Dillard’s Hero Appreciation Days is a special event that honors military personnel and first responders, offering them discounts as a token of gratitude for their service. This program is a great way for Dillard’s to give back to those who protect and serve our communities.

Required Documentation for Verification

To benefit from these discounts, participants must present valid military or government-issued identification at the time of checkout. Accepted documents include: military ID cards (for active duty, reservists, and National Guard), veteran ID cards, DD-214 discharge papers, and police or firefighter badges. It’s crucial to note that standard employee IDs from private companies are not accepted as proof for these discounts, as the focus is on honoring verified military heroes and first responders.

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirement for verification is to present a valid government or military-issued ID that includes a photo or the appropriate discharge papers. General employment ID badges will not qualify for these discounts, ensuring that only those who truly meet the military or service status criteria can access the appreciation benefits. Verification is performed in person at the checkout, streamlining the process for eligible individuals.
