Military Discount

[mamarulis]

Hi all, I was reading a thread below about a military discount. My sister is active duty, stationed in Hawaii, but will be visiting us this week. My family has a trip planned for Sept and I'm curious about the discount.

1. how would my sister go about obtaining discounted tickets?
2. is it considered a no-no for her to purchase us tickets using her discount if she is not coming on the trip?

Thanks for the info!

she should be able to buy them on base. she can buy up to six of them, and she's supposed to be present when you use them, though whether they ask for military ID or not is iffy.

That's good to know. I would hate to have her buy them for us and then not be able to use them once we get to DL.

She can either by them on base or at DL. However she must be there to activate them, only the member or spouse is the only people who can do this. She would need to activate them when she is there visiting you. Once they are activated you are good to go.

Hmm, I'm assuming you mean they need to be activated at DL. Unfortunately, we live in Las Vegas (where she'll be visiting us), so that's not an option. Oh well, thanks for the info!

Yes, it is bad for her to buy them and not be there! Sorry...but if she is not going, she should not buy you HER tickets.... IMHO....sorry to be debbie downer!!!

That's kind of what I was thinking, too. I wish she could come enjoy with us

For sure....my stepdad buys them for my mom and him...they do state that the military person must be present when you walk through!

Good luck!
