Get Started Here
Your **MyLowe's Rewards Credit Card®** (issued by Synchrony Bank) isn't just for big projects — it's a year-round savings tool. Every season brings its own sales events, clearance rotations, and project opportunities at Lowe's, and knowing when to shop — and what to buy — lets you stack your card's rewards on top of the best prices of the year. Here's your seasonal playbook. Activate your card or manage your account at [lowes.syf.com/activate](https://lowes.syf.com/activate). *** ## Seasonal Savings by the Calendar ### Spring: Refresh, Plant, and Prep the Exterior Spring is the busiest season in home improvement, and for good reason — mild weather makes it ideal for outdoor work, and Lowe's stocks its garden center, outdoor furniture, and exterior paint sections to the brim. As a cardholder, you're positioned to earn the most rewards during one of the highest-spend seasons of the year. *** #### 🌱 Garden Center **Best time to buy:** March through May Spring is prime season for seeds, mulch, soil, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Lowe's garden center expands significantly in early March, and inventory turns over quickly — the best selections go fast. Visit the garden center mid-week when shipments arrive and markdowns are freshest. Early-season perennials sell out, but late-season clearance can get you deep discounts on remaining stock. **Cardholder advantage:** Earn rewards on every bag of mulch, every flat of annuals, and every bag of potting soil. A full spring landscaping haul adds up to meaningful rewards points you can apply to summer projects. *** #### 🪑 Outdoor Furniture **Best time to buy:** Late March through April (for full selection); late May for early clearance Patio furniture collections arrive in late winter and sell through by early summer. If you want a full matching set — sectional, dining table, chairs, and accessories — shop early in the season. If you can wait, late May often brings the first wave of outdoor furniture markdowns as Lowe's rotates to summer inventory. Combine those savings with your card's rewards for maximum value. **Cardholder advantage:** Patio furniture sets are often high-ticket items, making them an efficient way to earn a large rewards haul in a single transaction. Watch your cardholder email for spring outdoor events that include bonus offers. *** #### 🎨 Exterior Paint **Best time to buy:** April through early June (before summer heat sets in) Exterior painting requires temperatures above 50°F with low humidity — spring is the sweet spot in most regions. Lowe's runs spring paint promotions, and exterior paint purchased on your card earns rewards on every gallon. Buy all the paint you'll need for the project in one transaction rather than returning for extra cans. Color lots can vary between batches, and a single purchase maximizes your rewards earning. **Cardholder advantage:** Paint, primer, brushes, rollers, drop cloths, and painter's tape all earn rewards. A full exterior painting project — even a DIY one — can generate a solid rewards balance for your next purchase. *** #### ✅ Spring Cardholder Checklist Stock up on mulch, soil, and garden supplies early for the best selection. Shop outdoor furniture in April for full selection, or late May for first markdowns. Buy all exterior paint in one transaction to earn maximum rewards and avoid color-lot mismatches. Check the MyLowe's app for personalized spring promotions before you shop. ### Summer: Entertain, Cool Down, and Go Big Outdoors Summer is peak outdoor living season. Grills, air conditioners, pool supplies, and outdoor project materials are all in full stock, and Lowe's runs major promotional events around Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Your card lets you turn all of that spending into rewards. *** #### 🔥 Grills & Outdoor Cooking **Best time to buy:** Pre-Memorial Day for full selection; post-July 4th for clearance Lowe's carries gas grills, charcoal grills, pellet smokers, pizza ovens, and all the accessories that go with them. The selection peaks before Memorial Day weekend, when Lowe's typically runs its largest grill sales of the year. Buy your grill before Memorial Day weekend to take advantage of sale pricing and full accessory availability. Post-July 4th clearance events can offer significant discounts on remaining inventory if you're flexible on model. **Cardholder advantage:** Grills are high-ticket items that earn strong rewards in a single purchase. Accessories — covers, griddle inserts, utensil sets, propane — add to your total and keep earning after the grill itself is home. *** #### ❄️ Cooling & Air Conditioning **Best time to buy:** May through early June (before the heat wave rush) Window air conditioners, portable AC units, and whole-home cooling systems are in high demand during summer. Shopping before the first major heat wave means you avoid stock shortages and inflated demand pricing. If your central air is aging, have it inspected in the spring. Replacing it proactively in early summer — rather than mid-August when it fails — gives you the time to shop for the best unit and finance the cost on your terms. **Cardholder advantage:** Central air systems and heat pumps are among the largest purchases you can make at Lowe's, generating significant rewards in a single transaction. Special financing makes a planned replacement manageable even in the summer rush. *** #### 🏊 Pool & Outdoor Water Supplies **Best time to buy:** May through June for full inventory; late August for clearance Whether you're maintaining an in-ground pool, setting up an above-ground pool, or just adding a backyard splash pad for the kids, Lowe's carries the chemicals, equipment, and accessories you