196 Military Discounts for Active Duty, Retirees and More

2 years ago 650

Are you a veteran or currently serving in the U.S. armed forces? We found over 100 companies that offer military discounts as a small token of their appreciation. This was originally published on The Penny Hoarder, which helps millions...

There is no concrete way for American civilians to offer proper thanks to the servicemen and servicewomen who put their lives on the line to protect the interests of the country they serve.

But many stores and consumer brands try their best to show gratitude, by offering discounts to service personnel whenever they make purchases.

Obviously, the discounts listed below cannot make up for the sacrifice made by armed forces personnel. But, it is one way for military personnel to feel appreciated, no matter the amount of money saved.

Who Gets Military Discounts?

There is no standard throughout American commerce regarding the justification of service members, either active or veteran, to deserve the discounts offered.

Discounts are routinely offered to active duty, National Guard or Reserve, and military dependents, who may be asked to show a Department of Defense dependent identification card. Discounts also usually are extended to veterans and DOD retirees.

There are discounts offered specifically to members of veterans’ benefit groups such as Veterans Advantage, USAA or Veterans of Foreign Wars. If you are a service member but not aligned with any of those groups, you might investigate the services and advantages they offer to see if it is worth your while to join.

Many of these retailers offer their discounts through accounts in ID.me or SheerID, independent verification services that offer free registration.
