If you're furnishing or renovating vacation rental properties, you're likely already relying on Lowe’s for tools, appliances, and building materials. But if you’re not using HostGPO’s exclusive partnership with Lowe’s Pro, you could be missing out on significant savings.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to get the most value out of every dollar spent at Lowe’s.

Lowe’s Pro vs. Regular Lowe’s: What’s the Difference?

Lowe’s Pro is a business program designed for professionals like property managers and hosts. It’s free to join and offers a range of benefits that go beyond what typical consumers receive, including:

• Points towards MyLowe’s Money or exclusive rewards
• Members-only deals
• Free standard shipping
• 20% paint discount on orders over $3,000

But here’s the thing: HostGPO members receive an additional 5–15% discount on top of MyLowe’s PRO Rewards Program Benefits, and give you access to everything you need to keep your properties in great shape. With a large selection of trusted brands, fast shipping, and in-store pickup, it's easy to upgrade, outfit, or repair your property—all in one place.

Create a HostGPO | Lowe’s Pro account, and once logged in, look for the label “Includes Contract Pricing.” That contract pricing reflects the HostGPO discounted rate. This pricing is built directly into your Lowe’s Pro account when it's linked with HostGPO and you’ve saved your payment methods (see below!).

This discount is active across hundreds of products, and often beats major retailers like Amazon or Home Depot.

How to save your payment method (and why it matters)

Once you’ve created a HostGPO | Lowe’s account, you must save a payment method to unlock your HostGPO pricing and access the benefits of the MyLowe’s Pro Rewards Program.

• Go to My Settings and select Payment Methods
• Click + Add New Card, then enter your card information

That’s it. Once any and all cards (including personal!) you use to make purchases are saved, your HostGPO discounts (contract pricing) will automatically apply to eligible items online. You’ll also be able to receive Pro discounts and rewards in-store when you use your saved card and earn points through the MyLowe’s Pro Rewards program without having to do anything extra.

Save even more with volume-based ordering

If you’re planning a larger purchase (think a property setup or major renovation), you can save even more. Lowe’s offers volume-based quotes for Pro customers placing any orders of $2,000 or more, which typically provides an additional ~2.5% discount.

Flexible delivery and pickup options

Lowe’s makes it easy to get your materials where and when you need them, whether you're shipping to a job site or picking up locally. In-store pickup is available on most products and can be selected on the product page or during checkout. Shipping and delivery options range from standard parcel to jobsite delivery, depending on item size and availability.

Streamline team purchasing with purchase authorization

If you manage multiple properties and have field staff handling shopping and turnovers, Lowe’s purchase authorization tool can save you time and protect your budget. This feature enables you to assign purchasing roles to team members, granting them the ability to make in-store purchases without requiring access to your full account or credit line.

You can set custom spending limits, assign specific payment methods, and track every transaction under one centralized account. It’s a great way to empower your team to get what they need, when they need it, without losing visibility or control over spend. Learn more and get set up here.

Manage orders and quotes on-the-go

If you’re frequently moving between properties or managing remotely, the Lowe’s mobile app is a must-have. Available for both iOS and Android users, the app includes nearly all of the functionality of the full website.

You can search products, save carts, create quotes, track your rewards, and manage in-store pickup or delivery preferences right from the app. It’s a fast and convenient way to keep your purchases organized without needing to be at a desk.

How to use the Lowe’s Pro credit card to maximize your rewards

Using the Lowe’s Pro credit card can unlock additional benefits that help you stretch your budget even further. Cardholders are automatically upgraded to Platinum Pro status within the Lowe’s Pro program, which means you get 1.25 points for every dollar spent, and those points accumulate as MyLowe’s Money (100 points = $1), which can be used toward future purchases. If you’re managing multiple properties or outfitting a new space, those rewards can add up fast and help offset future supply runs.

Another practical benefit is convenience. When you save your card to your Lowe’s Pro account, your discounts and rewards apply automatically in-store. Plus, all purchases are easily trackable through your Lowe’s Pro dashboard, making it much simpler to organize expenses by project or property.

How MyLowe’s Pro Rewards work

Lowe’s doesn’t just offer competitive pricing—they’ve built a rewards system designed for professionals who buy often and in volume. For every dollar you spend, you earn points. Once you accumulate 100 points, you can redeem them for $1 in MyLowe’s Money, which functions just like store credit.

But how many points you earn depends on your rewards tier. Here's a breakdown:

Gold Pro: The entry-level tier is automatically activated when you sign up for a Lowe’s Pro account. You’ll start earning rewards right away, but as you spend more or sign up for a Lowe’s Business Credit Card, you’ll unlock additional perks.

Platinum Pro: Unlocked either by spending $10,000 - $24,999 in a calendar year or instantly when you get a Lowe’s Pro credit card. At this tier, you earn 1.25x points per dollar spent.

Titanium Pro: Unlocked by spending $25,000+ in a calendar year, and comes with the highest level of rewards and additional benefits, earning 1.5x points per dollar spent.

You can track your points and tier status directly in your Lowe’s Pro account dashboard, making it easy to monitor your savings and plan ahead for larger purchases.

Best Items to Buy at Lowe’s for Vacation Rental Properties

When it comes to outfitting or upgrading your rental properties, Lowe’s offers a wide selection of high-impact essentials, many of which are eligible for HostGPO contract pricing. Here are some of the top items hosts consistently save on:

• Paint – Lowe's sells a wide range of paint brands, including Valspar, HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams, and Magnolia Home. If you spend $3,000 or more annually, you can save 20% on paint.
• Ozone Machine – Great for eliminating strong odors between stays, especially after pets, cooking, or smoking.
• Pool Chlorine – A must for properties with pools or hot tubs.
• Grills – One of the most appreciated outdoor amenities for guests. This Weber Spirit Gas Grill is a great size (and has great savings!).
• Portable A/C Units – Smart options like this Hisense model offer a flexible, energy-efficient way to cool rooms without major installs.
• Flooring – Durable and budget-friendly options like vinyl plank or laminate are ideal for high-traffic STRs, and can often be bought at a bulk discount.
• Shower Hardware – Quick bathroom upgrades can elevate the look of your property without a full renovation. This Delta Eldren bathtub and shower faucet looks modern and is great for all properties.

Shopping at Lowe’s through HostGPO is one of the easiest ways to cut costs and streamline purchasing for your vacation rental business. With exclusive contract pricing, rewards, volume discounts, and credit card perks, you’re not just saving money, you’re setting up a smarter, more efficient system.
