As a benefit to all users; what is the greatest military discount you have come across?

Could be a very well known discount or one given in limited areas. Whatever it may be, list name of store and applicable discount. Don't forget to mention location so others can benefit from it.

SFC Rosenlund, the best discount I received was when I spent a week in New York City over New Year's Eve.  I paid only $55 per night for a hotel room in midtown Manhattan! The next cheapest hotels started at $150 per night, or at least that's how much they cost during the week I was there. <div><br></div><div> The hotel is the Soldiers Sailors Marines Coast Guard and Airmen's Club.  Lodging is for service members, retirees, veterans and their families.  The facilities were lovely and the staff was very friendly.  I highly recommend staying there.  </div><div><br></div><div><font color="#006621" face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: nowrap;">http://ssmaclub.org</span></font></div><div><font color="#006621" face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: nowrap;"><br></span></font></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://ssmaclub.org">Soldiers', Sailors', Marines', Coast Guard and Airmen's Club | Serving Those Who Serve</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">The Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard and Airmen’s Club, since 1919 continues to fulfill its mission, as the only private organization in the New York area to provide accommodations at subsid...</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div>

The 10% discount at Lowes and Home Depot have saved me thousands of dollars in various home renovations and projects. For example, I built a fence and bought everything at Lowes. I saved over $600 on the purchase of everything. That's pretty significant. Add it up through the years and its been thousands of dollars between each company.

Taco Cabana has a nice 20% discount in San Antonio, which is very nice.

The Houston Zoo lets military and their family enter for free.

You nailed this one Sir! I have saved a ton over the years at Lowes and Home Depot as well. The discount effectively nullifies the sales tax and then some!
