As mentioned in my recent post about the Home Depot Pro Xtra loyalty program, I am a fan of the program.
The Home Depot Pro Xtra program offers customers a lot of benefits – Pro Xtra perks, paint rewards, a dedicated customer service line, and more. And, it’s all completely FREE to sign up.
Home Depot is sponsoring our Pro Xtra awareness campaign (thank you!), and so I thought it would be nice to hold a reader giveaway!

Before we get into the giveaway details, the biggest Pro Xtra benefit for me is how it makes my purchases easier to track.
About a year ago, I wanted to return something that I purchased with a gift card, but there was a problem – I lost my receipt, and the store couldn’t process my return without it.
Now, I have a new gift card to spend – thank you Home Depot! – and I was able to add it to my Pro Xtra account.
So, if I buy something with the gift card now, it’s logged to my account, making returns or customer service requests easier. This also helps me out when it’s time to go over my business expenses every quarter.
It might seem minor, but having all of my purchases in one place is a great convenience.
I have some shopping to do this weekend – I have a gift card in one hand, and a Pro Xtra coupon offer in the other. (The coupon offer is part of the “personalized offers” perk.)
Advertisement
There are a couple of tools that I’ve been looking to buy, and I have a growing list of supplies and accessories I need to pick up for spring 2022 projects.
My coupon offer is for $20 off $200. I wasn’t able to take advantage of the last offer, or the $15 off $150 before that, but $20 off tools I was planning to buy anyway will mean $20 extra I can spend on more tools and supplies.
The Pro Xtra program has been great for me over the years.

