I could not apply or pay for the card using my account. After contacting support several times with different issues, John gave excellent advice and guidance. The service and communication could not be faulted. Good job - thank you, the card has now gone to print.
A great website. Got help from John after discount codes weren’t working. Resolved within 24hours and kept informed throughout.

My card had expired and on trying to renew the app repeatedly looped around from the renew membership page back to the home page; likewise on the Internet where no renewal option was presented.
Reece was helpful and finally we resolved this. However, it is clear from other feedback here that this problem has affected others, too.

We had some IT issues.So we emailed them and got a reply for Tracy. Couple of emails later and she had us sorted. Very good customer service
My card had run out, on trying to renew the app repeatedly looped around from the renew membership page back to the home page.Contacted John at the helpline and after several very patient and detailed action over several days I was able to renew.
This was a combination of using a VPN and clearing the cache, rebooting and reinstalling the app, not in any particular order.
Tremendous support from John, these things can be annoying but after many years of DDS trouble free use, we often face a challenge !
John, Many thanks for your help and support.

I bought some Holiday Insurance through the Defence Discount site.I was having trouble locating the discount code and contacted their (DDS) customer services.After supplying them(Tracy) with some information about what I was trying to do,she supplied me with the discount code,which saved me 20%,which was a lot of money.I am very happy with the service provided.

My old Defence Discount account had lapsed and I wanted to see whether I was eligible for a new one. As a retired MoD Civil Servant of 40 years standing I was hoping that I could but John explained why that is not currently possible with the rules set by the MoD. Realising my frustration, John informed me that I was now eligible for a Blue Light card and duly took me through that application process. John was a pleasure to work with, helpful, polite and quick to get things processed to a successful conclusion - Thanks John.
