Home Depot

While we’ve gotten a lot of feedback from visitors, apparently Home Depot offers a 10% off discount to active duty military.

Unfortunately, they don’t do a very good job of explaining the exact terms and conditions of the military discount anywhere on their website.

Lowe’s Home Improvement

Lowe’s offers a 10% off discount to all active duty members of the military, as well as their family members.

They allow you to redeem the discount both in stores, and on their website. Some of the restrictions include the discount not being available to anything other than an honorable discharge, and it can’t be stacked with other offers or coupons.

Lumber Liquidators

Lumber Liquidators gives back to military members by providing a 5% discount on all regularly-priced orders.

This is a smaller discount compared to what is often offered by retailers, but it can still make a big impact on the amount of money you pay for hardwood flooring.

Busch Gardens has a few different military discounts, which vary by location and by military status.

This deal gives current military members free admission to the parks, at both the Williamsburg location and the Tampa location.

Dollywood

Dollywood offers 30% off of a daily admission ticket for their military discount. This deal is only available for tickets bought in person at the gate.

The Disney military discount is available only to eligible service members or their spouses (but not both parties).

Disney World

Disney World offers 2 main discounts for military:

  1. Disney Armed Forces Salute, and
  2. A Regular Military Discount

The Armed Forces Salute deal brings admission prices down to just over half of their typical cost.

The Disney Armed Forces Salute discount is available for 4 or 5 day ticket passes, and the price of a 4 day ticket is $241 plus tax.

The “regular” military discount is nowhere near as good as the Armed Forces Salute, but it will still entitle you to a savings of 4% – 8% of the total ticket price.

Great Wolf Lodge

The indoor water park / hotel offers a 30% discount on select rooms, during available dates.

You can also receive the discount if you are work as a Firefighter, EMS, Law Enforcement Officer, 911 dispatcher, or correctional officer.

This free admission can be used on any day of the year, including holidays and weekends.

You can take advantage of the deal by signing up with ID.me, and redeeming your free tickets online.

Additionally, Seaworld offers reduced price tickets via your local Ticket and Travel office.

The discount is not nearly as good as their Waves of Honor program, but at least it’s something!

Six Flags offers some steep military discounts for our men and women in uniform at nearly all of their locations.

You can save anywhere from 20% – 40% if you’re currently serving in the military.

However, they have come up with a few creative ways to give back to military members throughout the years.

Universal Studios

Discounted admission to the park is available both at your local MWR/ITT, or at the gate.

Marriott offers a discount for government and Military personnel.

The discount varies widely depending on the date, the hotel location and the room availability.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings has stores that are owned by their corporation, and stores that are individually owned and run.

However, many if not most of the Buffalo Wild Wings locations offer military discounts.

This deal typically gives military members, both past and present, 10% off their meal.

Chick-fil-A

Although there are a few different ways to save with Chick-fil-A, a Military Discount is not one that is advertised on their website or social media accounts.

Several sources have noted that participating locations offer a 10% off military discount.

Select locations also offer a Military Appreciation Day every year. 

Chipotle

While they don’t offer a daily military discount, Chipotle offers a buy-one-get-one free offer on Veterans day.

Often picking a weeknight leading up to this National Holiday, Chipotle extends their generous offer for military members and their spouses as a prelude in recognition of those that sacrifice the most in defense of this country.

Additionally, OMK found other ways you can save at Olive Garden.

Outback Steakhouse has partnered with Operation Homefront to provide a Heroes Discount.

The discount is for 10% off of your entire check, and can be redeemed by active and retired military personnel, police officers, firefighters, and EMT’s.

Papa John’s

It was a bit unclear as to whether or not Papa John’s actually offers a military discount.  Some users reported that they do, but when we tried the coupon codes out ourselves, they didn’t work.

With that said, there are other ways to save at the pizza chain.