I would really like the benefit of being able to track my orders better and have a dedicated helpline. I ordered an impact wrench from home Depot last summer. Could not get a hold of anyone to find out when my package was going to show up. Two months later it canceled and had no way figuring out why. So I could not get the sale item. Having a dedicate line I think would really help out to fix that.
Rrich1
I like logging the purchases and making it easy for returns. I have used this function at other places without actually having to have a receipt and it’s been very helpful
Eric
I’ve had good success with their customer support – not sure if it’s actually dedicated to the Pro Xtra members or not, but they’ve always been very helpful and friendly. I’d use the gift card simply to offset the higher prices these days on everything!
Rob H
Tracking orders accurately is a big draw for me. Receipts are a pain to keep up with.
Koko The Talking Ape
Better order tracking sure would be worth it! I’ve had some bizarre things happen with mail orders lately.
Franck B.
I’m not entering the drawing, but I have to say that the best feature of Pro Xtra for me is that since our spend is high enough, I get a discount on darned near everything in the store. You can’t complain about that.
JMG
I simply wish that there was a Home Depot in the town I currently reside in, so that the program could be of use for me…
Stuart
There are still benefits for online shoppers, you just cannot use many/most of the coupon promos.
Mac
The online deals/discounts are generally way better than in store offerings anyway – except some of the in-store-only holiday buys. Almost anything stocked in-store is available online to be delivered. Not everything, but almost.
I would often window shop while grabbing supplies or something needed same day, but wait for the deal of the day or just get bare tool + free stuff (battery commonly) online for the exact price of the bare tool in store.
I randomly throw an old bosses phone number in for the purchase dollars towards their pro xtras. Half because I’m a nice guy and half as a force of habit
Matthew
Not sure if this is a perk but I’ve taken advantage of the weekly deals for the Pro Xtra members. I still check the daily deals but was surprised that there was weekly specials. I would use the gift card to get another Gen II M18 finish nailer.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Looking forward to this Pro Xtra membership perks in the future.
Aaron SD
Tracking purchases definitely a plus. The other benefit is I shop HD 99% of the time.
mattd
Tracking paint colors is an excellent perk of pro extra. It will make it super handy if in the future I run into a situation like I have now, where I repainted 7 years ago, and now have to repair a hole in the drywall and have no clue what paint color I have and will have to rely and hope that a color match works. If I win the gift card wit will go towards thinset and other tiling items, as I just bought the tile to redo my house but have not bought any of the other necessities for laying it yet.
Ted Lesch
The purchase tracking seems like the best feature to be able too look back at your purchases without having to keep all the paper receipts. I would definitely spend the $100 on some new tools, nothing specific in mind.
Scott K
The previous order tracking seems like a really helpful benefit. As you mentioned, things get tricky when purchases are made with gift cards and credits- this sounds smart. It would be really nice to have a simpler way to find purchases (I, too, rarely save receipts unless it’s for a big purchase).
Scott K
Oops- I accidentally submitted too soon. I’d love to put a gift card towards wood for a bookcase project and some power tool accessories that are due for a refresh.
DML
I like the purchase tracking feature you pointed out. I’d likely buy some mechanics tools for my 17-year-old son to use on his project car and get him started building a set.
Stacey Jones
The tracking feature would be nice! I’d spend it on a cordless angle grinder for my son and occasionally my use. I’m not sure whether to get a Milwaukee or Makita.
MoogleMan3
Thanks for the giveaway!
Purchase tracking is the big one for me. I use that probably more than any other feature.
As for the $100 gift card, it would go towards a cordless drill. I do already have an M12 installation driver, but would like to have another (or a basic drill) dedicated for drilling tasks.
MattW.
Id like more perks that put money in my pocket like %off coupons. Ive been going air compressor free latley and a 20v roofing nailer from dewalt would be great! 400+ dollars for something i use from time to time so 100 off would make that better.
Hank
Honestly, the purchase tracking would be a huge boon for me (I will actually go sign up right now!). My HD account does track purchases through my credit card, but I’ve noticed that it misses some here and there, for whatever reason.
With $100, I would buy a 1/2 sheet of ply. Sadly, right now, the most pressing thing I need to buy is a pneumatic staple gun. Not very exciting!
Kevin M Smith
Order tracking, most likely.
$100 might get me a couple 2×4’s.
Diego
It’s not even close, my favorite perk is the receipt logging. I’m horrible with receipts because they just end up crumpled in my pockets.
I’d use the gift card to buy some lumber to redo my deck this summer.
Chris
Definitely like the ability to view past items purchased and the free drink coupon is nice when it’s hot outside. Just wish one of the options for the view in-store receipt was to only show the barcode which would make it easier for returns.
Steve
Maybe the personalized offers would be even better then their normal emails, so I’ll go with that perk.
I would probably use it on a Dewalt tripod light or more batteries.
Garrett
Wood!
Frank D
Automatic receipt logging, making returns easier and maybe getting purchase tracking / various summaries which I track manually.
