To show appreciation for those who are serving or have served in the military, many companies offer discounts and deals.
Some companies only offer these discounts to active service members, whereas others extend the courtesy to any military personnel (active or retired) and their families.

Below, we’ve compiled the list of places that offer military discounts, including restaurants, clothing stores, electronics companies, home improvement stores, sporting goods stores, and more. We also highlight the best discounts available in each category.
