Military discounts

[meo]

I remember a post similar, but not sure I've seen such a consolidated listing as this one -- also cannot verify every one of them but it's worth calling/checking/asking. This was sent to me in an email...and I apologize if I'm breaking some protocol or something...hope not

 

Here is a short list of places that offer military discounts. Please call your local vendors to be sure they participate in the program. Also, never be afraid to ask a store if they offer a discount, even if one is not advertised. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks!

I have found that many of these don't, and I live the military saturated area on Hampton Roads. Guess they don't need to give a discount when many in the area are military! Kinda stinks!

I agree -- we're in the same area (peninsula) and I know for a fact that my favorite choco chip pancakes are never discounted!! LOL! However, the smaller businesses usually do if you ask (like the mom and pop shops) -- I've taken to always asking b/c a lot of them even if they don't, will say yes and give you 10% regardless b/c they know it's good for business...and some of them just never really thought about it until you asked, kwim?

I make it a point to drop the "we're military" bomb during every conversation when I'm buying something. lol Today I was scheduling an auto transport for a vehicle we bought and we got a military discount. I think the fast food discounts are only valid on post or base. Notice most of them are ones you would find on base.
