Their theme park, Silver Dollar City, offered the following: Silver Dollar City and White Water offer retired and active military and disabled veterans a 2-day ticket for the price of a 1-day ticket at each park’s front gate! Dependent military children age 4-11 receive a complimentary 2-day ticket when they are accompanied by a parent purchasing a 2-day military ticket, or when they present an active military ID in their own name, and are accompanied by a paying adult or Season Pass Holder.

  91. I’ve noticed it really depends on where you are. We lived near a large base and most of the stores listed here did NOT give discounts; I guess they figured the largest part of their population was military and we had to shop there anyway. Dunkin Donuts, Jiffy Lube, IHOP, Chik-fil-A, movie theater, none of them offered a discount, even when asked. But when we traveled outside of the area, we were usually given a discount. We ALWAYS ask, because we’ve often been surprised at Mom and Pop stores with discounts we weren’t expecting.

    Reply

    • This is very true!! When we lived in Virginia, there were very few discounts offered to us…however, now we live near Chicago, IL and there are discounts and freebies everywhere. It’s incredible. You just have to remember to ask, as most places do not publicize their discounts. In addition, once the proprietor realizes we are a military family, we tend to get the royal treatment. It’s not necessary, but it’s nice to know how appreciative they are.

Lowes is awesome, they’ll give me 10% on top of store sales/discounts…got my fridge there because of that! Also check all your cell phone plans – we get a military discount on ours.

          Reply

          • @ Heidi R: I was told the same thing, but it was unsettling to me b/c Lowe’s and H.D. compete for customers. So I called corporate BEFORE asking again and verified, as well as had personnel at corporate call the store manager to inform his staff. HE was unaware of the change! Now they don’t even ask for my ID when I purchase (guess I made an impression of some kind lol). If you spend as much money or time in H.D. as I do, it is well worth the call. Good luck to all

  102. I would like to suggest that the discounts listed specify active, retired, etc. Probably difficult to go back after the fact, but if possible to specify in the future, all us “retired military partners” can rest assured it will work for us 🙂

    Reply

    • Good idea – but every vendor I’ve ever gotten a discount from, I simply ask “Do you offer a military discount” and then (if necessary) show them my retired card – and to be honest, many civilian types would be hard-pressed to know the difference between and active duty and retirement card and even fewer care. The Point-of-Sale system is set up to give the discount when a button is pushed and most businesses don’t care to dig too deep.

Also, if you live near a military base, check there for discount travel deals. Most offer better discounts than you can find anywhere. We went to Disneyland for very reasonable. A lot of the car rental places also offer military discounts.

  109. Michael’s has a 10% off on Wednesday’s with a military ID card. Our local Papa Murphy’s gives us a 25% discount with military ID. We live in Alaska so I don’t know if there is a discount in other states. I have been told that each store has it’s own policy on that.

  113. I wish there were more discounts for vets. I see all these discounts for active duty and it’s like the people who are vets and disabled vets were active duty at one point. Sometimes it gets so frustrating and I have to vent. It’s like we did our time, give us a discount too!

    • If you hold a Retired Military ID card, you can usually get the discounts. I’ve had only one place tell me (the spouse) that I couldn’t get the discount, and only one place has told my retired husband that the discount applied only to Active Duty. He put in 26 years of Active Duty to the Air Force, and deserves extra “kudos”, like all our Vets!

  115. Jiffy Lube and AutoZone give 10% discounts as well. I always ask. Sometimes it’s the most random places that give you the biggest military discounts. It never hurts to ask! If they don’t, they usually say they should or they wished they did which I appreciate.

  116. The Houston Zoo is also Free for active duty military and 3 direct dependents. Just show your ID card at window.

  117. Home Depot is trying to do away with their military discount. BOO on the them! I was there yesterday and basically if you say, “But LOWE’S gives me one” they will give it to you! Be persistent or take your business to Lowe’s!

  119. You might want to check the discount at Home Depot. My hubby went there yesterday and they said that they no longer give discounts. Also Old Navy just changed their days for discounts. It is now every Monday.

    • Home depot provides the discount. I use mine regularly. Ask cashier to call supervisor or corporate to verify. I had to.

      • You have to be able to show a military id to get the discounts at most places. Are those that r turned down at LOW and HD showing an Id card?

  120. Lowes gives 10% off every day to soldiers AND veterans. My husband and I go there for everything we can now! We’ve heard that Olive Garden does, but after getting turned down twice…we decided that it wasn’t fair for them to tell Military.com when they in fact do not, and we refuse to go there anymore.

  126. My family and I are in the military, and we PCS’d across the USA in 2010. I used hotels.com for all the stops. Come to find out that if I would have called the hotel directly, and said hey I’m military I would have received a better discount via going through hotels.com. And Hotels.com was VERY rude about wanting to reimburse me the extra money I stuck in with them. Sometimes the charges were up to $30 more. FYI Ladies!! Hope this can help someone else out. Please pass this along to all your military friends!

    • AAA also gives you a discount if you have it. We called most hotels to confirm our reservations and all gave us a military discount! 😉

      • Sometimes if you use websites like hotels.com or travelocity.com and then call the hotel that you have found (not the 800 number, the actual hotel you want to stay in) they will match the price and then you can ask for the military discount on top of that.
        Also if you have found a better deal at another hotel sometimes hotels will match competitors prices.

  127. Buckle and New York and Company also offer military discounts…I believe Buckle is 10% and NY and Co is 15%.

  129. Any time I check out, I always ask if they give a military discount. Sometimes places you’d never think to ask will give you one. I’ve had employees give me their discount in stores where their is no “military discount” just because they think there should be a military discount.

    Also, Spencers offers a 10% military discount. I didn’t see that mentioned anywhere on here.

  132. The Buckle offers 10% discount, Maurice’s offers discount (one place they gave me 10%, another 15%). I always ask no matter where I go. The worse that can happen is you’re told no. 🙂

Shane’s Rib Shack gives military a 20% discount and so does Boardwalk Burgers( a burger resteraunt ) MIlitary personel get a free ticket into Busch Gardens once a year and for up to 3 dependents.

  138. Always be sure to ask a business when you are checking out. I have been given a discount even if they don’t usually offer one. Also, a restaurant started giving 20 percent military discounts after we asked.

  139. Depending on where you live, some of these places do not give discounts. For instance, the Home Deopt in my town will only give military discounts on Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s day. Applebee’s in my town does not give military discounts at all.
    I loved living in the Ft. Campbell area because tons of places gave military discounts. In New Hampshire….you will find that most of the small “Mom and Pop” places will offer a military discount over a big chain store.

    • I recently looked online and saw that Home Depot and Lowe’s offers a 10% discount all the time for active and retired military. If you are a veteran (not active and not retired military), you only receive a 10% discount at both places on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Veterans Day weekends.

    • On a quick note about Home depot. The one I worked out at Maryland did not advertise the military discount except on the three holidays but if you pulled out your id and asked, we the cashiers were told to give the 10%.

Lowe’s and Home Depot have always given me a 10% active-duty discount. TX and MA have a bunch of little stores that give discounts too, but in PA, WA, and ME it’s hard to find any.
