The Nike Military Discount: Here’s What You NEED to Know
Nike is one of many stores that offers a military discount to eligible service members. As Nike’s way of showing appreciation, they give out a single-use 10% military discount to all service men and women for online purchases. Applying for the Nike military discount is fairly straightforward, but there are some hoops you need to jump through.
The Nike military discount is a 10% discount for online purchases or purchases via the Nike app.
The discount is handed out via a 1-time use promo code….but you can re-verify and get another one (more on that below).
Spouses and dependents of active military personnel are also eligible to use the discount.
The Steps to Apply For the Discount
To apply for the military discount, follow the below steps.
1. Click here to verify your military status via SheerID. Here you’ll need to complete a required verification form and upload documentation proving your status.
2. Once your status is verified, you’ll be able to use your single-use 10% off promo code.
3. Select your items online or via the Nike app, and use your 10% promo code.
PRO TIP: EVIDENCE YOU MIGHT NEED TO PROVIDE
There’s a good chance that SheerID will ask you for more information to confirm your eligibility.
Namely, they’ll ask for the following:
- First and last name
- Branch of service
- Your current affiliation with the armed services
- Your discharge date (if applicable)
Also, according to SheerID, they will be permanently delete all documents after verification.
They suggest covering (blacking out) any sensitive information that is not relevant to confirming your eligibility which I think is a great idea.

You Can Use the Discount Multiple Times
Specifically, you can use the discount once every 7 days.
However, you’ll need to re-verify your status every time to receive a promo code to use at checkout.
Also, be aware that once you receive the promo code it will expire after two weeks of being issued.
So, if you forget to use your current promo code after a couple of weeks, you can always re-verify your status and receive a new promo code.
This Military Discount is Good ONLY Online
You can only use the SheerID 10% promo code online or via the Nike app.
BUT…most Nike stores and Outlet stores will give you 10% off if you show proof of service.
The following are acceptable forms of documentation:
– Military ID card (active, reserve, or retired)
– Veteran ID card (or a government-issued ID with veteran designation)
– Discharge papers (DD-214)
Keep in mind that not all Nike retail or Outlet stores accept the military discount in-store, but it’s always worth asking.
