Leaving the military: what happens to your discounts

When you release, some discounts stop and most carry on, but you prove your service with different cards. Here's what changes, so nothing catches you out at the till.

At your release

  • Your NDI 20 goes back. You hand it in at your final release interview, so deals that ask for it won’t work after that.
  • Veteran’s Service Card (NDI 75): Regular Force members receive it at the final release interview; the release centre applies for you. For reservists, the unit’s administration section handles it. Already released? Apply online or by mail with form DND 9036. Details on canada.ca.
  • Update your CF One card to veteran (V). CFMWS accepts your Veteran’s Service Card, release certificate, pension statement or a letter from VAC or from the military as proof. Your family can keep theirs as V-F.
  • Using a serving-only program? Outdoor ProLink brands, for example, are open to serving members only, so make any planned purchases before your release date.
  • Retired and veteran can be priced differently. The Epic Military Pass, for example, counts members with 10+ years of service as retired, at a lower price than other veterans.
  • More detail in Which ID do I show?
