This code is meant for veterans, first responders and active military.

I don’t know how this makes me feel.

Surely VMP isn’t dumb enough to put out a code meant for a very specific group of people without some sort of verification step that’s easily attained….
I mean do they know how the internet works? People are not going to follow those rules. Not saying I’m condoning it, but information like that will spread without context so fast on the internet circles.

It is my understanding that they will move soon and they have been doing everything to clear up their shelves. Not sure they'll check anything.

I can send them a copy of my EMT certificate if they like. Unsure what else they could do to verify...

Yeah, I’m just saying if they were really keen on making it exclusive for specific people, they could’ve easily had that in place. There are ways to do that.

Yeah I wasn’t even aware that it was intended for only a specific group of people. I just saw it on Reddit without context and wanted to share it here… I feel kinda weird about using it now.

Yep not blaming any of you at all. The person on Reddit posted it knowing well this was meant for active military, vets and EMT. I won’t be shocked if they cancel orders or ask for proof. I had posted this info on that thread and it was downvote to oblivion and some really shitty responses were posted.

Too late for me - I saw it and used it on the Miles that I was going to buy with the next sale. Probably wouldn’t have used it if I knew the context, but again, it’s the internet and Veterans Day sales are very common. Didn’t think anything of it. Just like Memorial Day sales that every single store has.

Yea—you didn’t know. There are clearly people who know abusing the code though. Obviously VMP shouldn’t have done this code openly

It their intention was to somehow support veterans, they would give a percentage of their sales to veterans associations. Here they just want to sale more records in a kind of weird way.

Yeah, it's a company. They're making money no matter what. Using it isn't hurting veterans, it takes nothing away from them. VMP isn't really doing any sort of charity here.

Yeah you’re right. For a moment I felt bad, but now I don’t care. And I’m sure VMP doesn’t either.

yup. honestly.

And considering 40% just gets their prices to a reasonable level, I won't feel too bad about it either.

I think it was a nice gesture for people who have served or are first responders. Cam did it because he’s former military. I sent it to a few family members who love music and are vets or currently serving and they appreciated it and picked up some stuff. I’m personally skipping out on this coupon because it feels icky for me to use it knowing who it’s meant to be for. They definitely should have utilized some kind of gov ID system to let people be eligible.
Some of the Reddit comments are truly disgusting though.
