How it works

VeteranCrowd is PCI DSS compliant. Your card is tokenized by Visa, data is encrypted with TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES 256-bit at rest, and merchants never see your military status.
Three steps. Then it's just shopping.
No apps to open at checkout. No codes to remember. No moments where you have to identify yourself to a cashier.
Join free
Create your account and confirm your military service just once. It takes about 3 minutes.
Link your Visa
Link the Visa card you already carry. No new card, no new bank account.
Shop normally
Shop at participating merchants, in-store or online. We detect the cash back rewards for you.
Cash back posts automatically; available after a 30–45 day settlement window. The window covers returns and chargebacks. Then it's yours to withdraw to your bank or give to a veteran service organization.

Who we are
Veterans working with veterans.
VeteranCrowd was founded by Bob Louthan, a U.S. Army veteran, after he was turned away at a checkout counter in Richmond, Virginia, for asking about a military discount. He built the company so no veteran has to ask again.
"These aren't some guys trying to get your credit card. These are veterans working with other veterans."

Still paying full price and getting nothing back? That is unacceptable.

Questions from members
Is VeteranCrowd legit?

Is my card data safe?

Why is there a 30–45 day settlement window?
Cash back posts automatically when you shop. It becomes available after 30–45 days so returns and chargebacks can clear. Then you can withdraw it or donate it.
Is there a cost to join?
No. VeteranCrowd is free for the military community. Merchants fund the cash back.
