Sheraton Hotels
by: Anonymous

I do not know if all Sheraton Hotels offer a military discount, but the two I have stayed in do, Austin, TX and Birmingham, AL.

We found this note on the Starwood Hotels web site:

"We understand the needs of the individual government and military traveler. We know you are looking for government rates, city information, restaurant options and most importantly, a great hotel. We are here to provide all of the above, plus a per diem rate + complimentary breakfast when you book by December 31, 2009!"

As a general rule, hotels that offer military discounts do so only until the number of rooms set aside for military discounts has been reserved, or until the hotel reaches a certain percentage of occupancy.

It is a good idea to ask if they offer a military discount, but don't forget to ask if there's another rate that's lower. Sometimes there is.

Michael's Does NOT Offer a Military Discount
by: Sarah

I work at Michael's and the store does not offer a military discount. You can contact corporate at 1-800-Michaels.

Unless your list is made up, I don't know where you got your information.

Sarah,

No, our list is not "made up." It comes from a combination of sources, including information submitted by readers like you.

Unfortunately, we don't have a research staff to verify every one. So if someone tells us they've gotten a military discount at X store, it goes on the list.

Perhaps you could suggest to corporate that offering a military discount would be a great way to build good will with and say thank you to thousands of military wives who shop at Michael's.

Thanks for letting us know this is inaccurate. We'll stop giving Michael's undeserved free advertising.

- - - - - - - -

Ladies,

Maybe we should all call Michael's (1-800-MICHAELS) to ask if they would offer a military discount.

If not, perhaps we should shop elsewhere, like Hobby Lobby or JoAnn.

Update:

I recently had a very annoying experience in my local Michael's. I had a coupon for 50% off one regular-priced item.

Michael's computer systems used to be set to automatically apply the coupon to the most expensive regular-price item. That was the case in March 2010.

This shopping trip was in April 2010, and I went to Michael's ONLY because I had a 50% off coupon. Because it was closing time, and there was a rush at the register, I didn't notice until I got home and looked at the receipt that instead of taking the deduction from the highest-priced item (which was only $5.98), the deduction had been taken on an item that was $1.79. So on an order that totaled a little over $100 (I had LOTS of low-priced items), they gave me a whopping 90-cent discount.

Applying the 50%-off coupon to my most expensive item ($5.98) would have resulted in a discount of only $2.99! So by being really cheap and "cheating" me out of the additional $2.09 discount, Michael's just lost a good customer. I don't think it would bankrupt the chain to have given me the additional $2 discount! I have collected enough scrapbooking materials to open my own store, and most of them were bought at Michael's.

A Hobby Lobby just opened near my house, and the week before this unpleasant experience at Michael's, Hobby Lobby had MOST of its scrapbooking supplies at 40% off, no coupon required. Another week, Hobby Lobby had all its Circut products at 30% off.

So my recommendation is that if there is a Hobby Lobby store near you, watch their local ads (you can sign up at hobbylobby.com to receive them via e-mail), and time your purchases to take advantage of their sales. You can save a bundle.

Michael's discount on one regular-priced item, and only if you have the coupon, just isn't worth it any more.

I'm now a happy Hobby Lobby shopper.

Chipotle =(
by: Anonymous

Chipotle here in Fredericksburg, VA, does not offer a military discount. They say that it is at the managers discretion to offer, and the managers here do not. =( Hopefully yours does.

I was very sad because my hubs and I love to go here for a quick lunch =)

Home Improvements

Lowe's and Home Depot in the Pittsburgh area both offer 10% military discount but it is NOT advertised and you must ask for it and show your ID card. We just used both in Feb. 2010.

Both Lowe's and Home Depot stores now offer the military discount year-round.

Dick's Sporting Goods
by: Rick Moore

I e-mailed Dicks regarding their name on this list of stores offering military discounts and they responded that they DO NOT offer this, they do however offer a Team Packet. What it is and what it consists of I don't know but they said to ask for it at the store, which I intend to do soon as I get a chance to go by there.

Rick,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know. Would you please copy and paste the e-mail you received into our contact form, so we can contact the person who responded to you. We'll ask them about the Team Packet you mentioned. Until we clarify that, we'll leave them on the list for now.

Watch for an update here.

T-mobile and Verizon
by: Angela

I am pretty sure every phone company offers a military discount. But I used to work for T-mobile and it is a waived activation fee and 15% off of your monthly bill. You just need to call them if you don't already have service and they can get you set up. If you already have service, you still need to call to get the website (it is slipping my mind ATM).

Verizon also offers 10% off of your bill. They just had to get an e-mail address that was with the army and then we registered through that e-mail and get 10% off every month.

A few to add
by: Anonymous

I live in Oceanside, CA so I don't know if this information will apply to other areas.

Walgreens offers 10% on the 1st and 15th of every month.

Boney's (grocery/produce) store offers discount every Thurs.

Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe clothing stores offer 10% off all regular priced items.

Enjoy!
