I've been using ID.me for a couple of years now and it makes everything faster, easier, and the end result simpler than any other military or service related discount system I've ever seen. As long as the retailer subscribes to ID.me, all you have to do is click the button and let the system do a quick check and boom, discount applied.
If you're unsure if any of the online retailers that use ID.me to provide discounts are something you might use, go check their site and see what they offer. Bose sound equipment, Moosejaw outdoor retailers, Benchmade Knives, and many others are included - I just used ID.me to get a 50 percent discount on my knives at Spiderco. FIFTY PERCENT OFF just because they work with ID.me.
You can't go wrong. Sign up, use it, and save. The process takes a couple of minutes and the effort will benefit you for years to come.
