This refers to military but I don’t recall reading anything stating whether active duty or veterans, you should put which because some companies have a preference while others apply discounts to both.
Check out my Ultimate Military Credit Cards Course for more details! The annual fee waived credit cards primarily apply to active duty, guard and reserve on active orders, and active duty spouses.
