The WeSalute+ ID Card: Your Secure Military ID for Military Discounts and Other Benefits Nationwide
At WeSalute, our first priority is to protect our members’ privacy.
Did you know that U.S. active duty members and military veterans report ID theft at twice the rate of the general public? Military and veterans are a population particularly vulnerable to fraudsters.
Having your identity stolen can prove to be very costly, yet very lucrative for the fraudsters. It takes only a second for a fraudster to take a mobile phone shot or scan of your sensitive military credential and put your personal information at risk of being shared or sold to third-parties or, even worse, having your identity stolen.
According to the most recent data from the Federal Trade Commission, veterans reported $350 million in total fraud losses in 2023, up nearly $60 million from the previous year’s $292 million. Military and veteran consumers filed over 93,000 fraud complaints, including 42,766 imposter scams.
With WeSalute, you can now proudly and safely show you served with the WeSalute+ ID Card as your secure military ID when redeeming military discounts, offers, and other benefits both locally and nationwide.
Most importantly, with the WeSalute+ ID Card as your secure military ID, there is no need to share or expose your sensitive personal information (PII) on your military credentials, such as a DD214, to simply get a military discount.
How do I get my secure WeSalute+ ID Card?
When you signup for your WeSalute+ ID Card (formerly Veterans Advantage's VetRewards Card) your military status will be verified by WeSalute using our secure privacy-enhanced proprietary technology with permissions granted to access authoritative government sources. Once your military status is verified and confirmed, you'll receive your new WeSalute+Card as your secure military ID.
Your WeSalute+ ID Card is personalized with only your full name and military branch of service so you can show it and safely be identified as having served.
Family members of the current or former serviceperson are also eligible for the WeSalute+ ID Card, personalized with their own name and family members' branch of service.
Here's what one recent WeSalute+ ID Card member had to say:
"My wife and two adult daughters have used our WeSalute+ ID Cards at numerous local companies and saved thousands of dollars.”
