Some sites offer up to 30% off.
How’s this unethical? You aren’t fucking anybody over.
If you look in the comments, some people think it’s unethical but others don’t. It’s subjective, i guess.
this is called stolen valor and is overwhelmingly seen as a jerk move
I’m in the military and I give everyone permission to use the code lol
Hardly. Stolen valor is when you impersonate a vet for clout.
You’re putting in a code in a checkout menu that you and you alone will see, to get a discount.
Thought experiment: what if it’s in-store and the cashier asks if you’re in the military and you say yes?
I’d say dick move in that scenario. At that point you’re no longer throwing strings of text at a website, you’re lying to a person. What if the cashier’s father died serving? That’s an awkward situation you don’t wanna be in.
If it’ll save you money go for it
it’s on unethicallifeprotips!
I’m gonna try it everywhere now
If it’s abused it will be removed as a perk and military folks won’t be able to use it.
Hence “unethical”!
It’s not that hard to link to Id.me for verification. If a business doesn’t want to be smart about proper verification that’s on them.
Damn this makes me sad. If this catches on, I’m might to have to stop giving a military discount. I felt it was my duty. I have given military discounts for the last 12 years because the US military under pays those folks that volunteer to give their lives for my freedom to run my business. I run a micro business and that discount can really effect my bottom line. I’m really tired of getting screwed because I tried to do right by the people that protect me.
If you are living in the US, i can assure you, military ain’t protecting you from anyone. USA as a whole is not about protecting, but attacking and killing others.
Hence “unethical” tip. You can always ask for proof!
Also just Google “<site> coupon code” and try random codes from there
That’s true, I’ve saved some money that way.
How about at strip clubs?
Never tried one - please let us know if it works!
