Here at Veterans Advantage, I’ve always been proud of the Everyday Savings programs from our top corporate partners, and thanks to the support of Dunkin’ Donuts and Dell, today I have news from two member favorites who have chosen to extend their special enhanced benefit sales.

First, an update: Our Dunkin’ Donuts special 20% online discount has been extended through February 28, 2010. Extending the window here has now ensured you have a significant money-saving option for Valentine’s Day gift giving, and it is a terrific way to kick off our partnership.

Dell, meanwhile, has extended availability for an additional 5% discount in our 10-30% Everyday Savings online storefront. That offer is now good through 1/29/2009, and available to Veterans Advantage members in Members Only.

In this era of information overload, you don’t deserve needing to scramble all over the Internet to find a great price, especially one that honors you for your service. Through standard everyday discounts, which we actively make available to our members each day, Veterans Advantage members get assurance there’s always something available with membership.

And thanks to the likes of Dunkin Donuts and Dell, you are getting extra savings on top of what you already get.

What could be better than that?

We are happy to have Dell going the extra mile for our members this week. Now through January 22, 2010, Veterans Advantage members can access an extra 5% discount on top of the discounts already available in our special online Dell storefront.

We sent an email communication to our members over the weekend to make sure they are aware these extra Veterans Advantage benefits are available for access. If you are one of them, log in to Members Only today for the special instructions.

If you are interested and not yet a member, try Veterans Advantage for 30 days today.

We’re glad to announce another new benefit: A special partnership with studentaid.com, a leader in the college planning industry. Through a special link and dedicated toll-free number, Veterans Advantage members are able to get 10% off its College Cost & Planning Report.

This custom 50+ page report is personalized for members identifying their specific financial situation and the colleges the students are considering. Up to 10 colleges are profiled in this report, customized for each applicant. I’ve visited with a company executive who showed me samples of what you get, and I must say it’s quite impressive, and a must for planning my own kids’ future educational needs.

And it comes at a special savings, as a thank you for your service.

Since we’re on the first page of the 2010 calendar, I wanted to highlight a few of the Veterans Advantage benefits that help you with everyday savings essentials, and pay for your membership.

For instance, we have a great discount on gym memberships, a perfect fit for New Year’s Resolutions. With our recent additions of New York Sports Clubs and 24-Hour Fitness, our discount gym provider is offering a full set of discount options with top clubs across the country. Sample pricing on New York Sports shows you save nearly $150 annually on a gym membership in the New York City area – more than twice in savings what you pay for your Veterans Advantage membership.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our online benefit with Dunkin’ Donuts, with a special 20% discount throughout the month of January. Our VP of Marketing just loaded up on a month’s supply – list price of $39.99 for five one-pound bags – for his home and saved $8. If he purchased once a month (some months will provide a 10% discount), he would save $60 over a year, paying for his VA membership. So, his VA membership is free without any change in daily coffee habit because he is a Dunkin’ Donuts customer and Veterans Advantage member.

Speaking of other annual savings, I noticed a great discount for Peter Eldredge, an Advisory Board member and proud daddy to a 90-pound golden retriever. He’s loading up on a 12-month’s supply of flea and tick medication, combining our 15% discount with the company’s generally advertised discount, netting a savings of 28%. Those savings amount to $57.17 – again nearly covering the annual fee.

I’m pleased to announce our newest benefit partner: Dunkin’ Donuts. Through an exclusive relationship with a very patriotic U.S. company, Veterans Advantage members can save online throughout the year on their purchases at DunkinDonuts.com. We’re kicking off with a special 20% online discount throughout the month of January, and you can expect more from our two companies beyond that as well.

For years, the staff here at Veterans Advantage has made Dunkin’ Donuts a necessary start to their day, and now we’re glad to offer a special opportunity for our members to do the same…and with a special savings!
