Defence discount service
The Defence Discount Service is available for Serving and Reserve Armed Forces, spouses/partners (of serving personnel), Veterans, MOD Civil Servants, War/Service Widow(er)s, bereaved family members, Cadet Forces (16+) and NATO personnel serving in the UK.
The Discount Service is seen as a valuable part of the nation's recognition and appreciation for the Armed Forces Community, and is also an important element in developing the local Armed Forces Community Covenant and the Armed Forces Covenant.
Defence Privilege Card
The Defence Privilege Card is a card that members of the armed forces community can take into participating shops, restaurants and venues and receive a discount. It can also be used when purchasing online.
The card is valid for 5 years and costs £4.99. New companies are added daily to the service.