need. Buy pool chemicals in bulk early in the season. Prices rise mid-summer when demand peaks. A single bulk purchase earns more rewards than several smaller trips. **Cardholder advantage:** Seasonal pool supplies bought in bulk in May or June earn rewards upfront, and late-August clearance on pool equipment can offer steep discounts you can stack with your rewards balance. *** #### 🏗️ Outdoor Project Materials **Best time to buy:** June through August (best weather, full lumber and material stock) Deck builds, pergola installations, fence repairs, and landscaping projects are best executed in summer when weather is predictably dry. Lumber, concrete, pavers, and hardware are all fully stocked. Consolidate all your deck or fence materials into one project order. A single large purchase earns more points per trip and lets you use any available cardholder financing promotion efficiently. **Cardholder advantage:** Lumber, hardware, concrete, stain, and finish — all earn rewards. Outdoor builds are among the highest-spend projects of any season, making summer a top rewards-earning period. *** #### ✅ Summer Cardholder Checklist Shop grills before Memorial Day for the best selection and sale pricing. Buy AC units before the first heat wave to avoid stock shortages. Stock up on pool chemicals in bulk in May or June for the lowest seasonal prices. Plan deck and outdoor builds for June–August and consolidate materials into single purchases. Check your cardholder email for Fourth of July and Labor Day promotional offers. ### Fall: Prepare, Weatherize, and Tool Up Fall is the smart homeowner's secret season. As summer inventory clears out and Lowe's prepares for winter stock, you'll find excellent clearance pricing on outdoor items while fall-specific categories — heating equipment, weatherization materials, and tools — hit full availability. It's also the best time to prep your home before cold weather arrives. *** #### 🔥 Heating Prep **Best time to buy:** September through October Furnaces, space heaters, fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and pellet stoves are fully stocked in early fall — and before cold weather drives demand up. Getting ahead of the first freeze means you have your pick of equipment and installation slots. Schedule furnace service or replacement in September, not December. HVAC technicians are less busy, installation lead times are shorter, and you avoid emergency-rate premiums. **Cardholder advantage:** Heating equipment purchases are large-dollar transactions that generate strong rewards. Financing a furnace or fireplace insert in fall lets you spread payments over the winter without touching your holiday budget. *** #### 🪟 Weatherization **Best time to buy:** September through November Weatherstripping, door sweeps, window film, caulk, insulation, and foam sealants are all in full supply in fall. Sealing your home before the cold arrives is one of the highest-ROI home improvements you can make — and the materials are relatively inexpensive, making them ideal for earning everyday rewards. Do a full weatherization sweep of your home — every door, window, and attic hatch — in a single weekend. Buy all the materials in one trip to consolidate your rewards earning and keep the project moving. **Cardholder advantage:** While individual weatherization items are low-cost, buying them all at once and combining them with other fall purchases builds your rewards balance efficiently. *** #### 🔧 Tools **Best time to buy:** October through November (pre-holiday tool events) Fall is a peak season for tool deals at Lowe's, particularly in October and early November before Black Friday. Tool brands run promotions on power tool kits, hand tools, and accessories — and Lowe's cardholder events often layer on additional savings. If you've been holding off on a new drill/driver kit, miter saw, or pressure washer, fall tool events are the best time to buy. Compare the bundle kits — they often include batteries and cases that cost more purchased separately. **Cardholder advantage:** Power tool kits are high-value purchases that earn solid rewards in a single transaction. Watch your cardholder email for fall tool promotions exclusive to MyLowe's Rewards Credit Card® holders. *** #### ✅ Fall Cardholder Checklist Schedule and purchase heating equipment in September — before cold weather demand spikes. Do a full weatherization sweep in one trip to consolidate rewards earning. Shop fall tool events in October for the best pre-holiday deals on power tools. Clear out summer outdoor furniture at clearance prices before the season ends. Log into the MyLowe's app to find personalized fall promotions on your most-purchased categories. ### Winter: Light Up, Go Indoors, and Win Black Friday Winter doesn't slow down the smart Lowe's cardholder — it redirects the focus indoors and toward the year's biggest sales events. Holiday lighting, indoor improvement projects, and Black Friday appliance deals make winter one of the highest-value seasons for rewards earning. *** #### 💡 Holiday Lighting **Best time to buy:** Early November (for full selection); post-Christmas (for steep clearance) Lowe's carries a wide range of indoor and outdoor holiday lighting, inflatables, garland, and décor. Early November gives you the full selection before popular items sell out. After Christmas, clearance prices on lighting and décor can hit 50–75% off — perfect for stocking up for next year. Buy LED string lights and outdoor projectors after Christmas when prices drop dramatically. Store them and start next holiday season ahead of budget, having earned rewards on the purchase too. **Cardholder advantage:** Holiday décor purchases earn rewards that typically post just