It’s all yours, a click away, as part of your Veterans Advantage membership.

Apple recently opened an exciting new store on the main street of our hometown. Lin needed a new computer, so after showing her Veterans Advantage card, saved $160 on a new MacBook Pro! Thank you, Apple!

After meeting with executives of Dollar Rent a Car and Thrifty Car Rental at my offices late last month, two great guys, they agreed to enhance their partnership with us.

In addition to our discount relationship, each program now includes downloadable coupons (limit one per rental) for a free upgrade day and free GPS system day. This already is combined with the waivers on additional drivers and underage drivers included with our offer for Dollar, further bolstering the unique quality of the car rental benefit for Veterans Advantage with a range of discounted travel options.

As a further demonstration of our exclusive partnership, Veterans Advantage is the only outside company listed in the “Government Programs” area of both dollar.com and thrifty.com:

Dollar.com: Here.

Thrifty.com: Here.

Thank you Dollar/Thrifty!

Just sign up for the Veterans Advantage card today.

On that subject, its also worth a reminder that Veterans Advantage members also qualify for special discounts on the Northeast Shuttle (Washington, DC – New York – Boston) run by Delta Airlines and U.S. Airways.

Finally, let’s not forget one of our best discount partners — Continental Airlines — has a major hub in the New York City area. Veterans Advantage members can get 5% discounts every time they book at continental.com, while also accumulating their One Pass frequent flier mileage points, too.
