WeSalute Honors Our Military & Veterans with 5% OFF United Airlines

United has made an outstanding commitment to recognizing and rewarding those who serve our country. As a longstanding proud supporter of WeSalute since 2004 (in our early Veterans Advantage years), United offers an exclusive WeSalute+ military discount for WeSalute Members.

WeSalute is a member-supported organization dedicated to giving our U.S. active duty military, veterans and their families A Real Thank You with exclusive military savings and exceptional experiences created by WeSalute to enhance their lifestyles.

United WeSalute+ discounts are exclusively for WeSalute verified military members who carry the WeSalute+ ID Card in support of our military advocacy and our mission to salute those who serve everyday with greater recognition, respect and rewards for service to our country.

With their secure military ID, the WeSalute+ ID Card, members are eligible for United's 5% OFF WeSalute+ discount as an active duty military servicemember and their dependents, military retiree, military veteran or as an immediate family member of the serviceperson.

United flights leaving from the U.S.and Canada to destinations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe, and United’s regional services with United Express®-operated flights are all eligible for the 5% OFF United WeSalute+ discount.

United WeSalute+ discounts are redeemed with your individually- unique, personal WeSalute+ ID Card Travel Code in United.com reservations or the United app and can be applied to Economy, Economy Plus, United Premium Plus, United Business and United First Class fares and are available for booking everyday, without blackout dates. As additional perks with your WeSalute+ ID Card you may redeem an unlimited number of United WeSalute+ discounted tickets year round, and apply your military savings to up to 8 travelers on your same itinerary.

Plus, for even greater benefits, your United WeSalute+ military discount is combinable with earning United miles. When you enroll in MileagePlus, United's free loyalty program, you will automatically earn MileagePlus points each time you travel with your WeSalute+ discount ticket savings.

United WeSalute+ discounts are also combinable with United’s active duty military benefits program for active duty personal travel. United offers active duty military travelers and their dependents up to 3 free checked bags, each weighing 70 lbs maximum, for personal travel plus the extra privileges of priority boarding, and United lounge access. Active duty military traveling on orders get a total of 5 free checked bags per traveler and can take advantage of United's military pet program (at select destinations). Active duty must show their government-issued military ID card and official military travel orders at check-in to redeem their United military benefits.

And, the WeSalute+ ID Card offers more than United ticket discounts. You also get exclusive military discounts from other leading travel providers with top airlines, luxury hotels and resorts, car rentals, cruises, low-cost medical travel insurance coverage, as well as prescription drug discounts, everyday shopping benefits, dining & entertainment savings, the latest tech deals, plus outstanding 5 star rated member support with dedicated WeSalute+ Benefit Specialists to assist you and your family with getting all the benefits you deserve.
