Canadian Military & Veteran Discount Guide: The Ultimate List

The Dealhack Canadian Military and Veteran Discounts List is the result of our quarterly survey of brands that offer discounts to all Canadian Armed Forces members. Every three months, our team independently verifies every discount on this list. Regular changes are also made when we come across a new brand and add it to the list or when expired discounts need to be removed.

The list currently has over 100 brands and is divided into 10 categories for convenience. You can save or print the list to use as a handy reference.

There may also be other stores or businesses that offer military and veteran discounts but choose not to post them online. Ask around a store if they offer military discounts, and be ready to provide a valid CFOne Card, CF ID Card, or Veteran's Service Card.

If you do not have a CFOne card, click here for a detailed list of supporting documents you can use to prove your connection with the Canadian military services.
