Military Members, Veterans and their families can save thousands in 2021 with these amazing benefits and discounts!
Over the past few months, we’ve compiled a list with the most liked and sought-after Military & Veteran discounts and benefits that either start in 2021 or have been renewed! Some of these benefits are well known, but most are not widely publicized, and they can save you thousands if you claim them starting this year!
1.
New regulations now allow dependents of Disabled Veterans to fly Space-A!
Editor’s Note: Space-A travel is currently (due to COVID-19) strictly limited to official travel to certain personnel until further notice.
Have you heard of or used Space-A travel in the past years? If you’ve got some time on your hands, it’s a great way to travel at little to no cost! Basically, Space-A flights allow passengers to fill unused seats on DoD aircraft.
Many disabled Veterans have used it since it was first introduced back in 2019 and they joined Retirees and their spouses, National Guard Members, Reserve Members, and surviving spouses of those who died on active duty in their ability to utilize this benefit.
However, dependents of disabled Veterans were not able to accompany said Veteran – at least until the end of 2020. In the middle of the Pandemic DoD rolled out a change to the eligibility requirements, permanently adding the dependents of totally or permanently disabled veterans. They can now accompany their veteran sponsor on flights within the continental US or connecting flights to and from Alaska, Hawaii or US territories.
2.
Veterans & Servicemembers can save up to $40,000 on their Mortgage in 2021!
Still available in the beginning of 2021! One of the many perks of being a veteran is access to benefits that are otherwise unavailable to civilians. Unknown to many active duty and former military members are some amazing government refinance programs available to them through their VA/GI Bill benefits which can help them save money on their existing house payments.
Currently, Congress’ mortgage relief program can lower veteran homeowner payments by as much as $3,252 per year! Who knows what will happen with the change in the administration!
The bad news? This program is very temporary, as the banks want it eliminated as soon as possible. The good news? Once you match with a lender you're in for good.
3.
Protect your family with an additional $500,000 tax free policy! SGLI is really not enough to protect the future of a young family!
Imagine this – you got married 2 years ago, a child is on the way and you’ve just moved into a new home. Everything is going as planned – but is the $400k max. SGLI/VGLI payout really enough to protect your family?
The average cost of raising a child in the US until age 17 is about $233k while the average house costs $284,600 – combining both we’re already at $517k, but we have not even factored in college education or anything else yet.
Find peace of mind with an additional $500,000!
The obvious thing to do is getting an extra policy to supplement your SGLI/VGLI but it can be really hard to find one that is A. affordable and B. does not come with a million pitfalls and exclusions for Servicemembers – such as “no war” or “no aviation” clauses.
We’ve worked out a deal with National Family Assurance for a $500,000 term life policy starting at only $1/day that comes with no physical exam and has no hidden clauses or fees! Simply answer a short questionnaire and get connected to a professional consultant for a completely free and no strings attached quote!
4.
3M claims are coming to an end! Last chance for Servicemembers & Veterans who served between 2003 – 2015 and suffer from hearing loss or tinnitus to get a significant financial compensation!
As we all know by now, 3M has paid $9.1 million to resolve the DoD’s allegations of knowingly selling defective earplugs to the forces between 2003 and 2015!
Over the past years there have been thousands of lawsuits connected to this case – last year there have been 2,051 lawsuits in Florida alone! Now with 2021 the lawsuits are approaching the last phase quicker than ever.
If you have served between 2003 and 2015, have used 3M’s CAEv2 (Combat Arms Earplugs) and suffer from either hearing loss or tinnitus we believe you’re entitled to a significant compensation as 3M has knowingly exposed you to dangerous sound levels while promising protection just to make a quick buck!
Hearing all your stories about crooks and shady lawyers charging an arm and a leg to represent you we’ve partnered up with one of the most respected law groups of the country. By going through them you can get a completely free and no strings attached consultation and get the security of not dealing with crooks who are just out to leave you with pennies on the dollar!
5.
Stop paying for home & appliance repairs out of pocket!
Imagine this: you just got back from your tour, you come back home, the thermometer has already passed 100 degrees, you turn on the AC, but nothing happens… What do you do? You call your home insurance company. ACs are not covered! What the…?! What now?
Don’t get knocked out by incredibly expensive home repairs - Fixing or replacing a broken AC or furnace can cost you thousands!
If your home was brand new your existing home warranty would cover it as most homes come with last for the first 1-2 years. But did you know you can get a warranty whenever you want? A proper home warranty covers everything a home insurance doesn’t – from broken appliances to really costly ones such as furnace breakdowns or electrical issues!
Protect your home today with an updated 2021 policy and stop worrying about the future!
6.
New 2021 rule lets Military & Veteran Drivers cut their rate in half! We’ve found rates as low as $36/month!
Here’s a little-known trick to cut down your auto insurance rates! Simply switch to another insurer and get a new 2021 policy! Unfortunately, insurance companies do not honour loyalty and only offer great rates to new customers as they are getting paid on commission and want to keep you paying their high rates for as long as possible.
BUT if you’re living in a qualified zip code and had no DUI in the past 2 years you might be eligible for massive discounts - we were able to lower our rate from over $100 to only $36 with the same coverage by claiming several discounts at once!
7.
Free and discounted fishing licenses for Military Members & Veterans!
Regularly check in with your local state government! Regulations change every year but for the most part they’re only getting better. Most states offer at least discounted – some even free – fishing licenses to Veterans and Active Duty! While some might require you to be active duty or having a certain disability rating others do not!
8.
Veterans & Military Members can save up to 43% on their utility bill by getting their windows replaced for as low as $0 down!
