ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Nationwide, convenience chains are rolling out promotions to keep customers engaged during the 100 days of summer and beyond.
Pilot Company, based in Knoxville, Tenn., and its travel center brands are demonstrating appreciation of veterans and military personnel through a new year-round military discount program. The company said it is providing a 10% discount on food and beverages to the military community once individuals are verified through ID.me in the myRewards Plus™ app.
The offer is open to all veterans, active-duty and retired service members, National Guard, Reserves, their spouses and immediate family members and is available at participating Pilot Flying J and One9 Fuel Network locations.
Pilot Company was founded 63 years ago by Jim Haslam, a Korean War veteran. The company gives back to military and veteran organizations that provide education and employment programs to support service members and their families. The company recently donated $100,000 to the Call of Duty Endowment in honor of Military Appreciation Month, which will help place nearly 200 veterans into high-quality careers.
