8 Good Reasons to Sign Up for Home Depot Pro Xtra

Owning and growing a business is challenging, even in the best times. If you're looking for a way to score discounts, special privileges, and regular perks, look no further than Home Depot Pro Xtra. Here, we break down eight good reasons to become a member. 

1. It's only for professionals, and it's free

The Pro Xtra Loyalty Program is designed for contractors and other professionals who do business with Home Depot. Pro Xtra membership provides benefits that save business owners time and money. Better yet, it costs nothing to sign up. Membership is absolutely free. 

2. Buying in bulk leads to savings

Chances are, when you need materials, you need them in bulk. Qualifying purchases of $1,500 or more score you bulk volume savings. The easiest way to find out how much money you'll get to keep snug in your business checking account is to assemble a project list and bring it to an in-store Pro Desk. There, you'll receive a quote for Home Depot's rock-bottom price. 

3. Pro Xtra makes organizing easier

Think about how much time you spend each month just keeping everything straight and organized. Now, imagine being able to go to a personalized account dashboard to see all your orders and precisely when they'll arrive. Purchases are even broken down by the job name or purchase order. Plus, you'll find the store name (so you'll remember where the order was placed) and a list of the top items. 

4. Home Depot widens your return window

You're likely aware you have 90 days to return most new, unopened merchandise. But as long as you pay with a Home Depot credit card, you'll have 365 days from the date of purchase to receive a full refund on most merchandise. 

5. Painters can score big 

Not only will Pro Xtra land you up to 20% off primers, paints, and stains, but Pro Xtra members also receive free factory color matching and tinting. Add to that dedicated field support and direct-to-job site paint delivery anywhere in the U.S. 

6. Reward points can be turbocharged

With Pro Xtra, you earn reward points called "perks." The more you spend, the more perks you'll have to use toward other merchandise. By using the special Pro Xtra Credit Card, you can earn perks 4X faster. And if you want to turbocharge those perks, allow trusted employees to have their own cards. Their perks will also be credited to your account. 

7. You're a VIP

Visit your local Home Depot store, and you'll likely see parking spots reserved for Pro Xtra members. Once inside, you'll find dedicated Pro checkout lanes to speed you through. In short, you'll spend less time shopping and more time on the job site. 

8. It's easy to become a member

If you're interested in becoming a Pro Xtra Loyalty Program member, you have four options to do so: Enroll online, in-app, in-store at the Pro Desk, or by calling customer service at 866-333-3551. 

As a small business owner, you're responsible for everything, from material sourcing to covering payroll. If your goal is to grow your business this year and stick to a budget, Pro Xtra can serve as an extra set of hands, making things just a little easier. Anything that can help you stay organized while saving you money is undoubtedly worth your time.
