Scott's View: Back to School Savings with Veterans Advantage

It's August, and our Veteran and Military family members are starting to think about back to school shopping. Check out our ideas for your best back to school savings in today's newsletter, which highlight our major discounts from Apple, Greyhound, Verizon Wireless and CVS/pharmacy.

Incidentally, we got word from fellow members that CVS recently put out a mailing thanking its top 1% savers. Many Veterans Advantage members were happy to report that they got this great news as our Veterans Advantage 20% OFF CVS discount has helped drive a lot of those savings.

CVS offers such a wide array of products in its stores which qualify for Veterans Advantage discounts. For instance, have you ever shopped CVS for printing supplies? You should! Lin, who also received the "Top 1% Savers" mailing, did a product comparison on print cartridges with a recent combinable sale with our CVS discount and found it beat Amazon.com.

Speaking of families, Lux Gurusamy, an Army Veteran of Kosovo, Iraq & Afghanistan – just wrote us: "I have a four year old daughter so the shopping for baby items and other things at CVS made a huge difference when I used both CVS discount and the Veterans Advantage discount. All in all, I am extremely happy that I use Veterans Advantage." Lux is also pocketing a lot of his savings to enjoy other Veterans Advantage benefits, most recently theme park discounts at Six Flags.

holiday travel guide 2025 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.
Scott Higgins 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.
