Pat Riot Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Well, I tried but "Amazon couldn't verify my eligibility" so I couldn't get the discount. How the **** can they verify or deny my "eligibility" when they do not have my records? Weird. I guess I will have to contact them at Customer Support team at VeteransDay@amazon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that thing is a mess. I tried numerous times and it was a mess. I could never get it to work. https://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=3979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go to the "landing page," on that "landing page" look under the "Continue" button. Pat, I don't know why, but mine was immediately approved and they accepted my payment.

Pat Riot Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Well, I contacted Amazon Customer Service. Gave them my info. They came back wanting to know when I retired or if I am still on active duty. I replied I had served and was not active or retired. They wrote back and asked for my email address, which I thought was odd as they were emailing me so I sent them the same email address. The lady wrote back and said “No, we need your “.mil” address” I explained I was not IN the military so why would I have a DOT MIL email address. They said they needed proof. I send them a copy of my license and told them they weren’t getting a copy of my DD214. I haven’t heard back. The two ladies I was corresponding with are Indian. I doubt they even know how this veteran thing works. At this point I don’t care. It was a nice gesture on Amazon’s part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 10 minutes ago, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: On line it just asks for the date service ended. Yep. The only thing I can figure is I may have not put my exact birth year when I signed up for Amazon but there is no way to verify that on line. There was a time when I put false birth years on websites because of all the fraud going on and that may be it. But at this point I don’t care now. I do this thing where I look at how much time something is taking me and if the savings or benefit does not outweigh what my hourly salary rate is in the time it takes to accomplish it I drop it and move on. Life’s too short to worry about $40 when I save way more than that in a few orders on Amazon. So what? I didn’t get the discount. Oh freakin’ well. It’s no biggie.
