Cardholder Questions

1. How does the VeteranCrowd program work?

Our program matches participating merchants' discount programs to verified Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve Members and their families. Once you verify your military status, your Visa card will gather the discounts you've earned with your service. You'll start to see hundreds of dollars in savings as you automatically participate in discount programs you didn't even know existed at the merchants you already frequent.

Our RoundUps for Charities Program operates with similar “set and forget” simplicity. Once you set your RoundUp level and identify your charitable Beneficiary, the rest of the process operates automatically.

2. Do I need to carry a separate card to take advantage of the discounts?

You must use a card registered with VeteranCrowd to take advantage of our discounts and RoundUps programs. You may register as many Visa cards as you wish, and you will be able to manage them in your VeteranCrowd wallet.

3. How do I know which merchants are participating in the program?

Our platform is constantly updated with new participating merchants, so the savings never stop! You can check our website or app to see the list of current participating merchants.

4. How do I verify my veteran status?

We securely verify your military status the first time you register. Set it and forget it. No more hassle to get the discounts you’ve already earned or make donations to the charities you support!

5. What if my veteran status validation fails?

We validate your status by working with the VA. They use the address on your DD-214 for validation so if the address you entered doesn’t match then validation will fail. You can remedy this by logging into the VA site and editing your address. The updated address will now supersede the DD-214 address so use that one in the Veteran Validator.

6. How will I know if I am receiving VeteranCrowd discounts?

You decide how you like to be notified, but most people choose instant notification via text messaging, but you can always check your account on our website or app to see the discounts and rewards that have been applied by your favorite brands.
