Important Update on Your Benefits During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Scott's View

I wanted to reach out to you personally because local, national, and world events are moving quickly. Many of our neighbors are struggling to protect their homes, their finances, and their futures. Life is tough and is about to become tougher for many who will lose their jobs, who must close their businesses or are getting sick.

 We hope you're staying safe and healthy and all is going as well as can be expected in your everyday life. Fortunately, Veterans Advantage is well-positioned as we operate as a 100% remote team. We’re grateful that our operations remain strong, and our teammates healthy.

Amid this uncertainty, our Veterans Advantage team is working hard to make some ket VetRewards offers fully available that are relevant to saving on shopping essentials and help you meet some of these challenges. To get these exclusive offers more easily into your hands during this time, we’ve slashed the price on a VetRewards subscription by 50%

Helping Your Urgent Needs 

With VetRewards, you have subscribed to several timely benefits:

  • Household essentials: Save on key essentials such as personal hygiene items, toiletries, household cleaning supplies with trusted brands such as CVS, & 7-Eleven.

    Our partners are open for business and you can shop from home! CVS and 7-Eleven, in particular, have announced a combined 70,000 jobs they need to fill in order to support product inventory and delivery needs as customers shop to remain sustainable. 

  • Update your electronics with a new laptop or desktop, and your mobile device so you can do your best remote work or remote schooling: get the deepest offers from SamsungDellAppleLenovoVerizon and AT&T

  • In-home dining options to order in: Shop with Stock Yards for prepared meals, steaks, poultry & desserts; SeaBear Smokehouse for wild North Pacific salmon and seafood; Harry & David for fruit baskets and care packages from the 1800Flowers family of brands. These partners are currently not experiencing inventory shortages and shipping delays that you may have with your local market. 

  • Get assistance with your finances with free personal financial planning (a $500 value) included with your VetRewards subscription. Even with the market in turmoil, it’s never too late to start tackling your finances and putting together a long term strategy for a successful financial future. 

  • Include your family: If you are already a member, you can also add your household family members at 50% off for VetRewards savings and full benefits coverage.

Our partners are ready to serve your household essential needs, and most offer free shipping perks for "contactless delivery" -- shipped directly to your doorstep.

And all of this is available to you immediately through VetRewards today at 50% off.

 Honoring Your Service for The Long Haul 

Let's not forget we have direct and exclusive partnerships with 10 of the largest airlines in the world, who offer you ticket discounts on already deeply reduced fares. And we hope one day soon you'll be able to fly with peace of mind, and hopefully in time for summer travel. Once we get through this, you'll want to take a vacation and relax!

 As a reminder, all the airlines have created new cancellation policies and change waivers so you can book in advance with confidence. More on that in my letter to you last week. 

One Final Note 

Finally, I hope this is the beginning of a national dialogue during this period of great change in our nation. As we learned from 9/11, once our nation survives a great calamity, it creates new innovations and opportunities to improve life for all of us. And, like we did then, we are determined to be part of that change in the post-COVID-19 era with continued robust VetRewards Exclusives to honor those who serve and their families. 

I will keep you updated with regular communications, and our live, U.S.-based VIP Member Support team members, many of whom are vets or veteran family themselves, are here to help with extended hours Monday through Friday 9 am.-9 pm. ET at 1-866-VET-ASSIST or 1-866-866-838-2774.

 

Respectfully,

Scott Higgins Military & Veterans Life Scott's View: Honoring Our Sacred Anniversaries and the Legacy of Service As the days of August shorten and we look toward September, my thoughts always turn to reflection, history, and gratitude. This season is a deeply meaningful time for our country — a period marked by milestones that defined our nation's birth, secured global peace, and tested our national resolve in the modern era. Today, I want to step away from our regular platform updates to focus entirely on these critical anniversaries, honoring the generations of patriots who have kept us free.
