I did go to a store in person today and the price was prorated. I was able to return the battery and get a refund.
The online price (today) is not prorated, so I assume it is not hackable.

Afaik this is hackable. What would the prorated cost for Jigsaw and router be if the batteries are returned? I assume about ~$85 each post tax.

Lowes does not prorate the free gifts. I stand corrected!

As of last month, online (including store pickup) orders are not prorated on the receipt. It turns out that in-store receipts now have free gifts prorated, based upon posts below.

i liked the acme version of the promo better. $174 for 1 battery set with 1 "free" tool, or if you buy about $500 of dewalt stuff, it was $300 for 2 battery sets and 2 free tools. there were more tool options too, like grinder and a vac. it came out $75 a piece (battery set or tool).

Interesting. It's certainly not my experience online from two BOGO purchases in the last month. Based upon the receipt in Reddit, they calculate the prorated values the same way as Home Depot (which is the most logical way).

Based upon the above, if you purchased the battery kit ($279) and selected the router ($219) and jigsaw ($219), the breakdown should be as follows:
  • Battery kit: $ 279 x $279 / ($279 + $219 + $219) = $108.56
  • Router: $279 x $219 / ($279 + $219 + $219) = $85.22
  • Jigsaw: $279 x $219 / ($279 + $219 + $219) = $85.22
So yes, $85 is on the mark.

it also requires the cashier to not give a shit. my local store will not allow returns under any circumstance unless you return the ENTIRE bundle. people have tried all sorts of excuses here, and every time they're just told to go pound sand. similar story at my local home depot. the newer cashiers sometimes let you return pieces of bundles because they don't know what's going on, but the more seasoned employers will turn you away

but with home depot, you don't actually have to return anything. you can arrange bundle for pick up with items going to different stores. pick up the piece of the bundle you want at your store, then let the other item expire and get cancelled at some other store. can't do that with lowes

Correct, these can be hacked IN-STORE ONLY. Online order it basically rings up as a single sku and can't be returned separate.

Without double checking your math, yes. Regardless that is the formula.

I wouldn't say not give a shit, but I guess these turn into a YMMV situation, unfortunately, if they've been told by higher ups (like manager, as this is NOT a national trend).
And yes, Home Depot you can get around a manager on their high horse by getting half shipped to another store, this requires a Lowe's employee to actually return your item.

Good luck to anyone trying this out!!

We definitely prorate the free gifts. You also need proof of purchase for any return.

It seems that Lowes have worked out that it makes good economic sense to sell BOGO packages this way. They get the gifts free from the manufacturer, sell part of the BOGO prorated and get to keep the prorated part.

This is both good and bad news: Good news because we get more choice and better deals. Bad news because the thumbdown crowd is going to go ballistic.

A little off topic but is there an easy way to pull these deals on the phone when you have Lowe's app? All links just pull the app up to the homepage and I have to search it out

Using the app, search for item 1138408 and it will be the first result.

Why do these deals seem to never include a drill/driver combo as an option?

I need a couple extra batteries & could use a new circular saw & router. Is this considered a good deal?
