Howard H Marsch says
I just went on line a few days ago and registered my card and get 10 percent discount every time I shop . Even went so far as to test it .
You can pick up a card at Lowe’s and register it on line.
So, every time I shop I just swipe like a product and when you pay it automatically deducts 10 percent from the cost.
Robin Espinosa says

We appreciate Lowe’s recognizing ALL who have served.
Thank you!
Auntie Bones says
We were in Branson, Mo recently and practically every show offered, at the very least a free ticket to “anyone” holding a military i.d. and others offered discounts. 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.
Auntie Bones says
In addition, most stores gave a 10%-30% discount offer our purchases. It was incredible!
Auntie Bones says
Active members of the military can receive one free ticket, based on availability, at the U.S. Cellular Field Box Office on the day of the game by presenting their I.D. This offer excludes Opening Day, Cubs series and premium games.
Auntie Bones says
This is for the Chicago White Sox*
mike hopper says
I am deployed soldier and a Chicago native on my 3rd and last tour before I retire after 30+ years active service.

thank you
Vicky Zetino says

Adria says
Hot Topic gives a 10% discount to Active Duty Military and dependents who show ID. ^_^
Tara says
anyone know why busch gardens and sea world are no longer doing the military discount? they said it was free for the entire year 2011. but my husbands buddy and his friend had to buy season passes, cause busch gardens said they weren’t doing it anymore.
Adria says
It’s one free admission for the military member and up to 3 family members per year at the Sea World near where I lived. I don’t think any discounts are offered on season passes.
Shauna Gaskill says
It is the same here, You have to go to the website and download the form and it is free for our fam once a year
Kara says
I know Erie PA Lowes gives discount, but all their employees do not know it. When I went in there last month to buy flowers, I was given the reply- Just because your husband is Navy doesnt mean we owe you anything… If you ever get a crappy response like that, talk to the mgr, I got 50% off … Just cause my cashier was a jerk
Jim T says
White House Restaurant in clare mi offers 10% discount to veterans (ask for the cream cheese northern sandwich)
Whitney A says
I recently learned Big Splash Water Park in Oklahoma has Military Mondays the first Monday of each month. Anyone with a military ID is given free admission and any guests with them get $5 admission.
Jessica says
OH there is a theme park in Utah called Lagoon and they offer military discount as well…
Heidi R says
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.
Auntie Bones says
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.
Heidi R says
There are 4 military resorts:

Sarah says
Quiznos Subs will give 10% off if you show your Military ID
Margaux says
I really wish there were more discounts for Veterans!!
Carin says
Stride Rite @ Tanger outlets in NY gives a 15% discount. The regular stride rite store does give something, but not if you also have a coupon. FYI, New York & Co lets you use your discount on top of most coupons except BOGO
Mary O. says
I used to work for The Phoenix Zoo, and they offer a military discount of $4 off. You just have to ask when you purchase tickets. They don’t advertise it.
Jenn says
West Palm Beach Zoo, West Palm Beach Florida offers 50% discount on admission year round.
Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa, FL has a Military discount on July 1-4th for military members and 3 direct dependents. Free Admission.

Express gives 10% off the entire purchase when u show a military ID in stores!!
Meredith Lawler says
My husband (active duty) gets a discount at California Tortilla, Regal movie theaters (but my dependent ID doesn’t work at the movies), and lots of diners. 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.
Kristen says
Home Depot no longer offers the 10% military discount.
Jenn says
Might be at that location we just got one a few days ago. I will have to double check that would be a real bummer.
Cookie says
Call corporate they do.
Heidi R says
Our Home Depot only gives the discount on National holidays. So we go to Lowes who give it everyday.
cookie says
@ 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
Cookie
Shauna Gaskill says
Our Home depot offers it all the time, just show ID..
Maria Ginter says
Lowe’s offers 10% to everyone you has ever served or is currently serving in the military.
Home Depot only offers 10% to active, National Guard, lifetime retirees and disabled. They only give the discount to all of our other Veterans on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends.
We appreciate Lowe’s recognizing ALL who have served.
Orsina says
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 🙂
Mike says
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.
Angelina says
I just got my flyer from Joanns and they will be giving a 20% off discount to all past and present military May 27th – 30th!
Lois N says
We have stayed there twice and love it!
GG says
The Limited just added 15% military discounts with proper ID to their already existing student and teacher discount. Note that it is not valid online and cannot be combined with other coupons they send.
Michelle Webster says
Maurices (a small clothing chain that is mostly in small towns across America) offers a 10% military discount, just show your id at check out.
Anna says
One of our Michael’s here in Tucson, AZ gives military discount of 10% off on Wed
Tami says
Golden Corral gives a military discount. Don’t be afraid to ask local businesses if they offer one. Some of the local Mom and Pop stores have them as well. Ask everywhere you shop. 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.
Claire says
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.
Chante says
Big Lots offers military discounts every Tuesday
Jessica says
is that all big lots
Amy Back says
WE just discovered that Chick Fil A offers an AWESOME discount it almost cut our bill in 1/2!!!!! 🙂
jami says
torrid does military discount and you can you it with there diva style card
R. Mac says
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!
Judy says
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!
frankie says
Most movie theaters as well.
Jessica says
I have yet to find a movie theater that will let me get a military discount at
Katie B says
All the theaters we have gotten discounts at we had to pre buy the tickets at ITT on base.
frankie says
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.
Lana says
The Houston Zoo is also Free for active duty military and 3 direct dependents. Just show your ID card at window.
Heidi says
Thanks Lana ~ I’ve added it to the list! 😉
~ Heidi
Jennifer says
The Houston Zoo website says that military families with military ID receive 50% discounted admission for up to 2 adults and 3 children.
Kelley says
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!
Tammy says
SportClips gives $3 off any haircut when you show your military ID
Whitney C. says
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.
Cookie says
Home depot provides the discount. I use mine regularly. Ask cashier to call supervisor or corporate to verify. I had to.
Gail says
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?
Jacqueline says
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.
Sandy H. says
Firehouse Subs gives a 10% discount to military & dependents.
The Frist Center in Nashville, TN, has reduced ticket price for military & dependents ($7 adult ticket instead of $10).
MICHELLE NELSON says
Old Navy is changing their military discount policy. Instead of being the 1st-4th of every month, they will have Military Mondays. You can receive 10% off every Monday with Military ID.
Jessica says
Rosa’s Cafe in Texas gives a 50% military discount to anyone in uniform, but I have had them give it to me with just an ID as well.

