Snuggie Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Progenex (a protein powder mostly used by Crossfitters) has a 20% military discount. You just have to email them at customerservice@progenexusa.com from your .mil address and they will give you the coupon code.
discus Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 For any of you who frequent Southwest, with their new military contract, their military discounts are now substantial for last second travel. You have to call them on the phone, and the ticket is non-refundable. You can buy tickets day before travel for around $170 each way. 3

JS Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 The local Lowe's and Home Depot both still give me 10% off every day of the year, not just Veteran's Day and Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget to ask.

It looks like it is only giving you a free month but it will give you a whole year for free.
Disregard Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Another bump for the American Express Platinum charge card with the $450 annual fee waived for active duty military members. AMEX Platinum Benefits include$200 Annual Airline Credit$100 application fee reimbursed for Global EntryGold Status With Starwood HotelsFree Airport Lounge Access for You and Two GuestsCar Rental Elite StatusNo Foreign Transaction FeesPlatinum Concierge I purchased $200 in United gift certificates which was promptly reimbursed by AMEX. I've used the free access to airport lounges three times in the last two weeks: twice in the Delta Sky Club and once in the US Airways Club (doesn't work for United). I haven't had a chance to use the Starwood Gold benefits yet, but that's good for a late checkout option to 4 o'clock among other things. Can't say no to free money. $200 and 8 free drinks drinks so far.
Disregard Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) AMEX waives the annual fee as part of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, so they need your name, birthdate, and the date you entered active duty. Check out the SCRA website at https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/ Edited May 29, 2013 by Disregard
Disregard Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 AMEX SCRA.pdf Keep working until you talk to the right person. I had to get the card first and then call back to get the fee waived. It was gone before the first payment was due.
flame4chevy Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 This is the letter I got: To support the men and women who serve in the United States Armed Forces, we are handling your account referenced above in accordance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act provides for a maximum annual interest rate of 6% per year on loans you received before starting active military duty.

RTB Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Doesn't matter when you upgrade or ask for the credit...you can upgrade the card any time, even after you call them, and they'll still charge you $0 annual fee. I got over $1600 refunded all at once to cover a decade+ of annual fees with just a phone call. took a couple weeks for them to verify (not sure how they do that) and then it just showed up as credit. Awesome.
GearDownNoGreen Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Was shopping for a bunch of stuff at the BX yesterday and found out that through the 12th (or maybe 15th) of June if you sign up for their StarCard you get 20% off what you're buying that day. Saved just over $100 with the discount and a $20 gift card they throw in when your purchase is more than a certain amount. Little bit of paperwork to take care of and I really don't plan on using the thing anymore, but definitely worth the cash.
Smokin Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I called back after 10 weeks and they said it usually takes around 8 weeks but the department is backlogged. I'm thinking for some reason there was a wave of military applicants who somehow knew about this...
JarheadBoom Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Not quite as good as getting a shit-ton of money back from AMEX, but... If you're in the Atlanta area with your family/kids and have some time to kill, the Georgia Aquarium, The Children's Museum of Atlanta, and the SkyView Atlanta (new, big-ass Ferris wheel in Centennial Park) offer a .mil discount for the whole family.
uhhello Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 The AmEx deal takes a very long time. I had forgotten about it and couldn't figure out why I had a $200 plus refund one month.
tunes Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) finally got the letter from Amex today...after multiple calls...started the process on May 20... edit: all annual fees and foreign trans charges refunded 8/21 Edited August 22, 2013 by tunes
Right Seat Driver Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Are they requiring you to send them orders to verify you are AD?
Disregard Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Are they requiring you to send them orders to verify you are AD? They verify AD status by using https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/single_record.xhtml
PSYCH Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Was anyone able to get the AMEX Platinum and get your spouse a card as well, with the fee waived? I currently have the Delta AMEX and really get pretty good use out of the companion certificate. However, if I could get the platinum card with an extra card for my wife, with the fee waived on both, that would certainly be a good deal. Any advice?
tunes Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 up to 3 authorized user cards are waived i believe
tankerbum Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Delta Sky Lounge access with complimentary drinks. Just need ID and overseas orders.
the g-man Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Update: So I got the Platinum card and there is no $450 fee on my account. Does that get billed later? Or did putting "Commissioned Officer" on my application work?
tunes Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Update: So I got the Platinum card and there is no $450 fee on my account. Does that get billed later? Or did putting "Commissioned Officer" on my application work? it will post around 30 days after your account is opened.
Rusty Pipes Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Took me a few months, but just got a $3900 credit from AMEX for my Skymiles Platinum from the past 10 years... I called customer service and they just cut a check and put it in the mail.
slackline Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Got my AMEX reimbursed. Roughly 90 days from phone call to payment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
