Amtrak

Your Veterans Advantage benefits package just got bigger!

As of Jan.15, your Amtrak 15% discount now includes same day travel and is extended to family members with a VetRewards Card. With ski season underway, you can get away for a long weekend with your family and save on everyone's travel. Business travelers also have a reason to pick up and grab a train for that next meeting, without the need to reserve 3 days in advance to get the discount, as was previously the case.

If you prefer to stay home and not brave the cold, we have big news: Get Verizon Fios for your home, Internet, TV and phone needs with savings of up to $120 a year! The news today helps us round out a comprehensive package of services with the telecommunications giant. For nearly three-and-a-half years, VetRewards Card holders like you have been getting 15% OFF wireless plans and 25% OFF accessories. With today's announcement, we now have you covered at home - with big savings.

Discounts & Benefits WeSalute Review: Your 2025 Holiday Travel Guide on How to Save More and Stress Less on Your Getaway The holiday season is officially in full swing. While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.

Discounts & Benefits Connecting When It Matters Most: Your Two Weeks to Make Memories As the calendar flips closer to the end of the year, we enter what I always consider the most critical two weeks for connection. This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