i know that you can also get 10% off at spencers, torrid (plus size clothing store), most I-Hops (only AD member can get it but can get it for the whole bill). there was others but i can’t remember all of them right now everytime i go into a store and i am checking out i will ask them if they do it and if so then i get the discount if not then oh well not that big of a deal lol.
Shanna says
unfortunately Spencers & some other stores do not give the discounts to the dependents 🙁
Genie says
Quaker Steak & Lube offers a 20% off military discount on Mondays. I don’t know if this is just the one near us or a chain-wide thing.
Laura says
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!
Kris says
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! 😉
melissa says
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.
Jenn says
Buckle and New York and Company also offer military discounts…I believe Buckle is 10% and NY and Co is 15%.
Pat says
Any one know of discounts on a one day pass to Disney in Orlando?
Wendi says
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.
Kathy says
Also PacSun stores give 10% off with military ID.
Kathy says
Tommy Hilfiger outlet store has 10% discount with military ID.
Kaitlyn says
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. 🙂
Sandra says
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.

Karen says
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.
Dawn says
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.
april says
I have found that to be true too. I also live in NH
Leslie says
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.
Jalyn G says
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%.
Dawn says
I really appreciate this site and the information being listed. I am a disabled veteran and my husband is still active duty and I never knew there were so many places to vacation that offered military discounts and special amenities. Thank you for your efforts to put this together.

Kris says
We stopped by the great meteor crater on our cross country trip to our new duty station and we all got in for free because we were military in transit.. That was honestly the first time we’d ever received ANYTHING free for being in the military.. they also thanked my husband for his service to our country! They were SUPER nice!

Jenny says
HD is incredibly military friendly. They offer 10% off to all military members regardless of status and they’re given hiring preference.
You’re right- this is not a site to speak negative about stores.
Autumn says
HD in Washington state will only provide military discount to active duty members. My husband has also gone into HD in his uniform and was not given a discount, you have to mention it to receive it. Every state is different…
Cheryl Hoerner says
Absolutely correct – just got discounts for new appliances – 10% – same as Lowes!!!
Carol Wilson says
Home Depot refused my veteran husband a discount. When he showed his veteran ID they cashier said they couldn’t honor it because “anyone could get a card like that.” We left our purchases on the counter and went to Lowes.
CPT Nick says
HD gives the 10% military discount up to a MAX of $50 – would NOT match LOWE’S (HD in Ft. Myers FL) Don’t know if this is ALL stores in ALL states. They said it was “corporate” decision.

Jessie says
I live in Clarksville and go to lowes almost every weekend (lots of projects) and they give discount every single time no problems.
Bryson says
Home Depot of Dawsonville, Georgia no longer gives a military discount…I know because my hubby is in the military and has been denied on multiple occasions…they state it is “no longer in their policy”…it could be up to each individual store to make these decisions…but our store does not honor the military discount like they used to in the past…
Ann says
I am sorry to hear that. Maybe they don’t appreciate what our servicemen and women do? Maybe they should stand in front of them if they can’t stand with behind them!
Tammy says
Almost everywhere we go up here in Washington state my husband and now our son gets 10% off HD,L and alot of restaurants give 10% our son is currently in and when he wears his uniform places you would not think gives discounts give discounts

Lowes and The Home Depot both give 10% military discounts in my town in Louisiana, on everything purchased regardless of sale or non-sale items, to all military (Active Duty, Guard/Reserves, Retirees). I’m Air Force retired and worked at this Home Depot store in the past.
henry says
I have recieved at lowes every day rather its a sale item or regular price and not always at Homedepot or at least sence i stopped shopping at HD told them they should like Lowes does and I hear they have in our area. To late I a now a loyal Lowes customer HD fell asleep on the Veterans and only doing it because Lowes Is at least thats the case in our area Springhill/Brooksville Florida

Karen Gee says
My retired hubby works for Lowes. It does apply to retirees also.
marla says
lowes does give the discount to retirees…
Dan says
It always depends how military-friendly a city is. I’ve been to Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania, Maine, and Massachusetts in the last 10 years. 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.
Denise Campbell says
Yes they give retired military same discount!
John says
Lowes and Home Depot give veterans 10% every day. I use it all the time. I use my VA card as i.d. My sister in law used a copy of her DD214 and they gave her the discount with no problem. She has also used it multiple times.
