Car Purchases
If you’re in the market for a new car, be sure to look into military specials. Most major car companies offer some type of military pricing or discounts that are not dealership location-specific: Ford, Volvo, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota, Scion, Hyundai, Honda Lincoln, Infiniti, and General Motors all currently offer some type of a military discount.
Retailers’ military-related specials often aren’t specifically advertised outside of Military Appreciation Month, so it’s always worth the time to respectfully ask a manager or customer service if there are any discounts available and what you need to do to prove military affiliation.
Cell Phone Service
Most mobile phone companies provide some type of military special. Sprint offers up to 50% off Military family unlimited plans. Verizon Wireless offers a 15% reduction on your monthly bill and 25% off accessories. T-Mobile and AT&T offer a 15% discount on monthly service charges. Providers nTelos Wireless and Defense Mobile also give discounts. All companies mentioned require an approved proof of service.
