The Biggest List Of Military Discounts There Is

Okay, I’m on a mission now – collecting the biggest list of military discounts there is.

Sounds crazy? I don’t care since I’m really passionate about the cause of helping service members find the financial relief they need.

I’ve already written about free resources for pregnant military wivesbudgeting tips for traveling with military kidstips for inexpensive family travel, but I wanted to extend my help to other military families and share our tips for saving big bucks.

You can find lists of the military discounts out there that name all the major brands, but beside them, I wanted to also mention all the small businesses that are appreciating the military personnel and honoring their service.

This list of military discounts helped us a lot in planning our wedding for example so I’ll be working on that list a lot (maybe even turn it into a separate post!).

Anyhow, everybody and anybody is welcome to join this list of military discounts, so please feel free to reach out and propose your business!

How To Get Military Discounts

First, we need to make sure you, the reader of this list, is eligible to get a military discount. So, the following people will be able to get a chance to obtain one:

  • Active duty military personnel
  • Current Guard / Reserve member
  • Military retirees
  • Military dependents (anyone with a DoD issued military or dependent ID)
  • Veterans

Now, once you know you are eligible, you need to bring your military identification (proof of service or dependency) with you.

Some of the current ID cards that you can use to show proof of service:

However, please note that there is no standard as some stores only accept certain forms of ID or proof of service.

Military Discount Categories

In order to group this list of military discounts, I’ve decided to go with categories. Please note that this list will most likely never be finished, I will always make sure to keep on adding websites.

However, please don’t be mad if any of these discounts are no longer valid. On the contrary, please use the opportunity to send me a quick email so I can remove it and avoid future confusions.

    I am in Canada but my cousin is a military wife in the US. I have a feeling she isn’t aware of these discounts. I’ll most definitely pass these onto her.
