Looking into buying a hitch mount bike transport rack and discovered that some manufacturers offer military discounts, but require validation through https://id.discount/ . I haven't browsed all of the vendors on their list, but did see Road ID as offering a discount to military and first responders.

This web service claims to validate to sellers, individuals who are or have been military, teachers, or first responders. The mechanism is that you, the buyer, register with them and provide proof of service. Thereafter, any vendor who subscribes to their service will accept you for discount. Since they ask for some personal info I tend to be cautious.

Anyone here go through this verification process? If so, did it unleash a dump of unwanted emails (or worse).

Thanks
