Why do I pay for Veterans Advantage?

** As a member of Veterans Advantage, you’ll get the greater respect, recognition and rewards that you deserve for you and your family's service to the country. When you subscribe to VetRewards, you are eligible for VetRewards Exclusive savings and benefits that are not available to the general public. Enroll in a Month-to-Month or one-year plan, or add an additional 24 months or 48 months to your subscription for the lowest cost plans.

Here are some of the behind-the-scenes details and features you are paying for with your member plan:

• We create new partner benefits that are exclusive to our members only, and not received by the general public. We don't get a markup or a cut of a sale or paid by our partners to advertise.
• We negotiate for added extra benefits such as no blackout dates and combinability with your loyalty program points.
• We take veterans' privacy seriously. We have built-in privacy protection as a core feature; we do not require your sensitive information to Join Us, and use patent-pending technology to power your VetRewards Card for easy benefit redemption online, by toll-free phone and at store locations. If by chance your card is lost or stolen card, there is nothing on it that can be used to compromise your identity. We simply provide you a replacement card.
• We will never sell member's data in order to make our member services 'free'. We are not government funded and do not receive grants or other outside sources of funding, so we charge a very low member plan fee and give you the benefit of half off your primary plan for your immediate family coverage.

Please note: You may encounter other so-called "free" military discount programs online have hidden dangers that can prove to be very costly. These operations will collect your sensitive personal information to verify your military status and require you to scan or upload your government military ID (against the law) or DD-214 that contain highly sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security Number. And, never give your last 4 digits of your SSN.This data can be easily mishandled, lost or stolen by a poorly-trained or unsupervised employee, which puts you at higher risk for identity theft, among other security risks.
