American Forces Travel Privileges Extended to Eligible Veterans

The Department of Defense announced today a policy change to the current shopping privileges on the American Forces Travel website. As directed by acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Virginia S. Penrod in a memo signed April 12, 2021, the department will extend online access to the website to honorably discharged veterans of the uniformed services.

On average, customers save 35-40% compared to commercial travel pricing by using AFT. This includes discounted rates on hotels (up to 60%), airfare, rental cars, vacation packages, event tickets, and cruises.

“Sixteen million veterans will now be able to access the American Forces Travel website, joining the 10 million active duty, Guard and reserve service members, family members, DOD civilians, and other patrons who are already receiving the benefit,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy Patricia “Patty” Montes Barron. “We are committed to providing quality-of-life programs to our military community, which includes our honorably discharged veterans.”

The change will not affect access for existing patrons, and the increased customer base will allow AFT to negotiate better prices for its customers. 

AFT launched in 2019 as the only official joint service morale, welfare, and recreation leisure travel website exclusively for DOD patrons. In addition to improving access to DOD’s MWR benefits, every booking on American Forces Travel generates revenue to support critical quality-of-life programs for service members and families.

To access the exclusive military discount pricing on travel products, visit the American Forces Travel website . Proof of eligibility is required.

mwr armed forces travel

American Forces Travel℠ is a new Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program arising out of a joint service initiative combining the efforts of each of the five branches of service (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard) and the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community & Family Policy.

Because the Internet is now the most popular way to research and book travel, the branches of Service chose to evolve their travel offering. The Services have contracted with a world leader in travel, Priceline®, to deliver high value travel benefits to the U.S. military community. American Forces Travel℠ is transforming the way MWR provides online leisure services to our Service members and families, empowering them to revitalize, reconnect, be well, and most importantly, be mission-ready. In addition to dramatically enhancing quality of life for the military community, American Forces Travel℠ will inject critical revenue into MWR programs by providing commissions from every booking made.

Awarding the no-cost contract to Priceline® is a major milestone for the Services and a testament to their collaborative and transformative efforts. While there are many for-profit online leisure travel offerings marketing to the military today, American Forces Travel is the only official joint services MWR leisure travel website.

The Complete Guide to Hotels with a Military Discount

Carissa Rawson

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

Traveling can be expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of transportation, food and lodging. Add to this that saving for a vacation can become overwhelming. One silver lining for those in the armed forces: There are many military discount hotel offerings.

This includes options from major chains, such as Marriott and Hilton, as well as dedicated websites that’ll save you money. Let’s take a look at what hotels with military discounts are out there.

Are there military discounted hotels?

Yes, there are several options when it comes to hotels with military discounts.

Most major hotel chains will either specify a percentage discount. For example, Wyndham’s is up to 15%. Others will allow members to search online for discounted rates. For instance, both Hilton and Marriott’s military discount allows this.

Hotels with military discounts

Most hotel chains will offer a military discount of some type.

Best Western.

Choice Hotels.

Caesars Resorts.

Extended Stay America.

MGM Resorts.

Red Roof Inn.

Searching for discounts is usually simple. You’ll simply want to navigate to the hotel’s website and look for the military rate in the search bar.

Military members can get the annual fee waived on The Platinum Card® from American Express . This gets active duty members access to even more luxe travel benefits, including lounges. Terms apply.

Marriott, for example, has a drop-down that lets you select pricing for members of the government and military.

mwr armed forces travel

You’ll want to look carefully at the rules for the military rate you choose. Some are available only to those traveling on orders.

Others apply specifically to active duty service members and aren’t valid for use by veterans. You’ll generally be asked to provide identification when you check in to verify your eligibility for the rate.

Other discount hotels for military

If you’re not particularly loyal to one hotel chain, it may instead make sense for you to book alternative vacation accommodations. These include hotels, resorts and even vacation rentals.

American Forces Travel

Only available to active duty military, guard, reserve, retired military and those with Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) privileges, American Forces Travel allows you to search for a variety of hotels at once.

This is a useful option if you’re looking for military discount hotels near you and want to see what’s available.

