    Just thought I'd post this link - some of the discounts are pretty good while others aren't so good because cheaper prices can sometimes be found elsewhere, still worth checking out though. MOD civil servants are eligible for discounts too.

    We're looking to go to Florida over Christmas.

    Thomas Cook offer between 5-8% forces discount, but we found the best deals from Virgin Holidays. If you quote 'MOD' I think you can get up to 10%.....

    ..... I'll let you know how we get on when we book ours.

    Yeah - we got a 10% discount from Virgin, which is great!

    go onto that forces discount site and you can print of a form that you give to whoever....but normally just your MOD90 will do

    Guys heres some discounts i've had when i've been out and about shopping etc maybe you can add more

    Dominos half price pizzas when you show your MOD90

    Blacks infact pretty much any outdoor clothes shop has given me 10% discount when i'be shown my MOD90

    Burger king in MOTO motorway services give a good discount again showing MOD90

    BMI flights give a HUGE discount on flights qoute "MODbmicorp" when booking (go to special offers and type in that code)


    i pretty much ask everytime i buy something if they do a forces discount as we're pretty popular at the moment

    i even got a weeks holiday in egypt in a 5 start hotel with blue o two in Hurghada for less than 300 quid that includes daily diving!!! and it was awesome https://www.blueotwo.com

    A lot of people don't know that the motorway services do MOD discounts. Little Chef actually do it also. The staff don't actually know they do it in a lot of places and have to ask - It's painful at times but worth it!

    Hi, this month we had a note in our HIVE magazine that said if you are in the RAF (don't know about the other forces) and take your ID card to Halfords, you can get a trade card which gives you big discounts.
