I've seen lots of pages about student discount and people stating military don't get anything.... so I thought I'd put a list together of some of the best Military Discounts you can get.

This is a fantastic idea, but there are many more to add to the list. The sheer number of places which offer discount are only limited by the effort of local military personnel asking the cheeky question.
Odiham for example has many restaurants/pubs offering significant discount ranging from 10-25%.
Derby Inn (25% off food), Waterwitch (25% off food and inhouse ale), Grapevine (various, just give them a call), Bell & Dragon (10% off food and drink).
Similarly, many businesses not listed on the Defence Discount Website or Reward For Forces give discount. Be aware, Reward For Forces charges businesses for advertising, whereas Defence Discount Service does not.
I've just negotiated a deal with Wickes (which we used to have). I will list the trade account number on here shortly.
In essence, many places will offer discount. You just have to have the courage to ask the question.
Everywhere gives student discount.
Perhaps it is time we re-addressed that balance by working together to increase the number of places/businesses offering a significant discount to the military. The USA has this right and it's about time our country supported us in the same way.

Do you need to proof anything to get a Defence Service Discount Card?

Yes I believe so. Can't remember if I had to provide it but I'm pretty sure you do as if I think I remember sending a photo of it off.

I believe they need a copy of your discharge papers if you are a Veteran.
Most probably. Not all these discounts you need the card but a form of military ID will do just like student discount.

I am a member of DDS and you are required to send in a picture of yor MOD90 part of the sign up process. This can be scanned or emailed.

I know Nandos don't accept the discount card. They insist on a current id. I have an Emergency Services card and they don't accept that either. Only the current ID qualifies. Probably because they want to see a photo.

I think it's 20% off contracts with a phone and that's for family members as well.

Some McDonalds give a free McFlurry when you buy a meal. But some only support students.

It's not official though, they just put it through the student option which is why only selected ones do it.

Thank you. I'm actually really surprised at how many cold votes this is getting but put the word 'student' instead of military and it gets 5k heat.