You’ll need to verify your eligibility before entering the site, which is done using your social security number. Once in, you can book hotels, rental cars, flights, cruises, event tickets and more at specially negotiated rates.

Armed Forces Vacation Club

The Armed Forces Vacation Club allows active duty military and veterans to book resorts and cruises for deeply discounted rates. It’s free, but the best discounts are offered to those who sign up for their premium membership.

How good are the deals? Think “a week in a two-bedroom condo at a resort in the Bahamas for $409” good. There are some limitations around dates, but if you’re flexible this can be a great deal.

mwr armed forces travel

Hotels.com is an online travel agency that, like American Forces Travel, allows you to search for a wide variety of hotels at once. Hotels.com uses ID.Me to verify your military status. Once you’re registered, you’ll score an 8% discount on all your hotel bookings.

Hotels for military only

You’ve probably heard of those much-lauded military resorts in the Alps, Hawaii and even South Korea. If not, let’s talk about them, plus other options for properties catering specifically to military members.

Base hotels

Nearly all military bases offer hotels for service members. Although priority is usually given to those who are moving or Temporary Duty Station (TDY), you can still book rooms for other reasons.

This can be especially good at some awesomely located bases, such as Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California. It hosts the Navy Lodge North Island, which sits beachfront on one of California’s best coasts.

You can also check MWR listings for local resorts, cottages and cabins. Naval Base Coronado, for example, also offers 20 two-bedroom beach cottages for rent.

Pointes West Army Resort is another option. Located lakefront in Appling, Georgia, this resort rents out three-bedroom cabins for just $125 per night.

Armed Forces Recreation Center resorts

The MWR maintains four distinct resorts only available to members of the military. All active duty service members qualify to book these properties, as do retirees and certain eligible veterans.

Dragon Hill Lodge : Located in Seoul, South Korea. 

Edelweiss Lodge and Resort : Located in Garmisch, Germany.

Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort : Located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Hale Koa Hotel : Located in Honolulu, Hawaii.  

Availability and rates for these resorts will depend on where you’re staying, so it’s best to check out the Armed Forces Recreation Center website for booking options.

Both Shades of Green and the Hale Koa Hotel are available to veterans with service-connected disabilities under the Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018.

Military discount hotel options recapped

If you’re a member of the armed forces and want to travel, you’ll be glad to know that there are plenty of military discounts on offer. These include savings at big hotel chains such as Hyatt, Hilton and Marriott.

However, you’re also entitled to specialty discounts — and even exclusive resorts — as a service member. Do yourself a favor and check out all available options, crunch the numbers and then enjoy your savings as you sip a strawberry daiquiri in your beachfront accommodations.

How to maximize your rewards

You want a travel credit card that prioritizes what’s important to you. Here are our picks for the best travel credit cards of 2024 , including those best for:

Flexibility, point transfers and a large bonus: Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

No annual fee: Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card

Flat-rate travel rewards: Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card

Bonus travel rewards and high-end perks: Chase Sapphire Reserve®

Luxury perks: The Platinum Card® from American Express

Business travelers: Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card

AN OFFICIAL ARMY FAMILY AND MWR SITE

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ National Suicide Crisis Lines

American Forces Travel is a new Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program arising out of a joint service initiative combining the efforts of each of the five branches of service (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard) and the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community & Family Policy.

Because the Internet is now the most popular way to research and book travel, the branches of Service chose to evolve their travel offering. The Services have contracted with a world leader in travel, Priceline®, to deliver high value travel benefits to the U.S. military community. American Forces Travel℠ is transforming the way MWR provides online leisure services to our Service members and families, empowering them to revitalize, reconnect, be well, and most importantly, be mission-ready. In addition to dramatically enhancing quality of life for the military community, American Forces Travel℠ will inject critical revenue into MWR programs by providing commissions from every booking made.

Awarding the no-cost contract to Priceline® is a major milestone for the Services and a testament to their collaborative and transformative efforts. While there are many for-profit online leisure travel offerings marketing to the military today, American Forces Travel is the only official joint services MWR leisure travel website.
