Yes, Stanley gives first responders a discount, and it runs through ID.me. Stanley’s own ID.me page names first responders in its list of eligible groups, and ID.me’s Stanley listing puts the first responder offer at 20% off. You verify, a one-time code comes off at checkout, and a few things are carved out of the discount, including customized items and anything on sale.
The company is named for William Stanley Jr., who invented the first all-steel insulated vacuum bottle. Wikipedia says the Army reportedly tested Stanley thermoses in World War I by dropping them out of airplanes and running them over with heavy equipment, and that bomber pilots carried them in World War II. Pacific Market International, a subsidiary of The HAVI Group, owns the brand now, and Stanley is best known these days for the Quencher tumblers people call Stanley cups.
How To Get The Stanley First Responder Discount
Start on Stanley’s ID.me page and click Verify with ID.me, then sign in. Once ID.me confirms you, Stanley says a one-time discount code applies automatically during checkout. On later orders you sign in to ID.me at checkout to apply the discount again, so you don’t have to hunt for a code each time.
Stanley’s page doesn’t give a percentage. The 20% comes from ID.me’s Stanley listing, which shows 20% for first responders and for military, nurses, teachers, students and the other groups it covers.
Q&A
Q: Is this offer for first responders?
A: Stanley’s page says it offers exclusive discounts through ID.me to hospital employees, medical providers, military, nurses, first responders, students and teachers. ID.me’s Stanley listing also shows “20% off for First Responders” as a line of its own.
Q: Who counts as a first responder?
A: ID.me decides that. Its list includes paramedics and EMTs, career, volunteer and retired firefighters, and active and retired police officers. ID.me also says nurses, doctors and other medical professionals “are not considered first responders unless specifically listed below,” so a nurse who doesn’t hold one of its listed roles would use the nurse offer on the same page instead.
Q: What doesn’t the discount cover?
A: ID.me’s restrictions for Stanley say the community discount codes don’t apply to customized, sale or clearance items, taxes or shipping, and can’t be combined with any other offers. Select products may also be excluded. ID.me’s Stanley listing mentions customizing the bottles, tumblers and barware, so a personalized piece is out, and it’s worth checking a specific product at checkout before you build a cart around it.
Q: Do I have to verify every time I order?
A: Stanley’s steps say the first verification gives you a one-time code that applies at checkout. After that, you sign in to ID.me at checkout on future purchases to apply your discount.
Q: Is this the Stanley that makes tools?
A: Not this one. The offer is tied to Stanley’s drinkware store, where ID.me lists travel tumblers, food storage, coolers and camp cook sets. Stanley Steemer has its own page.