Any prize / discount would likely go towards something exciting that arrived in the packout isle 😉
KG
The periodic coupons are a big benefit and the reason I signed up. That said, the dedicated customer support is the surprisingly great benefit I’ve enjoyed they most. In truth, I’ve probably “saved” more in what that support has offered as solutions or recompense for the occasional issue with a purchase than the sum of all those coupons.
Paul
I also like the purchase tracking. I couldn’t remember the exact size of some hardware I purchased about a year ago, but was able to find it and purchase it again last month. Very convenient. If I won the $100, I have my eye on the Milwaukee stubby M12 impact wrench. Sweet!
salman saleem
I joined pro rewards xtra but it seems like my purchases are not counted towards that account as either i forget to use the card thats tied to that account or the cashier doesn’t enter my phone number.
Joel
I’m not an expert at materials estimating. Quite often I overestimate and have to return excess supplies. It’s nice to have all those purchases grouped together via HomeDepot ProXtra. I could use the gift card to purchase pavers and landscape blocks to finish my patio remodel.
salman saleem
Edit: please remove my previous comment:
I joined pro rewards xtra but it seems like my purchases are not counted towards that account as either i forget to use the card thats tied to that account or the cashier doesn’t enter my phone number.
With the $100 i would like to splurge on some milwaukee gear 🙂
John
Definitely the order tracking feature. Being able to see all purchase that I’ve made, regardless of payment type, in one area would be great.
Neal
I like the purchase tracking. I would spend the $100 on tools, as always.
Michael F
I really like the purchase tracking. It’s been really helpful to me personally, especially to go back later and grab invoices for tools I purchased in store. I’m in the process of buying a set of DeWalt Atomic tools with power stack batteries to help my father-in-law get his new farm started so I’d use the gift card to round out the set with the OMT and a recipe saw.
King duck
With out a doubt the extra savings and deals for pro extra are my favorite part
Christian F
I think the ability to track purchases is the biggest draw – especially as more companies move to digital receipts over paper. Being able to simply pull up previous purchases is great! As for the gift card, I’d use it to try out the new gear wrench ratchets.
Leo B.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! The idea of digital receipts and order tracking is pretty appealing, since it’d be helpful to complement my photo and serial number inventory of my cordless tools. Any purchases I made through Home Depot would be available, and if I needed to reference those for any reason, not trying to find a paper receipt would be very helpful. If I won, I’d help out some coworkers who could use some tools but are in tighter financial situations. I’d probably let my Dad pick out some stuff in store as well. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Brian Collins
Stuart,
Thanks for the giveaway.
I definitely need the receipt and order tracking for returns – I buy too much for projects and always have returns.
I’d spend the $100 on some Japanese pull saws and a dovetail cutting guide.
Thanks again!
Michael Quinlan
I’ve been a Pro Xtra member for years, and for me the biggest perk is purchase tracking and ease of returns. I often buy more materials than I need for a job so I don’t get caught short while working, and return the excess the first time I’m at the store after competing a job – and I NEVER need a receipt. The next best perk is emailed receipts, which I usually receive before I even get to my car. This is a great convenience when reconciling credit card statements.
What would I spend a $100 gift card on? Probably a 2nd Milwaukee M18 Rover light – something I could live without, but still benefit from.
Elrod B. Penwhistle
I would use the $100 Home Depot gift card toward purchase of two sheets of 3/4 AB plywood for a cabinet project I’ve been putting off because of plywood costs.
Brian
Purchase tracking would be huge – when you’re in the field all day, tracking receipts can be frustrating. Hopefully, their system will allow downloading these for inclusion into a spreadsheet and tax software…
Thanks for the giveaway!
Derek
My Home Depot is all of 2.5 miles from my house. Been a Pro Xtra Member for years and love it. It’s great getting the emailed receipts and not having to worry about what pocket I shoved a paper receipt in if I need to return something.
Only a DIY person but still hit some benefits last year for spending so much. Looking at this year I’m well ahead of pace to break last year’s spend. Maybe that’s why I’m so tired…
Derek
I realized I forgot to say what I would spend it on! Since the house projects never seem to end I’ve been trying to focus on buying things that will make me quicker and more efficient at doing them. I think with $100 I would use it towards a Milwaukee M12 drill/impact kit, a portable shop light or a Dewalt 20v leaf blower so I can stop getting tangled up in patio furniture and plants when I blow the leaves.
flipped
I havn’t had to return anything since I joined up, but those bonus coupons they send are a nice perk. If I happened to get the gift card, I’d probably get one of those XL Packout boxes; I’m just starting to get some Packout storage
tom
love the tracking and would spend the gift card on the dewalt 20v barrell-grip jigsaw
Patrick
Purchase tracking would be a godsend. I definitely appreciate when tracking is done with little effort on purchases for warranty and return purposes.
As for what to buy…My M12 collection needs a few more additions. Maybe the new fan.
David
I’m finding myself agreeing with the bulk of commenters – the tracking would be nice. As for how I’d spent an extra $100? I’m running power for my 220v tools in my shop, and it would go right into wire, receptacles, and breakers so I can bring the rest of my tools online.
