How to get the best military discounts

We've put together a list of special deals and discounts for active duty, veterans, reservists and their families.

Honoring military service members doesn't just happen on holidays.

Hundreds of businesses offer special deals and discounts for you and your loved ones if you're affiliated with the military. Read on to learn how you can get them, what types of discounts are available, and where you can access them.

How do I qualify for a military discount?

Typically, you'll need to show a valid military ID or other proof of service to get a discount. This is easy to do when you're shopping in person, especially if you're in uniform.

For online deals, you may have to verify your eligibility by phone or email, or through a verification service like ID.me . See note 1 Other military offers are available through these deal providers that verify your status when you create an account.

Although many military discounts are offered year-round, some are only available on certain days like Veterans Day or Military Mondays. They can also have other restrictions, such as location.

Where can I find military discounts?

A list of military discounts would be too long. For example, USAA members can take advantage of cashback discounts at more than 900 shops alone by visiting USAA MemberShop See note ® . See note 2

We've rounded up some of the best military deals in top categories to give you an idea of what's available and help you claim your well-deserved savings.
