Eugene, OR – November 6, 2013 – SheerID, a leader in eligibility verification technology, has teamed up with retailers like Guitar Center and The Buckle to launch new discounts and offers on everything from apparel to backpacks to motorcycle gear this Veterans Day. “Veterans Day is a time to show our appreciation to those who have fought, and are currently fighting, to protect our freedoms,” says Jake Weatherly, CEO of SheerID. “Retailers want to recognize service with deep, exclusive offers.” SheerID’s verification platform makes it possible for retailers to gate their offers and to give their customers a better user experience. “It’s important to us to keep the online shopping experience simple for our customers, but we also need to be confident that only qualified military personnel can redeem our coupon codes,” explains Jerica Howard, Vice President of Sales at Ivar. “Now that we’re working with SheerID, we can honor all veterans, active military members, and their families by offering online discounts and free shipping on our unique, comfortable Ivar backpacks.” To be verified by SheerID and redeem the following discounts online, active duty military only need to provide their first name, last name, and date of birth.

Additional Soundbites
“Motorcyclists’ safety is a major concern not just for AXO, but also for the military. We are always concerned about our soldiers being at the front in hot areas around the world, but we tend to forget that a motorcyclist without the right equipment is in greater danger at home. That is why, giving preferential pricing to the people that defend our freedom is the minimum we could do to protect our heroes and say thank you” Nicola Serragiotto, VP at AXO “We can’t thank our military guests enough for their continued service in protecting our country and way of life. We are honored to offer a military discount on our merchandise, as this is just one way we can express our sincere gratitude for all they do.” Lori Cody, Director of Marketing at The Buckle, Inc.