Everyone knows old windows do not only look bad but can cost you a massive sum by increasing your utility bills each month or even lead to serious issues around the house when moisture gets in. Poorly sealed or broken windows are among the most common reasons for mold developing!
New windows on the other hand do not only look great and increase your overall home value but also keep your house warm in the winter and cold in the summer – decreasing the power your HVAC needs and thus lowering your utility bills!
A recent study found simply by upgrading your windows to the latest standard you can save up to 43% on your utility bills!
BUT they come with a hefty price tag. At least they used to! Window companies are trying to stay afloat and this brilliant comparison website helps Military Homeowners finding the best deals in their local area by getting top licensed and insured vendors to compete for your business.
Combining local discounts, tax incentives, promotions, and financing options can lead to paying $0 down! Every homeowner should take initiative now and at least check what they qualify for as checking what you’re qualifying for comes at no cost!
9.
Cut down your energy bill with solar panels sponsored by the government!
Protecting our country and saving the environment is awesome but saving cash is even better! The government issued a renewable energy tax credit to encourage homeowners in certain ZIP codes to go solar. Check if your ZIP code qualifies here.
Some reported they were able to claim subsidies and tax breaks to cover up to 99% of the installation costs – that’s money straight into your pocket as you save big on your energy bill each month! And the best part with using this method? You literally might not need to invest even $1 into this upfront which usually is the highest cost associated with solar!
10.
This is how smart Military & Veteran Homeowners are saving $536/year on average on their home insurance rate!
When was the last time you’ve compared your home insurance rate? Has your current provider approached you with a new quote – the heavily discounted quote they offer new customers? An updated rate? A token of goodwill for your loyalty?
Probably not. Neither did ours.
And we haven’t searched for a new one either until we learned of how you can save simply by changing to another company! Homeowners can save more than $500 each year simply by shopping around!
Navigating the home insurance market seems like an undoable task though! There are so many different providers, with different coverage and different prices… fortunately, this amazing “Amazon of Home Insurance” compares rates across all providers for you – at no cost to you whatsoever!
They will always show you the lowest local rates and help you putting money back into your pocket!
11.
Your GI Bill can do much more than you think!
Most people think of college when they hear “GI Bill”, but did you know you could use it for many other programs and trainings?
The VA realizes that college is not the right path for everyone and many Servicemembers choose not to take this path. Over the past few years the GI Bill has expanded greatly and now includes things like:
- Vocational/Technical Training
- Licensing & Certification Reimbursement
- On-the-job/Apprenticeship Training
- National testing Programs such as SAT, CLEP & AP
- Flight & Correspondence Training
Please contact your local VA benefits office or seek the help of your local VSO for more information and assistance with filing a claim!

13.
If you have more than $25,000 in Credit Card Debt, start the year off by reducing your debt in months!
Medical expenses, relocation, an unexpected unemployment or simply a visit from good old uncle Murphy – there are a lot of reasons why upstanding citizens and especially Veterans, Servicemembers and their families can find themselves in a situation where they had to accumulate an insane amount of debt.
Many find themselves in a vicious cycle of minimum payments that barely cover the interest

Tricare covers birth control!
Navigating through the Tricare system can be a pain in the ass and very overwhelming! But some things can’t wait – so here’s the short answer: YES, Tricare covers birth control.
Tricare covers all birth control methods prescribed by a Tricare-authorized physician – this also includes things like diaphragms, IUDs, implantable contraceptives and surgical sterilization.
There is no cost connected to fill your prescription from a military pharmacy BUT please note if you take your prescription to an off-base Tricare network pharmacy there will be a copay. It’s usually $13 for generic & $33 for brand-name. Non network pharmacies are NOT covered.
You can also get your prescription delivered to your home – the copy ranges from $10 for generic to $29 for branded.
Attention Dependants: We should also mention that there is nothing in the Tricare policy about informing parents or sponsors of underage dependents receiving a birth control prescription according to Eileen Huck, deputy director for health care at the National Military Family Association!
This means you can get a birth control prescription without the need to talk about it with your parents!
16.
The RoundUp Cases enter a new round: Pharma giant Bayer has already set aside more than $10 Billion to settle future RoundUp claims!
When Bayer acquired Monsanto 2018 they probably didn’t think it would cost them billions to settle claims but here we are! German pharma giant Bayer “wants to leave the troubles Monsanto brought to them with RoundUp behind” and has already set aside more than $10 billion to settle future compensation cases.
We’re confident you’ve already heard of the weed killer RoundUp’s link to cancer and many who were affected by this have already received compensation. If you have not filed a claim, now is the time to do so.
Most common cancer types caused by RoundUp:
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Lymphocytic Leukemia
- CLL or ALL Leukemia
- B or T cell Lymphoma
- Hairy cell Lymphoma
- Mantle cell Lymphoma
- And more
Victims and their families who have used RoundUp in the past and have later developed cancer can get in touch today for a 100% confidential and free, no obligations case review!
17.
Attention Zantac Users: Defense Health Agency urges Beneficiaries to stop taking Zantac immediately due to link to Cancer!
Zantac has been one of the most prescribed drugs in the military history – with many Veterans and active Military Members having received countless prescriptions since 1983. Now, new research and investigation by the FDA shows Zantac is linked to cancer and the manufacturer knew about the risk but failed to inform both the Military and the public!
Many affected Veterans & Servicemembers are now banding together to file for a compensation. Considering the significance and how lawsuits like this went in the past, experts expect a significant compensation!
We believe everyone who used Zantac and has suffered from cancer is entitled to a significant compensation and urge everyone to file a claim!
These are the most – but not limited to – types of cancer Zantac has caused:
- Prostate Cancer
- Breast Cancer
- Bladder Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Stomach Cancer
- Esophageal Cancer
- And many more
