91 Military Discounts
If you or someone you know is a member of the military, be sure to check out this massive list of discounts available for vets and active-duty members alike!
Nearly 1.5 million Americans actively serve in our military and armed forces, whether in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard. Another 850,000+ serve in the Reserves. With so many men and women defending and aiding our country under difficult conditions, it’s not surprising retailers, restaurants, service providers, and travel and entertainment companies offer a wide variety of discounts in grateful thanks.
As our way of thanking those who serve, we’ve compiled a detailed list of ways to save for veterans, all active branches and, in some instances, the families who stand behind them.
Location Based Discounts:
With many restaurants and retailers being franchised based, the decision about whether or not to offer discounts is left up to individual locations. Any discount in this list marked with the "Location Based" tag means that customers have reported receiving a military discount, but only at select locations. When in doubt, call your local store or restaurant for more information.