before your post-holiday spending ramps up — a nice way to build a balance you can apply to a January indoor project. *** #### 🏠 Indoor Projects **Best time to start:** November through February Cold weather keeps you inside, which makes it the perfect time for indoor projects: painting interior walls, replacing interior doors and trim, upgrading lighting fixtures, refreshing bathroom vanities, or installing new flooring in bedrooms. Use your rewards balance accumulated from fall purchases to offset the cost of winter indoor projects — turning your outdoor prep spending into interior upgrades. **Cardholder advantage:** Interior paint, lighting fixtures, flooring, and trim all earn rewards at Lowe's. Winter is a low-competition time for Lowe's installation services, meaning faster scheduling and sometimes better pricing. *** #### 🛒 Black Friday Appliance Deals **Best time to buy:** Thanksgiving week through Cyber Monday Black Friday is the single best day of the year to buy major appliances at Lowe's. Refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, washers, and dryers all see significant markdowns — and Lowe's typically stacks cardholder promotions on top of the sale pricing. Preview the Lowe's Black Friday ad online before the event and identify the appliances on your list. Set up deal alerts in the MyLowe's app so you're notified the moment pricing drops. **Cardholder advantage:** Combining Black Friday pricing with your card's rewards earning — and any special financing promotions active during the event — makes this the highest-value shopping moment of the year for large appliance purchases. A washer/dryer set or refrigerator purchased during Black Friday at sale price, with rewards and financing, is significantly cheaper than buying the same item in March. *** #### ✅ Winter Cardholder Checklist Shop holiday lighting in early November for full selection, or post-Christmas for clearance deals. Use accumulated fall rewards to fund indoor winter projects. Preview the Lowe's Black Friday ad and set MyLowe's app alerts for appliance deals. Check for special financing promotions active during Thanksgiving week. Plan indoor projects for January and February — installer availability is at its best. *** ## Year-Round Strategies for Cardholder Savings Beyond seasonal timing, these three habits will help you maximize your card's value no matter what month it is. ### 📧 Sign Up for Lowe's Promotional Emails Your MyLowe's Rewards Credit Card® account gives you access to cardholder-exclusive email promotions that go beyond the standard Lowe's weekly flyer. These emails include bonus rewards events, early access to sales, and financing promotions tied to specific product categories. Make sure your email address is current in your Synchrony account at [lowes.syf.com/activate](https://lowes.syf.com/activate) so you don't miss cardholder-exclusive offers. To get the most out of promotional emails: 1. **Whitelist the Lowe's sender address** so offers don't land in spam. 2. **Read them before you shop** — not after. A cardholder offer you discover after a purchase can't be applied retroactively. 3. **Note expiration dates** and plan your trip accordingly. *** ### 📱 Use the MyLowe's App for Personalized Deals The MyLowe's app pulls your purchase history and browsing behavior to surface deals that are actually relevant to your home and projects — not just generic flyers. As a cardholder, you unlock an additional layer of personalized promotions tied directly to your rewards account. Enable push notifications in the MyLowe's app so you receive real-time alerts when deals appear in categories you care about. Key app features for cardholders: * **Purchase history** — find past receipts, model numbers, and paint colors instantly. * **Personalized deals** — offers based on what you actually buy, not generic promotions. * **Rewards balance** — check your current balance and see how close you are to your next redemption threshold. * **Product availability** — confirm an item is in stock at your local store before you make the trip. *** ### 🔁 Stack Card Rewards With Clearance Events The highest-value moments for your card come when you combine three things: **a clearance or sale price, your card's rewards earning, and an active financing promotion**. This triple-stack is available multiple times per year if you know when to look. Buy clearance-priced items on your card to earn rewards on already-reduced merchandise. Your points are calculated on the purchase price, not the original MSRP — so every clearance deal still earns. Time a large purchase — appliances, flooring, HVAC — to coincide with a Lowe's sale event while a financing promotion is active. You get a lower total cost and spread payments over time. Let rewards accumulate through a project season, then redeem them during a clearance event to stretch your balance even further. A $20 reward applied to a clearance item priced down from $80 is a powerful combination. *** ## Quick Reference: Best Times to Buy | Category | Peak Season | Best Sale Timing | | -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Garden & Landscaping | Spring (Mar–May) | Late May clearance | | Outdoor Furniture | Spring–Summer | Late May / Labor Day | | Grills | Summer | Pre-Memorial Day / Post-July 4th | | Air Conditioners | Summer | Early season (May–June) | | Exterior Paint | Spring | April–May promotions | | Heating Equipment | Fall | September–October | | Weatherization | Fall | September–November | | Power Tools | Fall–Winter | October tool events / Black Friday | | Major Appliances | Year-round | Black Friday / Holiday events | | Holiday Décor | Winter | Post-Christmas clearance | *** Credit is issued by Synchrony Bank.
