You May Be Paying More Than You Have To
Veterans and seniors qualify for discounts at many restaurants, stores and services, but those savings are easy to miss.
The Discount Doesn't Help If You Forget to Ask
Many businesses offer discounts to veterans, military members and seniors. The problem is that discounts are not always advertised, employees may not mention them, and policies can vary from one location to another.
Senior Vet Discounts was created around a simple idea: make it easier to remember the discounts you may qualify for before you pay.
Our goal is not to promise that a business will provide a discount. Our goal is to help you discover potential savings, know when to check, and make asking about a discount part of your normal shopping routine.

Why Are So Many Discounts Missed?
They're Not Advertised
A business may offer a discount without prominently displaying it at the door, menu or register.
Employees May Not Mention Them
The cashier or server may not know that you qualify unless you bring up the discount before paying.
Policies Can Be Local
Franchise locations and independently operated businesses may have different discount policies.
Senior Vet Discounts App
We're developing a simple mobile tool designed to help Veterans and Seniors find nearby businesses, identify potential discounts, and have a convenient discount reminder ready before paying.
The app will make it easier to use Senior Vet Discounts while you're actually shopping, dining or traveling.

THE COMPANION BOOK
Ask Before You Pay
The Veteran & Senior Guide to Finding Discounts, Asking the Right Question, and Keeping More of Your Money
How much money are you leaving on the counter simply because you didn't know a discount existed?
Vietnam Veteran Bruce Goldwell discovered the answer firsthand. While creating Senior Vet Discounts, he learned that his own cell phone provider offered a Veteran discount he wasn't receiving. After applying, his bill dropped $26 a month — almost $300 a year.
Ask Before You Pay teaches one simple money-saving habit: before you pay, renew, book or buy, check whether a Veteran or Senior savings opportunity may be available.
Take the $300 Challenge
Can you find $300 in savings over the next 12 months? Check your phone service, restaurants, stores, attractions, travel and other everyday expenses.
Then use Senior Vet Discounts to help you Find. Show. Save.
The book teaches the habit.
Senior Vet Discounts helps you put it into action.
