🔐 How do I get a promo code?
Apply for a Digital Veterans Card through GOV.UK between 7 November and 9 November 2025.
Once you’ve applied, you’ll receive a promo code for a free 2-year membership with the Defence Discount Service. You can then use it directly via their website.
🗓️ When is the promo code valid?
You can use your promo code anytime between 7 November and 23 November 2025 to activate your free membership.
⏳ Why is the membership only for 2 years?
It’s a limited-time offer to mark Remembrance Day, exclusively for those applying for a Digital Veterans Card during the promotion window.
🔁 I already have a Defence Discount Service card. Can I use the promo code at renewal?
Yes – if your current membership is due for renewal and you’ve received a promo code during the eligible dates, you can use it until 23 November 2025.
If your card isn’t up for renewal or you applied outside the promo window, you’ll need to renew as normal.
💷 I’ve paid for a card recently – can I get a refund?
Unfortunately not. This is a special offer for a specific time period and applies only to those applying for a Digital Veterans Card between 7 and 9 November 2025.
🛠️ What if my promo code doesn’t work?
Your promo email includes a step-by-step guide to help you sign up and apply the code.

🔄 I had a Defence Discount Service card before – can I use the code to renew?
Yes! If your previous membership has expired, you can use your promo code to restart it.
Just make sure you redeem your code before 23 November 2025.
If your membership is still active, you’ll need to wait and renew it in the usual way.
💻 I have a digital-only membership. Can I use the promo code for a physical card?
Absolutely. Your promo code can be used to upgrade to a physical card, which will be posted to the address on your account.
🔁 Can I use my promo code more than once?
No – each code is unique and linked to your Digital Veterans Card application. It can only be used once and shouldn’t be shared.
📮 When will I receive my physical card?
It only takes a few minutes to apply online. Your card should arrive within a couple of weeks, but you’ll be able to start using digital discounts right away.