Josh
Tracking purchases is great especially when it comes time to do the expense reports for work, it’s a nice back up in case a receipt gets misplaced or deleted from email. Being able to group expenses based on job name is nice for longer projects. The Pro Special Buy of the day or week is also a nice perk.
As to spending a gift card, I’d probably put it towards the DeWalt trim router.
Eugene
The receipt and order history is really useful and I don’t use the perks because I don’t shop there enough anymore but coupons are always appreciated. I’d likely get the dewalt 20v tire inflator so I have a reliable way to keep our vehicles tires full of air.
TexMan
Returns are so much easier, that makes it worthwhile. Also, you occasionally get better pricing. Then after you spend x amount you get a small rebate. I have used purchase history once or twice but not as often. I would use the card to purchase tools that we always seem to lose around the farm.
Kevin
I like that it logs your purchases. Definitely nice that they extend this information to the customer for easy access. I’d probably buy some packout
Ed Sichler
I like that it logs all purchases. As for benefits I would like to have the best would be to track from purchase date warranty expiration and to provide email notification one month prior to warranty expiring.
If I am the lucky winner I will spend it on Milwaukee M12 driver/hammer drill as my dearly loved brushed drill/driver has finally given up.
Brandon
Like many others, I most appreciate the order history. Sometimes I want to look back and see how much I paid for an item, or how long I’ve been using an item.
As for spending, my wife has me in the middle of a bathroom facelift, so that’s certainly where the money would go.
DC
Tracking purchases in case I loose a receipt which makes it easy to return without one.
kevin lebel
probably tracking purchases for “likes” and either a deep packout or new dewalt batteris. thx for the chance.
Rich
I appreciate the deals and coupons. I would put gift card toward new Craftsman shop vac my old ones bearings sound horrible.
Josh H
Being able to print receipts after the fact. As a manager of a facilities department, I’m constantly having to track down receipts for my techs when they lose them. Being able to track down a purchase and print a PDF of the receipt has saved me a ton of time. As for a gift card, my son just moved out of the barracks into his own place off base. I’ve been sending him gift cards to help him get started, this would go to him too.
John Michael Tripp
The purchase tracking is most helpful.
Thanks for all your effort on here
James Vis
I would benefit from regular coupons and am intrigued by the ability to get pro perks without having to “spend like a pro”
Matt O
The purchase tracking is huge. The random perks, free this or that with purchase and coupons are nice as well. I would surely spend a gift card on tools.
David T.
Receipt and spending tracking is a great feature for receipt lookup. I would definitely use the $100 to buy some long needed Dewalt tools.
Spencer Wurm
Definitely the purchase tracking. That would help me a lot keep all my purchases straight and if I need to go back and look at one. Thanks for the chance to win.
IndianaJonesy (Matt J.)
The ease of returns and the ability to have my cards all linked to one account is by far the best feature for me. I rarely take advantage of the discounts and have only once hit the lowest tier perk (although it saved me money on renting a drywall lift and therefore saved my back, so win). Being able to sort through unused supplies after a project and see what goes back to Lowes and what goes back to HD sounds silly, but is really very helpful for me. Wish Lowes would catch up with their website and rewards…
jason ezell
volume pricing and personalized offers seem pretty cool. I am always looking for a deal especially on larger projects to be able to squeeze in another upgrade or two. Anything that makes tracking purchases easier is always welcome as well. WHo holds on to receipts anymore?
Jbongo
I think the paint rewards and lifetime color history is pretty cool. It would make it easier than keeping track of lids or pictures of paint cans. With that being said, I’m not a pro making business transactions. Just a guy collecting tools and doing projects. Lowes occasionally sends me emails about signing up for their pro program, but there hasn’t been a “I’m not a professional” option to click, so it’s just another email to delete. If I had $100 to spend at Home Depot, I’d put it towards a planer or Ridgid pin nailer.
Uncle Ralph
I, too, love the ability to track purchases. I’m currently doing a (mostly) full rehab on my dad’s place, he uses a power chair to get around and isn’t very respectful of his surroundings ;). Plenty of thing to use a gift card on. I actually just purchased a Husky tool tote, based on past tool bag discussions. Love Toolguyd!
Avi
I think it’s a pro xtra perk, I also think I’m a member, can’t seem to see it written anywhere, and I also can’t seem to sign up, so I probably an. Anyway I am a fan of how in store purchases also show up online in your account, and not just online orders, however it only seems to be with a credit card associated with your account, all I’m missing is I’d like a way to have also cash purchases show up, like at the register you can put in your username, or maybe be able to retroactively add a receipt to your account. I think they once had that option. Anyway I’m in the market for a cordless jigsaw.
Gray Murray
I like the tracking feature. I’m moving to a new house and I’d put the gift card towards stuff I need to do around the house.
Blythe
The fact that every purchase I make is logged into the app automatically is a huge help for me. I’m a renovation contractor and keeping track of multiple receipts per week for multiple jobs is a pain. I don’t have to enter my email or scan anything, if I use my card tied to my account, it just shows up on its own.
