How To Get A YouTube TV Military Discount
For those eligible, YouTube TV’s military discount is offered through ID.me. To prove eligibility, active military members and veterans need to verify their military status.
How to verify military status for a YouTube TV discount
- Visit ID.me
- Click on the Verify with ID.me button
- Sign in or create a new ID.me account
- Select Begin
- Enter the required military information
- Enter a .mil email address, if prompted
Depending on the circumstance, including the inability to provide a .mil email address, the individual may need to provide some additional documentation to confirm their military status. This can include uploading a DD214, pay stub, or other proof of military service.
Once eligibility has been confirmed, the miliary member or veteran will receive a YouTube TV purchase link which makes it possible to sign up to YouTube TV at the discounted price.
It is important to ensure you are logged in to the Google account you plan to use with YouTube TV before clicking this link, as this will ensure you can access the live TV service on your preferred devices.
Who Can’t Redeem A YouTube TV Military Discount
In addition to being an active military member or veteran, those applying for the YouTube TV military discount will need to be a new YouTube TV subscriber.
Similar to other promotions and discounts YouTube TV offers, the military discount is only available to those signing up as a new subscriber. This immediately rules out anyone who already has an existing YouTube TV membership.
The military discount also cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts.
As a result, those planning on taking advantage of a different YouTube TV promotion, including any discounts available right now, will need to decide which discount offers them the best return before signing up.
