How to Find and Claim Discounts
ID.me and SheerID partner with retailers to confirm whether shoppers qualify for special discounts.
Both also operate a shopping portal where military members, veterans, and other eligible shoppers can browse discounts from participating businesses.
The process is relatively straightforward. Create an account, verify your military status, and then browse the available offers. Verification may involve providing information about your service, using a military email address, or uploading an acceptable document.
Once verified, you can use ID.me or SheerID at participating retailers, typically by selecting a verification option during checkout and signing in to your account. You generally won’t need to repeat the entire verification process for every purchase.
You don’t necessarily have to register for these services before shopping. Many retailers provide links to these verification programs on their own sites.
For in-person purchases, the process may be as simple as showing identification or providing a phone number associated with an existing military discount account.
If you’re a veteran who doesn’t have a military ID, the Department of Veterans Affairs offers a free digital Veteran ID Card that can be used to demonstrate your status at participating businesses. A VA health identification card or a state-issued driver’s license with a veteran designation may also work, depending on the retailer.
It’s also worth noting that a military discount doesn’t guarantee you the best price. So it’s smart to compare offers, especially during major sales events. Pay attention to the exclusions, too. Some retailers don’t apply military discounts to certain brands, electronics, appliances, or other bargains. Others limit how often you can use a discount or how much you can save.
If you’re shopping online, make sure the discount actually appears in your cart before completing your order. If it doesn’t, double-check that you’ve successfully verified your military status and that the items you’re purchasing are eligible. You may need to contact the retailer directly to resolve a problem at checkout.
Finally, don’t be afraid to ask. Smaller businesses and local retailers may offer military discounts even if they don’t prominently advertise them. A quick question at checkout could uncover savings you might otherwise miss.
