The "ID.me" company is the same ones who the Social Security Administration was making everyone use to get access to their accounts.

Their discounts aren't any more than what I can get off through other organizations or even a good sale.

I've used it to ID me for Vet discounts

Again: ID.me offers no discounts on anything. They are simply an identity service to which others, such as Apple, the IRS, and the VA, subscribe.

For God's sake, it's right there in the name: ID.me.

Very handy for verifying service and that often leads to deals as well. I use GOVX AND ID.me. Have some ATL Braves tickets for an upcoming game close to my birthday I was able to get secure for a very discounted price through govx. Get a great discount for veterans, military, LE, and rescue/fire through Microtech as well. Can’t say enough about those guys. I find awesome deals through DVOR as well although I don’t really need m service status to get amazing deals sometimes through them. If you ever have any questions about any of those feel free to reach out and email me.

ID.me may be in a bit of hot water:

Senators Urge FTC to Probe ID.me Over Selfie Data
May 18, 2022

Some of more tech-savvy Democrats in the U.S. Senate are asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate identity-proofing company ID.me for “deceptive statements” the company and its founder allegedly made over how they handle facial recognition data collected on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, which until recently required anyone seeking a new IRS account online to provide a live video selfie to ID.me.

Apple uses ID.me to authorize access to military discounts on the Apple website.
