Valid at any of CVS/pharmacy's 7,600 stores nationwide, or at CVS.com, U.S. Active Duty Military, Veterans, National Guard & Reserve and their families can save 20% off purchases and receive free shipping for online orders. 

"CVS/pharmacy is proud to honor military and veteran families with this new benefit for Veterans Advantage members, allowing them to access significant savings whether they shop with us in our stores or on CVS.com," said Rob Price, Chief Marketing Officer of CVS/pharmacy.  "This program demonstrates our continued commitment to those who have given so much in service to our country."

At CVS/pharmacy, the 20% discount applies to all full price purchases and cannot be used in conjunction with another offer. There are no blackout dates or restrictions. On CVS.com, the 20% savings can be used in combination with other CVS promotions and members will enjoy free shipping automatically applied at checkout, allowing active duty personnel, vets and their families to achieve even greater savings.

"We are delighted that CVS has significantly expanded their discount benefit with us as a way to thank service members, Veterans and their families," said Scott Higgins, Co-Founder & CEO of Veterans Advantage and a Vietnam War Veteran.  "Leading companies like CVS should be heralded for their steadfast commitment to making the lives of those who sacrifice, and put themselves in harm's way to protect our country, a little bit happier and easier with a financial break on their everyday purchases. On behalf of our Veterans, military personnel, and their families everywhere, we thank CVS for making this possible."

As an advocate for those who served and continue to serve our nation and their families, Veterans Advantage is a leading partner to major corporations that want to do their part to honor and thank all who serve our country. The organization was founded in 1999 by a group of decorated Military Veterans on the principle that service members deserve our thanks and gratitude every single day – not only during patriotic holidays. The members' VetRewards Card, used by Veterans Advantage partners to verify their discounts, is the first universal military ID built to safeguard Veterans' privacy.
