Ok, I know we ALL need to save money right now...
I've learned that a lot of places don't OFFER a military discount, unless you ask :D

A few places I've discovered who give military discounts are:

Old Navy (during the 1st through the 4th of every month)
Buckle
Lady Foot Locker
Foot Locker
Aeropostale
Home Depot
Lowes



Plus, a lot of places will knock tax off if you mention military discounts, just because they feel like it. ESPECIALLY formal gown boutique's that aren't chains, jewelry stores, and furniture stores :D


Does anyone else have any stores to add?

Spencer's does, along with places like Verizon, AT&T, and I think Geico does too.

There's a thread in the forums somewhere with a huge list.

Rank discount
TIS discount
TIG discount
Deployment discounts
Retired/Veteran discount
Disabled Vet discount

I'm sure if you ask they may give you a discount for shooting expert on the range..... lol

HAHAHAHA awesome! Thanks bunches! A lot of us spouses can't see the other forums on the site. I figure since most of us do most of the shopping for our families and handle "business" while you guys are always deployed.... it's good for us to know too!!!

Thanks again!!! <3

Glad to help. I forgot about that.
When I Update the list every month I'll post it in the " Marine Spouse " Thread also.

I don't think K-mart and Michael's still give military discounts.. I've asked a couple of times to see... It may have recently changed.

Also, Sally Beauty Supply doesn't anymore.. at least they haven't honored it when I've asked. What they DO is they waive the fee for a Sally Card for active duty and their spouses.

Trade Secret used to offer a military discount also, but they quit about two years ago.

Would be nice if they gave discounts to the spouses for shooting expert too... because I'm sure I can outshoot my 3rd award expert hubby.

I never ask. I just take out my ID at any store and say very politely " I'd like to use my 10% off Military Discount Please ".

AT&T gave us ... a discount on our Mobile phone service ... four cell numbers. I thought that was pretty good. When my son went to Pensacola I went in to ask about different services because up until that time we had a very limited mobile service plan and I wanted to upgrade the service ..... well, when they found out why .... we (the family) got a discount on our monthly service. So definitely check out AT&T for a discount.

My husband always gets a discount where he golfs simply because they know his son is a Marine. I've also gotten a 10 percent discount at Home Depot when I just happened to go in with a my son is a U.S. Marine t-shirt. Same thing has happened to me at Starbucks .... I've ordered and because I've something on that states my son's service the coffee has been free.

I appreciate these gestures of gratitude. The discount on our AT&T monthly mobile bill is really helpful on a tight budget ... and it is very much appreciated.

Foreverproud, I'd say you're really lucky! Most of those discounts are only with proof of service like an active duty ID or dependant ID.

ATT gives a great discount :D That's why we've stuck with them for the last three years.

Everytime I see a mom wearing moto-gear, I get really happy. It's nice to see families who support their children's decisions.

Hello Everyone,

I came across this page doing some web work for GM. Thought it might be helpful for people to know that GM has a military discount available to active duty members and Reserves. If you aren't familiar with it, all the details are here http://bit.ly/gmMilitary.

There's also a Facebook page that aims to bring military families together to share their experiences. Check it out when you have some time http://bit.ly/gmMilitaryfb.

Best,
Mike

I have a comment ,I know a lot of Gold Star Families, I was wondering how ce they don't get any special discounts like free admission to theme Parks. After all we are indebted to them and I think they deserve special privileges.
