Bid desk rules changing at Home Depot

[Jim S]

Was in this evening submitting a fairly large order to the Bid Desk at HD to get one of my projects started. They came back with a $100 discount on an $8000 order. I was stunned. The HD employee at the Bid Desk told me that they are in the process of totally changing the way they operate commercial sales. Too many consumers were receiving discounts thru friends, etc. Starting in September, pros will have to register like the paint program. The more you buy over time, the bigger the discount.
He also said that they were trying to stop taking Lowes coupons and no more military discounts.
