The Defence Forces discount scheme has been introduced as part of the Military Community Covenant and offers reductions to card holders from a range of businesses. All major supermarkets offer a cashback scheme. Major retailers ranging from clothes shops to cinemas, from tourist attractions to hotels and restaurants, insurance, holidays and much more.
