Best Buy is one of the nation’s top retailers for televsions, computers, major appliances, sound systems, wearable technology and more. Some locations offer a military discount but there is no corporate-wide military discount.

Store managers have the individual discretion to offer a 10% discount. Your best bet at Best Buy is to call ahead or talk to a store manager when you are at the store. Because the discount varies, this discount is not available for online purchases.

To prove your military affiliation, be prepared to show one of the following:

  • Current military ID
  • DD214
  • State ID with “Veterans” designation

However, there are other ways to save at Best Buy.
