FramesDirect takes 10% off for first responders when you add at least $75 in frames to your cart and verify through ID.me. Once you’re verified, the 10% is applied automatically at checkout, and FramesDirect says it can be combined with vision insurance. That last detail matters if you have a plan and don’t want to pick between coverage and a discount.
FramesDirect is an online eyewear retailer that sells eyeglasses, sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses. The site has a book-an-eye-exam link in its header, and it says a certified optician will respond to questions within one business day. If you’re not sure how a frame will work with your prescription, that’s a useful place to ask before you order.
How To Get The FramesDirect First Responder Discount
FramesDirect walks through it in three steps on its ID.me discount page. First, add at least $75 in frames to your cart. Second, choose to verify with ID.me when you get to checkout. Third, once you’re verified, the 10% is applied automatically and you complete your purchase.
The page names first responders (police, firefighters, EMTs, and so on) among the eligible groups, next to military, teachers, medical professionals, government employees, students, and seniors 55 and over. If you don’t have an ID.me account yet, set one up before you build your cart, because verification is the step that can slow you down.
The $75 Minimum Is On Frames
Read that minimum carefully. FramesDirect’s page says the cart needs at least $75 in frames, and ID.me’s listing for the store puts it as a $75 minimum spend on frames. Lenses, contacts, or accessories on their own won’t get you to the threshold, so if you’re only after a replacement pair of lenses, this isn’t the discount to plan around.
ID.me’s restrictions note adds that the community offer can be stacked with other promotions and insurance benefits. That’s ID.me’s wording rather than FramesDirect’s, and FramesDirect’s own page only commits to insurance, so treat promotion stacking as something to test at checkout. Look at your total after verification and before you pay.
