Scott's View: Rent A Car with Veterans Advantage; Celebrating the Army Birthday and Flag Day

June 12, 2021

Monday, June 14th, is the Army’s 246th Birthday, and also Flag Day! To all my fellow Army veterans, I wish you a very happy birthday. On behalf of the team at Veterans Advantage, thank you for your service to our country! And may we all proudly show our flag’s colors this weekend, too.

Here’s a helpful tip for using VetRewards: Our most popular offers these days are car rentals! In the post-COVID world, the thought of sharing a car like Uber is not as appealing as it was two years ago, so we’re all renting cars from our top partners Avis and Budget, as well as others such as Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, National & Alamo.

Check out more of these opportunities in the Travel & Lifestyle section of the Military Discounts Marketplace, and see the country you served!
