“We are delighted that CVS has significantly expanded their discount benefit with us as a way to thank service members, Veterans and their families,” said Scott Higgins, Co-Founder & CEO of Veterans Advantage and a Vietnam War Veteran. “Leading companies like CVS should be heralded for their steadfast commitment to making the lives of those who sacrifice, and put themselves in harm’s way to protect our country, a little bit happier and easier with a financial break on their everyday purchases. On behalf of our Veterans, military personnel, and their families everywhere, we thank CVS for making this possible.”
As an advocate for those who served and continue to serve our nation and their families, Veterans Advantage is a leading partner to major corporations that want to do their part to honor and thank all who serve our country. The organization was founded in 1999 by a group of decorated Military Veterans on the principle that service members deserve our thanks and gratitude every single day – not only during patriotic holidays. The members’ VetRewards Card, used by Veterans Advantage partners to verify their discounts, is the first universal military ID built to safeguard Veterans’ privacy.
