Brooks Running takes 25% off for nurses, first responders and military members through ID.me. Sports medicine professionals get 40% off instead.
The 25% comes as single-use discount codes, up to three in a rolling 12-month period. The codes don’t work in Brooks retail stores, and they can’t be combined with another offer, free shipping included.
How To Get The Brooks Running First Responder Discount
- Open Brooks Running’s page on ID.me with the button below and select the 25% offer for your group.
- Sign in to your ID.me Wallet, or create one if you don’t have one, and verify your status.
- After ID.me accepts it, select Allow to share your information with Brooks.
- Use one of your codes on your order. Buy the shoes for yourself, since the codes are for personal use.
Who Qualifies
First responders can be active or retired. ID.me verifies law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMTs and paramedics. Corrections officers, probation officers, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers count as law enforcement. Security officers, coroners and civilian employees don’t qualify.
If you’re a nurse, you don’t need to be a first responder to get the 25%. Nurses have their own group, and ID.me accepts registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, licensed vocational nurses, nurse practitioners and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Certified nursing assistants, nurse aides, patient care technicians, school nurses, home health nurses and travel nurses are on the list too. You have to have graduated from a nursing program and met the licensing requirements to hold a nursing license.
To verify as a nurse, you enter your state license type and license number. When ID.me can’t find you in its nurse database, you upload an ID card, an employment letter signed by an administrator, your nursing license or a pay stub. It has to show your first and last name and a nurse position.
The 40% Sports Medicine Discount
Brooks runs a separate Sports Medicine Ambassador Program for licensed orthopedic physicians, podiatrists, physical or occupational therapists, physical or occupational therapy assistants, athletic trainers and chiropractors. Members get 40% off the first $1,000 they spend on BrooksRunning.com, and the $1,000 resets every New Year’s Day. You verify again every two years.
Nurses aren’t on that list, so they use the 25% offer.
What The Codes Cover
You get up to three single-use 25% codes in a rolling 12-month period, counted from the day your first code is issued. Each code is good for one order, so use it on a purchase you’ve already decided on.
Brooks advertises free shipping when you join Brooks Run Club. A discount code can’t be combined with that, so compare the shipping charge with the 25% before you use one. Items have to be for your own use, and they can’t be reimbursed or resold.
