Program terms change frequently. Every record shows a verification status and links to the official program page — always confirm commission, cookie and eligibility with the merchant before you build content around them. Records marked as unverified sample data are placeholders for testing this directory and must not be treated as fact.
Overview
Lowe's is worth carrying mainly as a price-comparison partner: the same tool or appliance is often cheaper at one of the two big boxes, and a page that links both captures whichever the reader prefers. The cookie is extremely short, so this only works on pages where the reader is buying today, not researching for next month.
