I am dealing with the administration of my Fathers death and although this was a rather minor problem it was dealt with quickly and efficiently, I could have had the card transferred into my name but as I already hold my own Defence Discount card it was surplus to requirement

I had problems getting a link to reset my password and it took a week before I got a response from the Defence Discount Service. However Clover very helpfully reset things for me so it was simple to renew my card (which is incredibly useful to have). Clover asked me to get in touch if I still had issues but thankfully all went ahead smoothly. I felt the wait for a response to my email was overlong but understood that the team were dealing with a high number of queries so I was happy to wait

I had a problem with my on-line account which I could not resolve. Accessing my account via the mobile app was fine but through the web-based route on my laptop, it was having none of it. I submitted my problem via email and was promptly answered by Clover. After a number of emails between her and myself, the problem was fully and promptly resolved. Without her assistance, backed up by her obvious knowledge, it is highly unlikely I would have sorted this out. Please pass on my appreciation to Clover.

Brilliant Discounts
I have just renewed my Defence Discount subscription after five years and it was a pleasant surprise that the cost of £4.99 has not increased.
When I first got this card, it was slow to take off and I wondered why I applied for it, but all of a sudden there was an explosion on how many retailers were accepting the card.
Our biggest surprise was in October 2025, we purchased a brand-new car (KIA Sportage 1 6T GDi HEV GT-Line S 5dr Auto AWD) and we received a massive discount, in the region of thousands of pounds, of the price of the car!
Full marks to Defence Discount Services (DDS) as it is there to save us money, especially in the time where money is tight!
