Our veterans have given so much, and we can never truly repay what they and their families have been through. But with everything getting more expensive, every little bit helps. Many companies give discounts to veterans, active military, reserve and their families. We rounded up a few of our favorites, but the list below just scratches the surface of the discounts available to our veterans.
Apple
Apple offers a 10% discount for current and veteran members of the U.S. Military, National Guard and reserve. Immediate family members who reside in the same household are also eligible. The 10% off is for all Apple products and accessories, and Veteran or active military status must be verified with ID.me.

Compilation Sites
Beyond the discounts above from individual companies, there are a number of websites (such as Disabled American Veterans (DAV), the National Veterans Foundation Lifeline for Vets, VAntage Point, and Veterans Advantage) that compile larger lists of discounts and services geared toward veterans, some offering both free and premium services. Scott Higgins, co-CEO and co-founder of Veterans Advantage, who is a Vietnam War Veteran, says that their program has approximately 2 million veteran, active duty, guard and reserve participants (including family members), 42% of which are women.
“Veterans Advantage is a public benefit corporation for its strong social mission of generating greater respect, recognition and rewards for those who served, continue to serve and their families,” Higgins adds. “We created the first benefit for this special group of Americans over 20 years ago and now offer discounts on over 400 brands through our basic (free) service and our premium (paid) service on our Military Discounts Marketplace.”
