Hotels

Hotels are one of the places where you will get the most savings when planning a vacation.  The vast majority of hotels offer at least 10% military discount, some as much as 30%.  There are a few notable standouts in this category, especially those that offer “per diem” rates for government employees and military.  Per diem rates are rarely available for the most popular locations (Las Vegas strip, close to major attractions or downtown), but if you are willing to stay a bit further out, you can save some good money!

 

HILTON

Hilton Hotels

Many Hilton locations offer a military and veteran discount active duty, VETERANS, retired nmilitary, and government employees the per diem rate…This can often be as much as 50% off the advertised room rates.  The one caveat here is that they do not usually offer these rates in the city centers or close to major tourist attractions.  You are not likely to find the per diem rates at the Hiltons right next to Disney World or Universal Studios, or if you are travelling to San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York, you will not find the per diem rates offered at the downtown hotels…but if you are willing to stay a few minutes outside the city, you can save big.  See our listing page for a link to Hilton’s military discount information page.

MARRIOTT

Like Hilton, many Marriott locations also offer per diem rates for active military and government employees…But again, you will generally not get this rate at downtown hotels, or those close to major tourist attractions.  See out Marriott listing for a link to Marriott’s military discount information page.  https://www.justformilitary.com/marriott

TOWNPLACE SUITES

TownePlace Suites is part of the Marriott family and also offers the per diem rate.  What wets them apart, is that many of their rooms come with kitchens, so you can save money by not dining out for every meal.

Airlines

The reality here is that most airlines do offer military discounts on fares, however they do not advertise them, and you cannot get them on the web…You will have to call and talk to a customer service rep.  From what we have found, most of the military discounts can be quite small, often around 5%, but some airlines offer great savings in other ways (mainly reduced or free check baggage fees).

We have found a number of third-party sites that claim to search military discount fares, but the result is most often the same or sometimes a little more expensive that the fare aggregators (Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz, etc…).

American Airlines

American Airlines does offer some unspecified discount on some routes, you have to call their reservations number.  See our listing for that number, and a link to their website.  https://www.justformilitary.com/american-airlines

AA Cargo does offer members of the military and their dependents a 50% military discount on shipping pets.
