New Veterans Advantage Web Site Launch

admin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:07:41 +0000

Welcome to our new redesigned Veterans Advantage Web site! I hope you like it. It was literally years in the making — borne of the years our Veterans Advantage team has been listening to members tell us what benefits they want and how they prefer to access them. Each day, we respond to their needs through our ever expanding benefits package, and today we are proud to deliver a Web site upgrade, too.

Here’s a couple of tips I think will help you get started:

If you are exploring our program for the first time: Click any of the blue links across the top for background on our program. We’ve worked to enhance this area to underscore the importance of our mission — ranging from unique money-saving benefits across a range of key everyday categories with your Veterans Advantage Card, to the latest news and resources to keep you informed about your ongoing benefits from the government and the private sector. And finally, through our charitable activities, we want you to know that you are truly part of something special.

If you are not a member yet, I encourage you to sign up today and get started.

If you are already a member: Click on “Members Only” in the upper right hand corner of each page to access your benefits to enter with your Veterans Advantage Member ID and password. You’ll find direct benefit access just one or two clicks away from anywhere on our Web site.

Our valuable member services support continues to be online: visit the personalized “Your Account” area and “Contact Us” for online support or see our Help section. And finally, your Veterans Advantage Membership qualifies you for our free weekly member e-newsletter that updates you on the latest inclusions in your benefits package and is posted on our new site under “Resources.”

All of us here at Veterans Advantage hope you like this upgrade to our Web site. Tell us what you think!

Let’s face it, in this economy, Americans could use all the help we can get. Through a special expansion of benefits from long-time partner John Hancock, Veterans Advantage members now qualify for a complimentary financial analysis report to get you on a firmer financial footing for the future.

Members get to call a special toll-free number only for Veterans Advantage to assess their situation personally with a John Hancock Financial Network advisor, and receive a customized report. This special service is valued to be at least $500 for the general public, but comes at no extra charge for all active members of Veterans Advantage.

Things are heating up in the political primaries. With this week’s action now complete, Republican frontrunner John McCain – already picked by Veterans Advantage members over a month ago – is starting to speak about being his party’s nominee for president. One question for the rest of the season is who he will name as his running mate. Be sure to complete the poll question to let us know your choice.

Speaking of seasons — This season also marks two key financial planning events for millions of Americans nationwide:

* As April 15 is less than eight weeks away, you should get your tax return together and avoid the last-second procrastinator’s crush, saving $30 at Jackson Hewitt Tax Preparation locations nationwide.
* College hopefuls are also in peak season, too, picking their next move. For loan hunters, now’s the time to start shopping, too. Thanks to our partnership with Sallie Mae, Veterans Advantage members and their families can get access to a host of federal and private loans and save money on their fees. Check it out today.
