Does Amazon Have a Military Discount in 2025?
No, Amazon does not currently offer a year-round military discount. However, they have offered targeted discounts in the past. For example, in 2019 we saw them offer $40 off Prime membership for veterans and active military members. In 2023, Amazon offered a discount of at least 20% on select items around Veterans Day. (The discount was for the general public, regardless of military status.)
How Military Members Can Save at Amazon
Military members can use Prime membership for exclusive deals on Prime Day, and free 2-day shipping on most orders, which comes in handy around the holidays when you're located away from family. Also, military members can use Amazon to order necessities that aren't available locally or at military exchanges.
What Else to Know About Using Amazon as a Military Member
Most items can be shipped to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses, but there are some exceptions, including:
- Cell phones
- Computers
- Lithium batteries
- Furniture
- Outdoor living items
- Try Before You Buy items
Due to licensing agreements, Prime Video is generally only available in the U.S. and U.S. territories. Amazon is working with the U.S. Military and local Internet Service Providers to extend access to international bases and camps. If you want to help this process along, consider following the Amazon staff recommendation and reach out to the officer in charge of Internet communications at your base to take the necessary steps.
Want to support small businesses and your fellow military servicemembers? Amazon lists select items from military family-owned businesses to help finding these kinds of products easier.
Which Retailers Have Military Discounts?
Many retailers offer military discounts to active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, and their families on food, travel, and more. Some stores, like Best Buy, may or may not offer military discounts, depending on location and the discretion of individual store managers.
However, other retailers, such as Home Depot offers active-duty military and veterans 10% off with some exceptions, while Lowe's offers military members 10% off full-priced items. And lululemon offers 15% off qualifying purchases for active military members, as well as spouses and dependents from the same household. That includes We Made Too Much and lululemon Lab items in addition to regular-price items.