Plus, there is a barcode for the cashier to scan for returns. Lowes has a similar app, but returns are a pain because the don’t have a barcode, so for returns you have to tell them a long order number
Rob
After constantly losing receipts I could definitely use a better way of keeping track of them. Our accountant would certainly be grateful.
I’d put the gift card towards a couple interior doors that need replacing
Dan D
I like being able to see purchases all in one place, making tracking purchases and receipts for returns easier
Melvin
Order tracking has been helpful. Wish the bonus perks didn’t reset every year. Currently need a SawStop dado cartridge and would put the $100 towards that.
Chuck
I like the rewards program that goes along with the Pro Xtra account. It may not be much, but it is better than nothing.
If I win a gift card, I will be putting it towards a Dewalt ToughSystem Garage Rack and some of the ToughCase Bit sets.
Nathan
Of the Xtra rewards I just signed up when the other article posted – so Feburary I think. What I like is the perks an coupons – haven’t spent enough yet to really get anything but the ability is there. the personalized offers is why I signed up really so hope that works out for me. and Purchase Tracking is the nice bit that will come in handy later.
I will say I see appeal to the paint history tracking, but I’ll not use it most likely – only becasue I buy nearlly all of my paint from Sherwin Williams and they’ve done the same thing for years. Its a great feature. 8 years later – gee what did I paint that dresser for kiddo 1 – oh it’s everland white. K I want another quart of that.
Meanwhile if I get the gift card I might well buy the Dewalt DCF 921 impact wrench – never got one earlier and will need it soon. or I might buy some wire crimper tool, and maybe some romex and ect for a new lightling project in the house – install 4 can lights in the main living room.
Thank you again for doing this.
john burke
order tracking
MFC
I use this and have benefited from the perks and receipts all being visible on the dashboard. I’d probably buy a 3 drawer packout with it, or at least discount it some… Thanks Stuart
john burke
Have used also great Benefit
john burke
Have used also great Benefit also a great help at the store
Marco
Ability to track and return items since everything get synced up
EC
I will benefit from the purchase tracking and likely the personalized offers.
I would use the gift towards a sorely needed push mower.
Allan T
Being able to look over orders and have quick access to receipts if a return needs to be made.
The rewards are a good perk too.
The Gift Card would help for rebuilding my burned down house.
Thanks!
Brandon S.
As a long time ProX user, I have greatly appreciated the purchase history feature, eliminating the need to keep receipts. Also, the Perks, which are essentially free money for reaching spend milestones, are a great way to reward oneself with new tools for all the hard work! Fantastic program!
As for what I would do with the $100 GC… probably get a sheet of plywood and a drink! 😂
Scott F
While reading all of the comments about purchase tracking, I wondered what I had that others didn’t from that perspective – my HD app has all of my purchases made in store and online, but maybe not gift card purchases which never crossed my mind. I’m now realizing this may be because I use the same credit card for all HD purchases through both methods, and my account is probably linked with the card. This is a cool feature that I do really enjoy. And who doesn’t love coupons…
As for what I would use the gift card on, probably to rent a ditch witch and buy some tubing – this place needs drainage. And then basement sealant. Certainly wouldn’t use it on plywood!
SNett
I’ll echo a lot of the other folks and say the teaching would be most helpful. I’m terrible at keeping track of receipts. If I won the card, I would splurge on a new M12 impact wrench!
SNett
Whoops, tracking, not teaching!
Sunny leveson jones
I would probably go through and pick up some additional luxury options for the frc team I mentor
Daniel
Anytime I get a giftcard to Home Depot, it’s almost always used to buy more Milwaukee tools. #theaddictionisreal #helpsupportmyaddiction
Belliott
I would use the receipt tracking the most. I would use the gift card to go towards finishing my kitchen remodel.
Mac
Buying trash bags and tools to help volunteers clean up our local national forest!
Matt S
I like the order history in Pro Xtra. I’d probably buy some spring yard supplies with a gift card.
Jon W
Now that home depot is more strict about receipts on returns, I have my credit cards linked to my pro extra. No need to scan my qr code or save receipts. I just give my amount at the return desk and it all gets looked up regardless of card used to purchase.
Andrew
For me pro xtra really helps with tracking of all my purchases over time, being able to look up receipts from months and months ago is a life saver. The $100 would most likely go to buying a few more wood clamps to finish out my new shop.
Callum
Tracking orders would be nice. I’d use the card to get some consumables. Not exciting but definitely necessary.
Mike
If their bulk purchase deals apply to building materials (lumber) I’d probably go for that.
As for a $100 gift card….lumber or sheet goods. Got a lot of projects that need them that have been put off because of ridiculous prices the last 2 years.
Joe
I like not having to keep my receipts.
The $100 would definitely go towards basement flooring!
its_jake
i’m no pro so purchase tracking is the big thing. not for receipts but for “what screws did i buy for that project?”
$100 right now? probably nice sawhorses a la toughbuilt. I don’t have a workbench right now and it’ll be a bit til i get a good setup.
Philip N
I would love to get the Flexvolt advantage Hole Hawg. Or wait for DeWalts new compact drill.
