The DAV is pleased to announce its Member Benefits Package designed to enhance the lives of our members and their families and give added value to DAV membership. In addition to DAV programs and services, members will now have access to a variety of important programs, products, and services.
Ford Motor Company Partner Recognition
Ford Motor Company has invited the DAV to join their Partner Recognition Program. The program offers members the opportunity to purchase or lease eligible vehicles at Ford Motor Company's X-Plan pricing (S-Plan pricing for Mazda vehicles). Eligible vehicles include virtually all Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, and Land Rover products (Certain vehicles may be excluded). This can mean savings of hundreds, even thousands of dollars for our members.
PowerNet Global Long Distance Phone Service
PowerNet Global is making it easier for DAV members and employees to keep in touch with each other. For just 5.4 cents a minute, members can make interstate telephone calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week even during peak calling times! And there are no monthly fees. The DAV receives 2% of the charges on every long distance call you make for programs benefiting disabled veterans and their families.
Prescription Discount Program
Creative Benefits Design (CBD) has created a new, no cost, no enrollment, no monthly fee discount prescription drug program for DAV and Auxiliary members. Members can now save up to 60%, and in some instances more, on over 12,000 prescription drugs. Members may even mail order a 90-day supply of their medication, which may provide a greater discount as well as added member convenience.
CBD, in partnership with Pharmacy Benefit Management, will provide this benefit to our members and their families and will allocate 25 cents per prescription (35 cents per mail order prescription) to the DAV for programs benefitting disabled veterans and their families. Members need only present their DAV Pharmacy Discount Card to a participating pharmacy (Wal-Mart and K-Mart, for example) and their pharmacist will enter their name into a secure national database allowing for savings at over 46,000 pharmacies nationwide.
Travel Discounts
Popular hotel franchises are offering lodging discounts for DAV members. Discounts of 15-30% off standard rates (rates are based upon availability and some blackout dates may apply) will mean real savings for our members on the road. Hotel/Motels: Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Ramada, Travelodge, Knights Inn, Wingate Inn, Villager.
Dining Rewards Program
iDine Prime is a program designed to save money for our members who enjoy dining out. The program boasts over 7,000 participating restaurants nationwide offering 20% savings off your entire bill, including tax and tip, up to a maximum spending of $600 per restaurant, per month. With the iDine/DAV Program, once you accumulate "Qualified Dines" generating $40 in total discounts in the year of your enrollment, and in successive years of enrollment, then all subsequent qualified dines will receive the "Dining Reward" as a credit on your credit card and will be reflected on your credit card statement.
Moving Discounts
North American Van Lines and Global Van Lines have teamed up to provide DAV members the opportunity to lessen the costs of interstate moving. Minimum discounted rates of 50% off transportation services are available for members moving to another state, with 2% in excess of the discount contributed to the DAV for programs benefiting disabled veterans and their families. That's a substantial savings considering the high cost of total moving expenses!
Legal Services
The DAV has started our own nationwide network of attorneys who have agreed to give reduced-fee services to our members. These lawyers will prepare simple wills for $100 and health care and financial powers of attorney for $35 each. Other legal services are provided at 10% off the lawyer's prevailing rate.
