How Do I Request a Refund to a Gift Card from Lowe's?
If you need to return something you bought with a Lowe's gift card, you can get a refund if you send the purchase back within 90 days of the purchase, in most cases. Some purchases have 48-hour, 30-day or 365-day return periods. Items purchased online can be shipped or brought to a store. Items purchased at a store must be returned to a store.
If you bought something using your Lowe's gift card and the purchase didn't work out like you hoped, you're probably wondering how you can get a refund applied to your gift card. This article will show you how to do that.
Lowe's Refund Policy
As a general rule, you can get a refund for any Lowe's purchase, for any reason, if you return it before 90 days have passed. The purchase must be in new and unused condition. The return should be accompanied by the receipt. The refund will be issued in the form of store credit on a refund card.
There are some exceptions to this time frame, though. Major appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators and ovens must have the return initiated within 48 hours to qualify for a refund. TVs and other household electronics, as well as outdoor power equipment, plumbing, air conditioners, and vehicles must be returned within 30 days. If your purchase was made with a Lowe's Commercial Account, Lowe's Business Rewards, Lowe's Business Advantage, or Lowe's Advantage Card, you have 365 days to make the return.
