Thats nice but unfortunately I served in the wrong country :)
But I was once in Hawaii and rented a Cessna and they even gave me the Veteran discount despite the fact that I served for Switzerland (and yes I told them).. |
Veteran Discount
''A shame it doesn?t apply in Canada.''
Well since ACS now have a store in Canada I don't see why they wouldn't apply the same discount to Canadians in all due respect..:cool: I will try to find out on my return from the land of the rising sun..:-) Bruno |
ACS MILITARY DISCOUNT
Update;
For Canadians Veterans and active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, I just send an e-mail to AC Spruce regarding their Military Discounts so I should get a reply fairly soon.. The girl I talked to said she couldn't think of a reason why we couldn't be includee.. Stand By for new Atis Message.. Bruno |
" To qualify for the military discount, the customer must be active or retired from...."
I understand what ACS means, but taking the above literally, I, like scores of other Vets do not qualify. I did 10 years in the USAF and was discharged honorably, but I did not "retire". Many merchants that offer military discounts seem to think that all vets have an ID card once discharged - Those who separated before retirement typically don't. |
separated USN, sent them my DD-214, they were satisfied

I send a note of enquiry to ACS Canada and they said the discount did not apply in Canada. No explanation why not. If you?re able to work some magic and have that policy amended, I?m sure it would be greatly appreciated by those of us here who have served our nation. Richard |
ACS MILITARY DISCOUNT
Hi Richard
Well good to know but here's what I received from a Janette Barber ( Marketing Coordinator) and in my e-mail I specified that I was a Retired RCAF member but she probably still thought that I was a US Citizen.. ---------------------- Greetings, Thank you for your interest in our military discount program. We require proof of your service to the military in order to code your account for the discount program. ---------------------------------------- I'll follow thru with my request and see if I get anywhere...will report back if succesful. Cheers Bruno |
You will find military discounts from almost all the travel agencies and airfare booking sites. VRBO also offers a 15% discount and special rates on booking to military members and veterans.