Pizza Hut

I often wondered if they had a discount for the military. But when OMK inquired about this, I was told that Pizza Hut does not have any sort of military discount.

With that said, there are other ways to save at the pizza chain.

The discount program used to be called Military Monday, but a representative from Red lobster confirmed with me that it’s available everyday.

Apple

Apple offers a 10% off discount to members of the military, as well as special government rates and an online store dedicated to US Government employees.

This store is exclusive to employees of the US Govt., and the savings they provide are unreal.

Of course, there are a few restrictions as well.

Avast 

While Avast doesn’t actually offer up a military discount, they do have affiliations with Deal and coupon sites that can help you save some money.

Best Buy

OMK spoke directly with our local Best Buy, and they informed me that they have not had an official military discount available for several years.

This is supported by a forum post I came across on the official Best Buy website, which stated the same. 

With that said, there are other ways to save.

Dell

Dell offers a great military discount which can help you save anywhere from 10% – 30% depending on what you order.

For example, Dell PC’s, tablets, and electronics typically have a 10% discount.

On the other hand, select Dell products can offer as much as a 30% savings.

Dell also has an exclusive military store similar to Apples.  You can confirm your eligibility with their partner Veterans Advantage, and once you’re in they will hook you up big time!

Gamestop

Unfortunately, Gamestop does not offer a daily military discount.

However, we decided to include it on this page because they support military families.

The Call of Duty Endowment is a non-profit foundation that helps veterans find high quality jobs through raising awareness of the value that veterans provide and supporting groups that help veterans find jobs.

Additionally, OMK found a few other ways for you to save a few bucks on your next Gamestop order.

Garmin

Though Garmin does not have a direct discount for military members, they are a Brand Partner with GovX.

This means that military members can still get exclusive deals on Garmin products.

GoPro

While they don’t offer a specific military discount on their official website, GoPro offers discounts on select items via GovX.

Those items include things like HERO7 Black and White cameras, Sports kits, travel kits, and adventure kits, and changes all the time.

They also allow first responders like firefighters, police officers, and EMT’s to redeem the discount as well.

HP

HP has a background of working with the United States Military, and they continue to give back to service members through a military discount.

While not specifically a military discount in the traditional sense of the word, you’ll save as much as 35%.

Lenovo

The Lenovo military discount entitles you to a savings of 7% off your order, both via ID.me and / or with an APO or FPO.

While this might not sound like a lot, you have to consider that many of their products are in the $100’s or $1,000’s in retail pricing.

The savings can really add up!

Microsoft Office

Microsoft offers a military discount for their flagship Office 365 Home Military Edition product.

The discount will save you $30, and you can claim it both online, and in a nearby Microsoft store.

You can also find the military discount available on ShopMyExchange.com, an online version of a military PX.

NewEgg

NewEgg offers 1 year of free premier for active duty members of the military.

Samsung

Samsung offers up to a 30% savings with their military discount. You have to register with their site to redeem it, but it’s pretty straightforward.

There are some restrictions with the military discount, including purchase maximums and certain category restrictions.

The benefits of signing up for Veterans Advantage is that you can claim a TON of other military discounts.

Enterprise Rent A Car

Like most (if not all) of the other major car rental companies in the US, Enterprise Rent-A-Car offers a military discount as well.

You can expect to get a 5% discount on your car rental if you’re active-duty military, a military retiree, or a veteran.

You can also save more by signing up for Veterans Advantage, as well as redeem special perks and discounts.

Hertz

If you’re a government / federal employee, you might want to check out Hertz’s military discount. They offer some of the best govt. rates you will find for car rentals in the US.

To use the discount enter the code MILITARY when booking your rental.

Uhaul offers a 10% – 15% military discount, but it’s not so cut and dry.

Officially, they don’t advertise a military discount anywhere in their company literature, or on their official site.

With that said, some existing customers claim that when you give them a call they may apply a discount to your final bill once you notify them that you are active duty or retired military.
