Default Home Depot return policy w/out receipt

Anyone know what HD's return policy is if you do not have a receipt? I know
they take your drivers license number but is there a cap as to how much
stuff ($) you can return without a receipt before they disallow it?
I know Walmart puts you on a 'black' list and after a while (not sure how
you define 'a while') they disallow you returning items.

Anyway, I purchased a small $ item last year ($13.96 door closer) and didn't
need it. I looked far and wide for the receipt and couldn't locate it so I
took the item back to HD and got a gift card (which is ok because I'm always
in their store).
Wouldn't you know it the next day I was cleaning off my desk and came across
the receipt!
Of course the receipt was 9 months old(!) and the receipt states they would
take the receipt items back for 90 days so it is doubtful if I could have
used the receipt to return the item. Too bad I can't go back (or call HQ)
and give them the receipt and have them take me off their 'list'.

I made a respectable 30% ROI in about a year on a home depot purchase of
about $125. I had purchased a number of framing brackets that I ended up
not needing, and procrastinated returning. I *did* have the receipt, but
since it had been more than 90 days, they would "only" give me store
credit. Turns out that the price on that item had increased about 30% in
that year.