Adam
I’d either spend it by entering the digits on the back on the website, or handing it the cashier
LOL
Josh Moffett
The Pro Xtra bonus coupons would probably be my favorite feature. I can always use a discount on stuff I’m gonna be purchasing anyway.
I’d use the $100 gift card to buy supplies to help my wife build a butcher block counter top.
Davethetool
Wife usually gets me a Home Depot gift card for birthday, Christmas, etc. Love them and they burn a hole right through my pocket. Always a handful of items on my wish list at the Depot.
Casey
The dedicated help line and specific Outdoor lighting, we need to upgrade all our porch and outdoor lights
Alex
The purchase tracking sounds really nice. I’d use the gift card towards a track saw (probably the corded Makita).
JoeM
I’ll check if it’s rolled out in Canada as well. I need several things, and delivery would help these days. The tracking features sound magnificent, and a great deal better than what the regular tracking is.
What would I buy, if I even qualified? ToughBuilt C700’s… Maybe a nicer toilet seat, and the Klein RT250? Supplies and such really.
But that’s all hypothetical. Canadians don’t qualify, so this is just a post for fun!
JoeM
Update: It is rolled out in Canada. Just need a business license to get in on it. So, not for DIYers or Civilians of any sort. Gotta be a business owner in the trades. Contractors at the bare minimum.
JoeR
offset cost of water heater. cold showers not needed like back in my 20’s.
David N.
Looking to purchase some Rubbermaid Fast Track items, just moved homes and had it in the last house! It can be a little expensive but it looks pretty great and has seemed to be very strong and versatile!
Tom P
I really like the idea of being able to get an annual report on my spending. I would use a gift card on some new Dewalt Powerstack batteries and maybe a jigsaw.
Etienne
Like most responses, order tracking is the option most interesting to me, given the problems with tracking orders I experience.
Josiah
I would use it to buy Hardie Hydrodefense to help with my bathroom renovation!
Will
Definitely like getting personalized coupons, I’d put it towards that new milwaukee mower.
Matt the Hoople
I like that I don’t need to track receipts. Makes returns super easy.
$100 gift card… I’d order a tstak utility cart.
Joatman
Tracking sales is a huge benefit not only for the occasional return, but more importantly, for taxes purposes if you itemize. You have all your expenses right at your fingertips. I would use the gift card towards new locks on my doors or a sump pump.
N. Berg
The most useful would definitely be coupons or offers that let me save some money. I’d probably use the gift card for wood for whatever the next thing I want to build is. Though I may end up holding onto it for a bit on hopes lumber prices drop a little first.
789talon
I agree that tracking orders is very useful and saves time on repeat orders. It helps keeping the bill of materials so that similar projects can be estimated quicker and more accurately.
Eric B
Paint reward and better tracking would be really beneficial. I’d use the gift card on paint and punting supplies
J. Hipple
I would use the new rewards and purchase tracking features. This is very helpful when I buy something over a year ago etc. and I want to buy another of the same item.
I would use the gift card for buying a new shop vacuum as my old one died on me after 14 years
Grady Bookout
I like the ability to track my orders and knowing when they arrive. As for the gift card, I am building new gates for my property, and need new hardware for them and would prefer the locking style that are keyed alike for all of them.
Frank D
Point of feedback:
So, I decided to join HD PRO. There was an offer for $10 off $100 when you join. Received the coupon yesterday, saw it come in on my email, looked at it. It was valid until 04/03 (today). Figured I would print it today and go purchase some lumber.
Today it says it has expired.
If the coupon has been viewed three times it expires?! W T F.
So between it coming in my mail on my phone and pulling it up on my computer it nuked itself? Who in the world does that???
Try to contact pro support … there is none.
Only Pro Extra gets support support.
Oh and Pro Extra perks requires signing up for and payment purchases using a Home Depot Credit card.
… once again HD at its finest. Here’s your sign up coupon. Unreal.
Stuart
Coupons do have a view limit. I save them as PDF if needed, or print them out immediately. I assume this is to combat fraud or code-guessing efforts. Contact them and ask for a reissue if possible, same-day expiration is unusual. I’ve never had this happen to me.
Pro Xtra is free, and you get the pro support. There’s no separate Pro program that I know of.
Pro Xtra does NOT require signing up for a credit card.
You get Pro Xtra perks/reward points with your purchases. That’s the free member program. You get more points if you sign up for and use their credit card. I don’t have the credit card, and didn’t mention it in any post, because I see that as a separate thing.
Bill K
I was not familiar with PROxtra. I’m going to look into it as the ability to track purchases would be very useful. As for a gift card, I go buy a bunch of expendable items, which I’m low in, like grinding and sanding wheels and belts. Thank Stuart for all…. Luv ToolGuyd!
Clayton
Purchase tracking is nice, I’ve done this with their revolving charge card for years but I’ve thought about ditching that and using one card for all stores. Lowes has my lowes also. Now only if menards had something like this. I think i would put it towards a new milwaukee laser if won.
Ross
I’d like the purchase tracking and not have to keep receipts to make returns. Personalized offers would be nice too since I’m looking to expand my tool repertoire as a new homeowner.
Next project is cabinetry for a mud room, so would put it towards material or perhaps a mitre saw or tack saw.

