✅ How to Verify Your Military Status
Most companies use one or more of the following verification methods. We recommend setting up your ID.me account first, as it works with the most companies.
ID.me
The most widely used digital verification platform. Create a free account at id.me and verify your military status once — then use it at 500+ retailers. Accepts DD-214, military ID, VA health card, and other documents.
SheerID
Used by many apparel and tech brands. Instant verification by entering your military details — checks against DoD databases in real-time.
INSTANT
Free Verification
Military ID (CAC / Retiree ID)
Show your Common Access Card (active duty), Retiree ID, or dependent ID at the register. Most in-store discounts accept this.
DD-214 / VA Health Card
Your DD-214 discharge paperwork or VA health card can be used to verify veteran status at many locations. Keep a copy handy.
GovX
Military and government discount marketplace. Create a free account to access exclusive pricing from 700+ brands including YETI, Oakley, 5.11, and more.
💡 Tips for Maximizing Your Military Discounts
- Set up ID.me first. One verified account unlocks discounts at hundreds of companies. It takes about 5 minutes.
- Always ask. Many local businesses offer military discounts that aren't advertised. It never hurts to ask at the register.
- Check before Veterans Day. Plan your route for Veterans Day freebies — many restaurants have limited hours or require dine-in.
- Stack discounts carefully. Some military discounts can be combined with sales or coupons — others cannot. Read the fine print.
- Get the Veteran designation on your driver's license. Many states let you add "VETERAN" to your state ID, which can serve as proof for in-store discounts.
- Sign up for GovX. Their marketplace aggregates exclusive military pricing from hundreds of outdoor, tactical, and lifestyle brands.
- Switch your cell phone plan. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon military plans can save $300-600/year for a family plan.
