Here are the best military discounts for troops

It can be a bit disheartening to pop out your military ID and ask "you guys offer a military discount?" only to have the cashier shake their head no and then ask you a couple awkward questions about your service before giving you your Slim Jim and 6 pack. Thankfully, we've wrangled up 10 solid military discounts all in one place!

Avis

Avis better have a deep stock of blacked-out Dodge chargers and unnecessarily lifted Ford F150s on hand--because they offer up to 25% total discounts for all military members and their families. Boots can use that little bit of extra savings and get a model with heated seats for that Tinder date they're going to propose to in 3 months. Toss in a sunroof too, so the Oakley sunglasses eternally perched on your baseball hat can finally block something from the sun.

Jiffy Lube

Most military members don't know this, but Jiffy Lube actually offers a 25% discount off most services. There are a couple of reasons why many troops don't know this. For one thing, most folks in the military know how to change their own oil. For another—some might think that "Jiffy Lube" is just slang for finding 2 minutes of, ahem, private time in the barracks.

Kohl's

As of April 2019, Kohl's recently instated a 15% military discount. There's a catch with this one—you can't use it in addition to a pre-existing discount, or with select brands such as Levi's, Uggs, Columbia, or Timberland. But it works with gift cards, so you'll really be able to stretch that unused birthday present your aunt gave you in 2014.

Home Depot

Ahh Home Depot—home to the mysteriously intoxicating scent of sawdust and mulch. Home Depot gives 10% discounts to all veterans and active duty servicemen. This applies to anything in store, so go ahead and load up on a whole bunch of parts for that project you are (never going to finish) working on.

Foot Locker

Verify your military service through SheerID (which you should do anyway–tons of savings on there) and Foot Locker will give you 20% off all products in store. Walk around pensively holding a pair of Nike basketball kicks, knowing full well you're just gonna buy another pair of grey Vans with those savings.

Sirius XM

Sirius XM offers a very significant 25% off their subscription price for all military vets, reservists, and active duty servicemen. This gives you the opportunity to listen to Howard Stern on the 4-minute drive from the base to the bar.

Disneyland & Disney World

Disneyland offers a 3-day reservation for only 8 or 4 days for 8 for military members. That's a pretty solid discount that gives you plenty of savings to spend on the sweetest treat west of the Mississippi— Disneyland churros.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft offers 30% off its office software for all military members and their families. Use the excel spreadsheets to track how much money you lost playing Spades on deployment this year. Or use the word processor to type up a couple college essays. Or use powerpoint to fall asleep.

Eastbay

This online sneaker juggernaut offers 20% off via SheerID. They've got a pretty slick selection of sneakers, and an even better selection of athletic gear and cleats. So you can finally look like a total badass while losing your co-ed intramural basketball game by 30 points.

 NFL Shop

NFL Shop offers a cool 15% discount to all military members, veterans, spouses, and immediate family members. The online store is very convenient, as it gives Bills fans a chance to google who their quarterback is on the day they purchase a jersey.
