Air Canada will give you a military discount or if the plane is not full a seat upgrade from economy to business and Car rental companies also offer discount not sure of the amounts but i know they do.

Probably the standard 10%.  May as well buy a lifetime membership to a hostel for $50, you still get the 10%.  ???
Who says it's the right thing to leave? Right to let them kill women for being raped? Right to allow girls to be baby producing facilities with no hope for education? Right to allow millions of children go unvaccinated against simple curable things like polio? There are good things we are doing, but we should just give up, because you think it is right we should come home... so we can come back and do it all over again in 20 years instead of staying now to fix the problem today, not later.

Some paintball grounds give 10 - 15 % off when your in the military, this also applies at some times to emergency services. There's one in the ottawa area that does this...

Paint ball grounds have emergency services?  Or did you mean if you have to call an ambulance after getting hurt while paint balling...... ;)

I think what was meant was that you get a 10-15% discount on the emergency services as well as the paintball game. You know, for when your paintball section attack goes horribly wrong.

NJ transit give's you 50% off if you show ID, doesn't matter what country your from. Chances are if your travelling down there you aren't going to care about the 50 cent to 5 dollar difference in fares, but remember that it IS American dollars and cents I'm talking about, not Canadian.

Most sports stores (running room, sport chek etc.) will give military discounts, however I've noticed that there are more discounts floating around the closer you are to a base.

Like sayyy Eden's in Edmonton for example where the cover is free.

Yes, and no. Yes it has your picture, and no, you get it about week 9 or so on your basic. Depends on how fast ident section is, and what your course staff is like. No idea what ResF is like.

Apparently Future Shop in Dartmouth no longer offers the discount. I walked in and was going to get around 200 bucks worth of stuff, was told they don't offer the discount anymore. I ended up leaving my stuff there and getting it at Best Buys. Screw them, they don't suport the CF, then they won't see my dollars.

Yes I am aware that Best Buys and Future Shop are owned by the same company. ;)

Canadian Military discounts on Nissan
« Reply #340 on: August 30, 2009, 10:39:17 »
For those interested in a new car, I see that Wallis Nissan is offering a military discount of $500.  I know that GM also offers this and (I think) Chrysler.  I also understand that Wallis's are looking at flat-rate shipping to anywhere in Canada.  I recall that Petawawa dealers used to gouge the troops pretty good in the 90s.  Not sure if that is still the case.  Nice to see businesses starting to support our troops.  Not sure if they have a website but you can get to them through Nissan.ca or 519 336 4060.

There is a thread pinned in Radio Chatter mentioning all the Military Discounts being offered.

Lasic MD took $200 off a $3000 total both eyes for me last month.  Not a lot, but all I did was mention I was in the CF as part of conversation...and they took off the money.  I was happy.

If you're looking for appliance parts, BBQ parts, and other goodies, Reliable Parts gives a 15% discount to CF members if you ask for it.  They have stores across Canada. 

I love shopping in that place as much as I enjoy strolling through Lowe's Home Improvement.   :)

Just found out the Mc Dicks at Anderton and Guthrie in Comox gives 25% off with ID.  I was so stunned I forgot to ask if it was nation-wide or store specific.

Not sure if this is the right place for this one.
I would like to thank the local Royal Canadian Legion for giving most pers on the Wing a $10.00 Tim's Card.
It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that we are quietly appreciated.
Thanks Legionaires.    :salute:
