Military Discounts

Allosunshine

Theres 2 websites that more or less mirror each other, www.forcesdiscounts-mod.co.uk and www.rewardsforforces.co.uk. They are both run by the same company and the forcesdiscounts-mod.co.uk is official.

....police man and she told me he gets discounts in almost every shop and restaurant he uses.

I thought that was called protection money? :rotfl:

Just wondering - why do you think Forces should get a discount? It's a bit of a strange concept. I understand that some NHS staff do, but likewise see it as a anomoly.
I'm not being critical - if there were discounts I'd take them. I'm just curious to know why - its not as if the jobs are badly paid compared to those on NMW.

ARMED Forces? Means that they have a hazardous job! One I did for 12 years, some of us got shot at, blown up, injured on exercises, all of which is still happening. Policemen are higher paid than the PBI in the deserts of Afghanistan.

Give me a break.

Soldiers are not beggers, ive bin in the army for 7 years and i have never heard any of my friends trying there luck to get money off but when its offered its a small bonus and nice to be apreciated. i suppose most small buisnesses could decide on the spot really, large companies might not have a policy were squaddies get discount but a small shop or something similar but anybody could.

Maybe a bonus for those looking at a new mobile phone Contract, Orange are Currently giving 25% line rental discount for the duration of the contract to all forces personnel.

There is a min value but I have just got a new contract for my son £26 / month down to £19.5 for length of the contract.

Yeomans Outdoor Leisure give 10% discount to HM Forces.

Got the kids jackets there just before christmas and asked if they gave discount and they do! Always worth asking!

Further to my British Airways non existant military discount. I managed to get a reply from them via twitter. They said:Sorry - we do not offer this any more. Thank you for your comments. I then pointed out they offer it to US military, their reply:Sorry we are unable to offer this, ***** and to disappoint you.
So BRITISH Airways refuse to support our military, thanks a lot. Virgin do as do many more however, they are not unique to the military but I suppose better than nothing. BA should be ashamed.