Discounts are always appreciated, nothing is more important than lower price. Our house is ready for a fresh coat of paint which is what I would use the gift card for.

I’d put it towards the $150 DCF150 with PowerStack combo

Better order tracking and tracking paint colors would be useful.
I’d put the gift card towards a new m12 pin nailer

I’m going to be remodeling my house soon. I would honestly use it to just buys studs…which would sadly get me about 12 of them.

I think purchase tracking for returns. I don’t do that many returns, but it’s always the receipt I need that gets lost, wet, or wiped by overheating. I have my eye on the new Ridgid circ saw, looks like they finally fixed the ergonomics!

Purchase tracking sounds great. I always buy everything on my Home Depot credit card so that I could always easily return something if I lost the receipt. Gift cards were always an issue! With this new feature I could use a different card and earn reward points, etc. as well as navigate the gift care issue. If I won I’d put it towards purchasing additional Milwaukee M18 batteries. Thanks

I never paid much attention to this program before, because I’m not a “pro.” Purchase tracking would be nice for those times I’m not using a credit card, and who doesn’t like extra discount coupons? If I win the gift card, I’ll surely use it toward expanding my ever-growing collection of Ryobi tools.

Like everyone else has mentioned, purchase tracking / history would be very beneficial, especially with remodeling.
A gift card would be put towards said remodeling (mud room, and then bathroom are the next two on the list).

For me, I think the biggest benefits would be the special customer service (I had to wait on the phone, and love good customer service) and special offers. I haven’t needed purchase tracking (although it might be useful in the future).
I’d likely use the gift card for organization (most likely TStak).

I signed up the pro extra program based on your recommendation in Feb. I really liked the purchase tracking feature, it is very helpful. The only thing I don’t like is my previous purchase history disappeared since the signup.
I would like to use the gift card to buy a Makita XWT 15z impact wrench.

Advanced search and organization of purchases is the biggest advantage of Pro Xtra for me. $100 would most likely go to yard care supplies now that the spring finally came. Re-seeding, patching, and the like.
