Military Discounts

Totally didn’t see this haha

 

ExpertVoice is great. I'm an ambassador for them. Here is the link to sign up. If you need any assistance, PM me. Also, I recommend Outdoor Prolink. Shop between the two pro deals sites, since I get some products from one, but not the other (like Darn Tough Socks).

Otherwise, many retailers allow for direct sign-up of pro-deals. Hence the consolidation deals via Expertvoice and Putdoor Prolink to help with a "one-stop shop" option.

 

Awesome ill check them out, i was part of Patagonia pro which was awesome but they are no longer accepting military applications due to “covid”

 

I've tried for their pro deal a few times, even when I was in the military. You have to be doing something to literally "save the world." I believe the SOCOM guys get the deal, but anyone else in the military is hard-pressed to get it. I even have an outdoor guide business and they don't accept me as qualifying.

 

Yeah luckily they accepted my application a couple years ago, it was only when i tried to renew it was when they finally axed me.

 

Great thread guys. If you have Taco Bueno in your locations, they offer active/veteran discount....20%

 

were you at tinker or just retire there?

 

I didn't put in 20, but I am an Okie by birth so I processed out at Tinker for 3 weeks....i was forward deployed in Japan while active...Airwing 5 onboard USS Independence...HS-12 and VS-21

 

gotcha. Spent some time there at VQ’s and was curious lol

 

I tried to get VQ there... Detailer laughed at me when I asked about it.... I wanted to re-enlist, I was just coming off 4 yrs of sea duty... I was only supposed to be forward deployed for 2 yrs... I Extended (OTEIP)... Was supposed to get shore duty for doing it... But I was still an E-3...so that kinda screwed me..... I was an ADAN(AW) after 4 yrs..... I PNA'd my first test .... Detailer pissed me off so bad I said Fuck it and got out. My skipper even tried to pull some strings for me... No joy.

 

I’m proud to be a veteran but I almost feel like a tool when asking if xyz business has a military discount.

 

i always hate asking unless i know it could save me a ton of money ie truck parts, or expensive gear

 

Guess this could be considered a “discount” since many have the high end credit cards for free.

check your Amex platinum offers, some good ones got loaded today for Home Depot and Best Buy (spend $50 get $50 in statement credit).
For those that don’t have the card and are active duty, they waive the $550 annual fee when you sign up (put military as source of income) for the Amex Platinum and the Chase Sapphire Reserve.

many credit card companies will waive annual fees on most other cards as well if you have one and will also refund you any annual fees going back to (I think) 2016 time frame.

 

Lenovo computers offers one as well. Don't know what the percentage is, but it looked like less than 10% and is stackable with other discounts such as coupon codes.

Dell was pissing me off updating my address so I could order something-then they jacked up the price on my saved cart, so I found something similiar at Lenovo for about $600 cheaper.

 

I tried getting it as a reserve, didn't work, and had to pay the fee. But I'll say I've "spent/made back" every $550 in rewards! Just placed two HD orders (Ship to Home only) and got the $50 in credit each time.

I'll just cancel the card when my annual fee is due.

 

Same here. Fully intend on keeping it when I retire in a few years.

 

...^^^... No Amazon Prime discount for veterans this year (2020) ... I missed 2019 and tried in 2020 and the lady said it was discontinued.

 

Backcountry offers 20% for military.
