Military Members, Veterans and their families can save thousands each year with these amazing benefits and discounts!
Over the past few months we’ve compiled a list with the most liked and sought-after benefits and discounts – some offer big discounts others even free products and services to both active and retired military personnel and their families! Some of these benefits are well known but most are not widely publicized and thus not known by too many.

Commissary, Military Service Exchange, and MWR access extended to more Veterans beginning January!

Are you paying too much for your mortgage? Servicemembers and Veterans can cut their mortgage and take home $42,000!
Both Active Personnel and Veterans are often surprised to find out about the mortgage reduction plans they’re eligible for. Studies show 68% have been overpaying for the past years now as their realtor/lender was not familiar with VA/Military loans and its structures or didn’t pass on the low interest rates.
Most Servicemembers and Veterans are eligible for refinancing their mortgages and take an average of $42,000 (YES! More than 40k!!!) off their mortgage. We would also recommend getting a quote if you’re planning to move into a new home as there are plenty of options for Servicemembers!
What a 2.25% difference really means:
$200k loan @ 5.5%
$1,136 per month
$408,960 total cost
$200k loan @ 3.25%

Got a VA rating? You can get a free lifetime National Parks Pass
A little-known benefit from the Interior Department gives military veterans with any disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs a free lifetime pass to national parks and other recreation areas, as well as discounts on some fees.
The lifetime Access Pass is advertised as available to those who “have been medically determined to have a permanent disability … does not have to be a 100 percent disability.” - A National Parks official confirmed that any veteran with a disability rating from the VA should be able to access it.
“If a veteran has [a] disability paper that states they have a 10 percent disability, etc., the ranger would accept it,” Kathy Kupper, a National Parks spokesperson, said in an email.
Veterans who have been medically determined to have a disability are eligible for the Lifetime Access Pass—with three options for obtaining the pass:
- Order the Access Pass online
- Obtain the pass by mail by filling out a paper application form
- Visit a participating federal recreation site where interagency passes are issued

New 2020 rule for Military & Veteran Drivers! Cut your rates in half and find rates as low as $36/mo!
For years insurance rates have only been going up and up, BUT starting this year 2020 rates can be cut down. Most military personnel are shocked to find out how much they can save by simply switching to a new 2020 policy!
Most insurance companies and brokers will not tell you this because they are getting paid on commission and want you to keep paying high rates but if you live in a qualified zip code and had no DUI in the last 2 years you might be eligible for a huge discount on your current rate! In our self-test we were able to lower our rate from almost $120 to only $40 with the same coverage!

We all know deployment inevitably demands a visit from Uncle Murphy!
If you’re new to the military, you’re probably shaking your head in confusion. Who’s Uncle Murphy? If you’re not new, you already know: Murphy’s Law goes into effect the minute your leave. The car will break. The newly replaced air conditioner will suddenly need to be completely replaced again. The roof will collapse. And you will lose your keys.
Protect your home with a home warranty plan and never pay for covered home repairs again!
Imagine this, you’ve fixed the AC a few weeks ago and have just been deployed – zap, it’s out. You’re not around and your spouse might not have the time or knowledge to fix the issue. What do you do now? You don’t have the time to deal with this and you shouldn’t have to while you’re deployed!
Still unknown to many is that you can get a home warranty even years after buying a house! A Home Warranty Plan is similar to a homeowner’s insurance plan, but it actually covers many things that an insurance plan won’t like a broken refrigerator, a broken furnace or the replacement of air conditioning unit.

Jury Awards Iraq Veteran $1.7 Million in Crucial 3M Bellwether Trial!
Everyone knows about the pending 3M cases, and now a jury has finally reached a verdict! At the end of June, a federal jury concluded earplug manufacturer 3M shares some liability for an Army veteran’s hearing loss after using their product while serving, as they knowingly sold a defective product to the U.S. Military. They awarded $1.7 million to Lloyd Baker, one of more than 230,000 military personnel or veterans who sued 3M. The positive outcome of the trial opens the door for other compensation claims!
In case this somehow flew over your head, and you’ve never heard about it: 3M knowingly sold defective equipment to the U.S. forces from 2003 to 2015. They have already settled a lawsuit by the DoD for around $7.1m and now face hundreds of thousands of private claims.
Join the Largest Consolidated Federal Mass Tort in U.S. History
If you have served between 2003 – 2015, were issued the CAEv2 (Combat Arms Earplugs by 3M) and suffer from hearing loss or tinnitus, we believe you deserve compensation. 3M has made a fortune selling defective earplugs to the military, exposing you to dangerous sound levels while you trusted them to keep you save!
A lawsuit settlement will NOT BAR YOU from also receiving VA Disability Benefits. The litigation is against 3M for knowingly selling faulty earplugs, not the U.S. Military.
