How to verify eligibility
- 1.Verify online with ID.me: create a free account and confirm your veteran status by uploading a DD214, VA benefit letter, or other separation document. Most major retailers use ID.me at checkout to apply veteran pricing.
- 2.Use SheerID where a retailer supports it: this instant-verification service confirms your veteran status against military records or by reviewing an uploaded document, then issues a one-time promo code.
- 3.Show physical proof in stores: bring a Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC) from the VA, a Veteran ID Card (VIC), a state driver's license with a veteran designation, or your DD214 when asked at the register.
- 4.Keep your DD214 handy as your primary proof of service and character of discharge; many verification systems and businesses accept it as the gold-standard document.
- 5.Retirees can also present a DoD Uniformed Services ID (retiree ID card) for discounts that require current military-affiliated ID, in addition to veteran-specific offers.
- 6.Re-verify periodically: online verification links and codes expire, so you may need to re-confirm your status through ID.me or SheerID for repeat purchases.
What kinds of discounts to look for
Travel

Percentage-off online and in-store purchases at major retailers, typically verified via ID.me or SheerID at checkout.

Reduced monthly rates and waived fees on wireless plans for verified veterans, with military status confirmed during signup.

Savings on insurance, home improvement, tires, and auto service, plus veteran-focused financial products.

Financial

Tips to save more
- Stack discounts where allowed: combine a veteran offer with sale pricing, a store credit card, or a coupon to maximize savings, though some retailers limit stacking.
- Always ask, even when a veteran discount isn't advertised. Many businesses honor unpublished discounts if you show proof of service at the register.
- Check the eligibility and last-verified dates on each listing before you shop, since offers change and expired deals waste your time.
- Set up ID.me and keep your DD214 or VA ID accessible so you can verify instantly at checkout without hunting for documents.
- Look beyond Veterans Day: many of the best year-round veteran discounts are quieter than the holiday promotions but available every day.

What documents prove I'm a veteran for discounts?
The most widely accepted proof is your DD214 (separation document). Retailers and verification services like ID.me and SheerID also accept a Veteran Health ID Card (VHIC), a Veteran ID Card (VIC), a VA benefit letter, or a driver's license with a veteran designation.
Do military retirees qualify for veteran discounts?
Yes. Retirees qualify for veteran discounts and can also use their DoD Uniformed Services retiree ID card for offers that require current military-affiliated identification, giving them access to both veteran and active-affiliated deals.
What is ID.me and why do retailers use it?
ID.me is a free third-party identity service that confirms your veteran status by verifying documents like a DD214 or VA letter. Retailers use it so they can offer discounts online without you mailing in paperwork; you verify once and apply the discount at checkout.
Can I get veteran discounts online, or only in stores?
Both. Online discounts are usually applied through ID.me or SheerID verification at checkout, while in-store discounts typically require you to show a physical veteran or retiree ID or your DD214 at the register.
Are veteran discounts only available on Veterans Day?
No. While many restaurants and retailers run special Veterans Day promotions, a large number of veteran discounts on travel, phone plans, retail, and services are available year-round. Check each listing's dates to confirm current availability.
Do family members of veterans get discounts too?
Some discounts extend to spouses and dependents, but eligibility varies by offer. Filter the directory by eligibility group to find deals that specifically include spouses, dependents, or the whole family.
