The Military Wallet Releases 2026 Veterans Day Deals List, Launches App and $1,111 Giveaway

More than 50 verified free meals and deals for active military and Veterans, with new offers added daily

COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Military Wallet, a resource for military members, Veterans and their families, today released its 2026 list of Veterans Day free meals and discounts, with more than 50 offers for Veterans and active duty military members on Nov. 11 with new offers added daily.

Offers include a free dine-in meal at participating Chili's Grill & Bar restaurants, a free tall brewed coffee at participating U.S. Starbucks stores, and a free burger, fries and drink at In-N-Out Burger locations.

The Military Wallet has published this list annually for more than a decade, and nearly 1 million Veterans use it each year to find the best deals on Nov. 11. The Military Wallet team spends hundreds of hours finding and verifying Veterans Day offers. The goal of the list is simple: to help active military and Veterans get the most value out of Veterans Day.

"A free meal on Veterans Day is about more than just saving money," said Ryan Guina, founder of The Military Wallet. "This small gesture by large and small businesses goes a long way in making our military service members and Veterans feel appreciated."

The list features nationwide and regional chains and is available at https://themilitarywallet.com/veterans-day-free-meals-and-discounts/.

Tips for Redeeming Veterans Day Offers

To help military members and Veterans make the most of Veterans Day, The Military Wallet recommends the following:

• Bring proof of military service. Most businesses require it to redeem an offer. Accepted forms may include a military ID, a VA-issued Veterans ID card, a driver's license with a Veteran designation or discharge paperwork.
• Confirm participation before you go. Many listed businesses are franchises, and individual locations may set their own policies. Call ahead to verify locations, hours and participation.
• Tip on the full cost of the meal. Customers are encouraged to tip their server thoughtfully, based on the value of the non-discounted meal.
