    How to Verify Your Military Status & Redeem the Main Event Military Discount

    Most retailers verify your military status through one of three trusted services. The exact method depends on the brand:

    1. ID.me – Used by most major US brands. Create a free account at id.me, upload your military ID or service documents once, and get a discount code.
    2. SheerID – Common for outdoor, fitness, and lifestyle brands. Verification is instant against DoD records in most cases.
    3. In-store ID check – Show your CAC, VA card, retiree ID, or DD-214 at checkout. Available for active duty, Guard/Reserve, retirees, veterans, and qualifying dependents (varies by retailer).

    Who qualifies for the Main Event military discount?

    Eligibility typically extends to: active duty (all branches), National Guard, Reserves, retirees, military veterans, and immediate family members (spouses and children) where the retailer permits. Always check the brand's current policy at checkout — terms can change.

    Pro tips before you check out

    • Verification accounts (ID.me, SheerID) work across hundreds of brands — set one up once and reuse it.
    • Some brands stack military discount with seasonal sales; others do not. Test before you commit.
    • Keep your service documents handy: a photo of your ID on your phone speeds in-store verification.
