## What is Lowe's?

Lowe's is an American home improvement retailer that opened its first store in 1921 in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and is headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina. The company sells tools, appliances, building materials, and home products to homeowners and professionals through its big-box stores and lowes.com.

Lowe's Companies, Inc. was established as a North Carolina corporation in 1952 and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LOW, where it is a component of the S&P 500. It is one of the largest home improvement retailers in the United States, serving both do-it-yourself shoppers and professional contractors.

## What is Lowe's known for?

Lowe's is known for home improvement and building products sold to homeowners and professionals, in warehouse-format stores and on lowes.com. The catalog spans major appliances, power and hand tools, lumber and building materials, paint, flooring, lighting, and a full garden center, alongside installation services and the Lowe's Pro program for trade buyers.

- Major appliances from LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, and GE, with delivery and haul-away

## Current cashback rate

Flat percentage back on qualifying Lowe's orders; see the live rate on ShopBack.

<!--rate-stamp:lowes:start-->Live rate: see the current Lowe's rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Lowe's page at www.shopback.com.<!--rate-stamp:lowes:end-->

Lowe's cashback on ShopBack is a single flat percentage applied to qualifying lowes.com orders, calculated on the order subtotal excluding fees, taxes, service charges, shipping, and delivery. Lumber is excluded, as are gift card, voucher, and store credit purchases and redemptions. Orders using vouchers or promo codes not featured on ShopBack do not earn. Cashback may track at a different rate at first and adjust once the transaction is confirmed. The current rate is on the live ShopBack Lowe's page.

## How do you save money at Lowe's?

Start every lowes.com order from the Lowe's page on ShopBack, because clicking through first is what lets the flat cashback track on top of the shelf price. Activation is free and takes one click, and the current rate is shown on the live ShopBack Lowe's page before you shop. Note that lumber is excluded from the cashback offer.

Stack Lowe's own price mechanics next: Lowe's runs weekly deals and Deal of the Day markdowns, price-matches identical in-stock items from qualifying competitors, and the MyLowe's Rewards program earns points and member offers. Cashback is calculated on the price you actually pay, so a weekly-deal price combines with the ShopBack rate on one order.

Time larger projects to Lowe's event weeks. Spring brings the strongest patio, grill, and garden pricing, appliance discounts peak around Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday deliver the deepest tool and appliance bundles. The sales calendar below lists the recurring pattern.

## Lowe's deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback?

The strongest Lowe's deals are usually not codes at all: a Lowe's sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top.

To see today's Lowe's deals in one place, open the Lowe's page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own Lowe's sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest.

## How to earn cashback at Lowe's

1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant.
2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account.
3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order.
4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal.

## When are the best times to buy at Lowe's?

- SpringFest (March through May): Lowe's spring flagship event, with the strongest pricing of the season on patio furniture, grills, plants, and outdoor power equipment.
- Memorial Day appliance sale (Late May): One of the biggest appliance markdown windows of the year on refrigerators, laundry, and kitchen packages from LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool.
- Fourth of July sale (Late June into early July): Appliance, tool, and grill discounts timed to the holiday, overlapping with mid-July competitor sale events.
- Labor Day sale (Late August into early September): Appliance and outdoor power equipment markdowns as the summer season closes and fall project inventory arrives.
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Throughout November): The deepest tool bundle and appliance pricing of the year, including CRAFTSMAN and DEWALT kits, extending online through Cyber Monday.

## Is Lowe's legit and safe to shop at?

Lowe's is one of the most established retailers in the United States: its first store opened in 1921, it was established as a North Carolina corporation in 1952, and it has traded on the New York Stock Exchange as LOW as a component of the S&P 500. It is one of the largest home improvement retailers in the country, serving homeowners and professionals each week.

Online orders on lowes.com are protected by standard purchase safeguards: encrypted checkout, order tracking, and a published return window on most items, returnable at any US Lowe's store or by mail. Lowe's Advantage cardholders get an extended return window on eligible purchases.

Cashback on Lowe's orders through ShopBack adds no risk to the purchase itself. The order is placed on lowes.com at Lowe's prices; ShopBack is paid a referral commission by the merchant and shares it with the member, which is the same mechanic used across all ShopBack partner merchants.

## What are Lowe's shipping, returns, and payment options?

Shipping: Lowe's offers free store and curbside pickup on most in-stock items ordered on lowes.com, often ready the same day. As of August 2026, many parcel items ship to your home, while bulk building materials, lumber, and major appliances use scheduled truck or appliance delivery priced by item and distance.

Returns: Most new, unused items can be returned within Lowe's published return window, at any US Lowe's store or by mail, with proof of purchase. Lowe's Advantage cardholders get an extended window on eligible items, and some categories carry exceptions. Rejected, cancelled, refunded, or returned orders do not earn ShopBack cashback.

Payments: Lowe's accepts major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Lowe's gift cards, plus the Lowe's Advantage Card and project financing for larger jobs. Note that lumber, gift card purchases, and orders paid with a redeemed gift card do not earn ShopBack cashback, and codes not featured on ShopBack can void it.
