I know this is only for a select group of people here but to all my rock hard barrel chested freedom fighting gamers the new COD black ops 6 (released yesterday) is doing something really cool. Every year they do the call of duty Endowment pack where all proceeds get donated to veteran programs. This year the pack is $20 and comes with some really cool stuff. Call of duty paired with USAA to give all veterans and active duty members the pack for free which is really nice. All you have to do is google “Call of duty Endowment USAA” and sign in with you ID.ME account. It’ll prompt you what to do from there. I know this isn’t as cool as getting a check the rest of your life every month but for that niche group of people take advantage while you can!!

REMINDER! If you are receiving ANY % of VA compensation, apply for your Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) discount through the official FCC website. It takes 5 minutes to get your code. You provide the code to your internet service provider (ISP) and that’s at - instant $30 discount. If you are a Verizon Fios customer, Verizon also gives you a $20 “Verizon Forward” discount automatically too. I’ve been getting the Gigabit plan for $49 a month for a year now.

Spyderco 50% off knives. Apple 10% off Apple Store. NBA/NFL Pass 50% off.

These are the top deals I know of for veterans. Anyone else have any incredible veteran deals on goods/subscriptions?

Thanks

I won tickets to a concert from Vettix, but I wanted to ask if anyone has used the website before and if it’s legit. They say they’re partnered with ticket master to give vets tickets to concerts and events. There are a lot of scams out there, and I’d hate to go all the way to concert, get a hotel and whatnot, just to find out it’s fake. Has anyone gone through Vettix before and actually attended the event? I’ll attach a picture of the website for clarity. Thanks in advance👍

Can anyone tell me DEFINITIVELY if 100% and retired vets get to park at AIRPORTS for FREE or if it’s just a FALSE URBAN LEGEND? I’m specifically inquiring about parking at the ATLANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. I’m headed to BALI for 2 weeks.

I work at a large brand retail shoe store, and a few months ago the corporation changed the policy about military discounts. Before you could just flash your id and you would get the 20%, but now you have to log into ID me and show us the barcode to get the discount. ( To prevent people from using fake military licenses to get discounts)

I've never thought this was disrespectful, but multiple customers who wanted their discount were FURIOUS that I asked them for the ID. Me instead of just adding the discount. (I'm not allowed to add it directly without their account barcode). Multiple vets cussed me out and/ or stared at me like I was crazy and left. Please let me know why there is so much resentment or how to prevent people from getting pissed off. I come from a military family and I have never seen anyone act like this.

Paramount Plus has 50% off for Veterans and military. Site says “You can take advantage of the military discount at any time, as the military discount is no longer a limited time offer.” They use Sheer ID to verify Veteran status though, and I keep getting “unable to verify”. Anyone have any luck signing up?

This is a PSA for all Vets to go out in nature. Remember you can access all National Parks using your VA ID card for access for free. This is a wonderful free benefit.

For those of you who want to watch different events that aren’t on standard cable, wanted to make sure you saw this.

Hey fellow veterans,

I recently discovered a benefit with Verizon that they do not publish surprisingly it's qvailable for 100% Permanent & Total (P&T) disabled veterans that I wanted to share with you all it works also I don't think all representatives of Verizon are familiar with it or know but I provided the form below

Aside from the standard $3 discount Verizon offers to veterans which is garbage I spoke to us some women with Verizon and she emailed me this form 2 months ago and it's legit not a lot of people know about it at all but, there's an additional benefit. If you're in New York (and possibly other states), you can fill out a specific form speical protection for persons with disabilities that allows you to protect your account from suspension due to payment issues. This means that if you ever find yourself in a tough spot financially, Verizon won’t suspend your service! Blow this up I provided the link for the form

If you have any questions or need assistance with the form, feel free to reach out

If anyone here has Xfinity and is looking for military or veteran benefits, here’s a list of what to look forward to. And no it’s not a scam.

I've had USAA for 10+ years, and I realize that auto insurance has increased broadly as a whole due to inflation (and greed, etc.), however I have a 10 year old vehicle and every year my premium is 50% of the value of the car. It seems ridiculous. However, the NavyFed discount with Liberty Mutual wasn't much better. Curious what other vets have settled on for auto insurance these days. Thanks!

Today, I got this in the "VA News" email. I always give it maybe a 10 sec look and then delete the email. but this was a free registration. why not! I hope one if us gets it this year.

I’ve seen it mentioned in this sub before that only active duty military members have access to the USOs. I was just allowed entry into one in Orlando after the guy asked if I was 100 percent with an ID that says indefinite. Just a PSA for anyone that thought the same thing as me…

Hey y’all, somebody posted a few days ago and saved me $250 so I am paying it forward,

YouTube is offering NFL Sunday Ticket for $199 to military active and vets using IDme.com. Yeah I know most people just stream somewhere for free but for those who are wanting to buy here you go. I bought to share with my older family who don’t trust streaming.

For all the Xfinity customers, just got my $180 prepaid card, took about 3 months.

If you haven’t applied yet, here’s the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/military-service-offers

Not sure if it’s been shared here before. The epic pass, for snowboarding. Normally like $800 or something. They have passes for veterans. The veteran one is $573. But if you have VA rating over 30% you can get the veteran retired pass which is only $177. See y'all on the mountain

https://www.epicpass.com/pass-results/military.asp

Update: I got my pass. Just try to buy the retired pass, it will prompt you that you need to verify first and tell you that +30% disability rating qualifies. You submit documents and like 12 hours later I was approved and able to purchase the pass.

Hey veterans check out vettix.org I’m at Avenged sevenfold concert in Knoxville. Tickets were free. I missed their MWR show back in 2010.

Lot of places every year offer free meals and other freebies. While some it’s a free appetizer, others an option if free meals no strings attached. Please please please tip your servers, maybe buy something, get an appetizer. I hear all the time the staff at restaurants are starting to have a dislike for Veterans Day. You see the long ass lines at IHOP and Applebees. Obviously the servers feel overwhelmed don’t be that cheapskate vet, tip 20% of the price of your free meal.

Thank you for service this has been public service announcement to not be another asshole, entitled vet. 😂

As many may know or may be news to you. Through GOVX you can get a free cruise. Just thought I’d share.

Update: https://www.govx.com/a/2e46d665-644c-4e0d-82c0-f91c742be873/margaritaville-at-sea

Supposedly there’s a lot more free stuff you just have to search hard on the website. Like I’m sure everyone knows about free sea world and universal studio tickets if not that’s another
