They ship in about five business days and can ship overnight for an extra charge.
e-Gift Cards
These cards, which are sent via email through cardways.com, can be ordered in denominations from $5 to $100 and are delivered within 24 hours. This is a good option for those very last minute shoppers. The recipient is sent an email that contains a gift card number and PIN and an optional special greeting.
Corporate Orders
People who wish to order Lowes gift cards in large quantities can take advantage of a corporate discount. The amount of the discount is based on the total dollar amount purchased. If a company would like to use the gift cards as promotions, a representative must contact Lowes at corpgc@lowes.com before using the Lowes logo or trademarks in any advertising materials.
Using the Card
To use the card, all the cardholder has to do is present the card at checkout at any Lowes store or type in the gift card number and PIN while making a purchase online. People with e-Gift cards can redeem them at Lowes stores. They are asked to bring in a printout with the cards’ details and present it to the checker.
If a person is making a purchase for less than the gift card’s total value, the balance will simply decline by the purchase amount and he or she can use the rest of the money at a later date. He or she can also use the card to partially finance a more expensive purchase. The cards are also reloadable, so a person can add more value at any time.
Lost or Stolen Cards
If a Lowes gift card is lost or stolen it is difficult to replace it. A person can only do so if he or she has a copy of a receipt that displays the remaining balance. If no one has used the card, the original purchase receipt may be acceptable. Details are available at any Lowes outlet or by calling 1-877-665-6937.
Checking the Balance
These cards do not have their balances printed on them, but the materials that come with them should tell the recipient how much they are worth. If this is not the case a person can check the balance online or by phone. There is a balance checker in the lower left corner of the Lowes gift card home page and the phone number for checking balances is 1-800-560-7172. The card owner must have the card number and the PIN handy.
They can also go to the customer service desk at a Lowes retail store and ask a representative to scan their gift card for them.
