Military discount
The moment that you join the military any branch, a whole new life will begin for you. If youre deployed overseas, your life changes even more quickly than what you may have expected. There are lots of advantages and disadvantages to being in the military, but some nice perks do go hand-in-hand with serving your country.
Youll find that quite a few things that you will do or purchase during your years of service may entitle you to get a military discount. Serving your country is greatly appreciated and a military discount is rightfully earned for so many things. While a husband or wife is away, the family may be entitled to take advantage of a military discount as well. If youre looking for a new vehicle, there are military discounts that exist. Sure, you may have to ask for them at times as they may not always be advertised, but they do exist. Taking a few moments to inquire may save you a nice sum of money. Theme parks, such as Disney, will offer a military discount on tickets. Buying a house has incentives as well. You may not get a military discount on purchasing a house but there are lots of financing opportunities available to military men and women that the general public never has accessible to them.
There are places that you can go and get a military discount on clothing and other products. Check online at militarynow.com and see what just how much money you can save yourself. It never hurts to speak up and ask. If youre at a restaurant, go ahead and ask if they have any military discounts. If youre making a large purchase that will require monthly payments, it doesnt hurt to ask at the time. All that the company can say is that they do not offer a military discount and theres no harm done. You may gain some great savings, but only if you know where to look and arent afraid to ask.
In some instances, you can get a military discount on travel. Arrive at the airport for your flight in your uniform and you may get a discounted ticket or some preferential treatment. It is always best to mention the interest in a discount before purchasing the ticket but for getting a last minute ticket youll find that the price may be satisfactory and youll be placed on a flight that for someone else, may be overbooked.
Most people are grateful for our troops. They may be more than happy to help out a military individual or family by offering discounts. And for those times in which youre just not sure if a discount is offered ask. People just may be more willing to offer savings and discounts than you can imagine.
