Sears Veterans Day 40% off

[P51Boilermaker]

If you're a Veteran Sears has a 40% off regular priced items and 10% off sale items for Veterans Day. They require proof of course but its a good deal if you're looking for something.

Their ad says "must present military ID" so must not be for actual "veterans" but for active duty and active reservists. My military ID expired 20 years ago!

 

[P51Boilermaker]

Mine expired a few years ago but they still accept it! They give 20% off during the rest of the year if you show your military ID. Memorial day is also the 40% off deal

 

[Bendibal]

Many places accept your DD214 for many of these offers. As with any deal I am sure it depends on who you have working at the store.

What are good buys at sears these days? Since craftsman is outsourced now

VA ID cards also count.

VA ID cards also count.

Do they now? Hmmmm......

I wonder if you can order stuff through the store at a discount?

I've used my DD214 before at Sears with no issue. Ohio BMV in the last few years started asking Vets if they wanted an "Armed Forces" emblem on your DL.


Ohio residents, it'll look like this. . .

Pennsylvania puts a small flag on the DL for veterans. Lowes does NOT accept it or a DD214 for any discount in case you are wondering.

There is a truck stop restaurant nearby that gives 10% off any veteran's meal 24/7/365, and the food is good.

Does anyone have a source that talks about the discount? I'm not seeing it in the ad?

 

[W_E_S]

I am a disabled Vet but have no current ID. More times than not the DD214 doesn't work. I get tired of trying.

Same here. Our local store has 10% off for Veterans. Need a VA ID Card or Retired/Active ID Card. They know nothing of a 40% off deal.

 

[Jarhead0408]

The only thing I can find online is an old link for Memorial Day.

Turns out it was a complete bait & switch. Sears reduced everything by like $5 bucks so technically it was on sale at that point. By doing that they were able to only discount it by 10%. The stuff that was not reduced by the $5 on sale price was the **** that no one wanted. That stuff they were happy to reduce to 40% off in order to clear old inventory.

I'm wondering if that's what is going to happen here. I guess we'll see. FWIW, I've asked the Sears at the mall if they offer a military discount. I've always been told no?

So, next time you are @ the VA Hospital go to "vetting" and get your ID--you'll receive it within 5-7 days. Unlike the DD214, it has your picture on it and that way any store knows it's you by likeness; not just a form with typewritten entries. If the VA Hospital is too "far", call and make an appointment with their travel service and they will come and get you, take you to the Hospital and even return you home.

I like the Civilian CAC card approach. Just ask about a "government or military discount".

Hell, most of the time if you get a young cashier, they don't even know what a civilian is.

I like the Civilian CAC card approach. Just put your thumb over the word "civilian" and ask about a "government or military discount".

There better be a DD214 to back that bull up, impersonating a veteran for a discount IS another form of stolen valor.

lol that's why i say "government or military discount". don't mean to offend any vets

 

[Jarhead0408]

The thumb approach is where it seems you're trying to get one over on them.

sorry, edited.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Screw 'em. Still can't find a direct link that takes me to the info.

I don't know why I keep getting sucked back into the Craftsman world. Let 'em die on the vine.

No offense to the OP or anyone else I this thread. I just hate it when companies pull this **** and try to capitalize of something they really couldn't give a **** about. They don't care about the Vets, they just care about the money.

Try this:

1. Click here
2. A full-line Sears store needs to be selected. If it's not, click on Change store and choose one. (not smaller stores like Sears Hometown or Sears Appliance)
3. Click on View the Weekly Ad
4. "11/5 Ad Valid Nov 05 - Nov 14, 2015" should be available, so click on the thumbnail.
5. For me, the red banner explaining the military discount is on page 11. (see attached screenshot)

EDIT: GJ didn't like my screenshot and shrunk it.

I've included a screenshot of the info. The link is below and the 40% off is on their home page, just press the "see details" tab under the 40% 10% military double discount.

I saved 10% on some batteries with my military ID.

Thanks man. Unfortunately, it doesn't list it on my local ad (full line store). I appreciate your help though.

I appreciate the link man. I'll have to call a few stores and see if they are participating. Maybe I'm just crazy, but wouldn't it be easy for them to just list which stores were participating?

Folks, to lay your concerns to rest. You didn't miss a thing. Our local Sears did in fact have 40% off all tools, and an additional 10% off of the sale items.

Imagin my surprise when just about every tool in the store was marked down as a sale. Red tags everywhere. Very, very few items actually qualified for the 40% off. The things that qualified were the odd ball tools and large sockets. Nice gesture, but was a bust IMO. I left without spending a dime.
