I saw that Samsung offered a significant military discount and decided to sign up for their military store. They used ID.me to verify my veteran status. It was super simple, quick and secure. I ended up saving over $2500 dollars for my appliance purchases. And now I have access to other retailers that also offer military discounts. I would definitely get on board with this verification process.

I found that Apple offered discounts to military and veterans. Verification of status is by Id.me. Verification probably took no more than a minute or two of answering questions to get the process complete, then they transferred me to the discounted Apple site.

Do not fear ID.me. It was easy to use, and I was able get what I needed within one hour. I suspect that if I tried to obtain documents the "old fashioned" way, it would have taken two weeks. If you are the type that wants "instant gratification", please do not hesitate in using ID.me.

Great customer service. Enjoyed the experience. It was quick and to the point. Glad this avenue was available. I have a favorite big box store and at times I will not visit until it is absolutely necessary. Long checkout lines or not enough cashiers for the volume of customers at certain times of the day. This experience was exceptional.

I was really amazed that this process was so simple. I started trying to verify my military affiliation last year, but had computer issues going on and just did not get around to it. If I had only known how simple this was, I would have done it a long time ago.
