ASOS (UK)

ASOS Discounts for Armed Forces Personnel

ASOS is one of the UK's biggest online fashion retailers, selling everything from jeans and trainers to workwear and going-out gear. Whether you need civvies for a weekend away, smart kit for a formal event, or just some decent basics that won't fall apart after three washes, they stock over 850 brands and tens of thousands of products.

There's no dedicated military discount at ASOS right now, but they run regular sales and promotions throughout the year—and there are a few ways to save money if you know where to look.

What ASOS Sells

ASOS covers pretty much everything clothing-wise. You'll find:

• Men's and women's fashion across all styles and sizes
• Shoes, boots, and trainers
• Sportswear and activewear
• Accessories—bags, belts, watches, sunglasses
• Beauty and skincare products
• Plus-size, petite, tall, and maternity ranges

They stock their own ASOS brand alongside names like Nike, Adidas, Levi's, and The North Face. Prices vary, but you can usually find something that fits your budget—especially if there's a sale on.

Does ASOS Offer a Forces Discount?

Not currently. ASOS doesn't have a military or veterans discount scheme in place. It's been requested plenty of times, but as of now, there's nothing official.

That said, they do offer a student discount (15% off) and they run frequent site-wide sales where you can get 20% to 80% off. If you're a spouse or family member still in education, the student discount might be an option worth checking out.

How to Save Money at ASOS

Even without a forces discount, there are several ways to cut costs:

• Check the outlet section: ASOS has a permanent outlet with discounts often hitting 70% off. Stock changes regularly, so it's worth a look before buying full price.
• Use the refer-a-friend scheme: Refer someone and you both get 20% off your next orders once they've made a purchase. Handy if you've got mates or family who shop there.
• Sign up for ASOS Premier: Costs £9.95 a year and gets you unlimited next-day delivery on orders over £15, plus access to exclusive discounts. If you order a few times a year, it pays for itself.
• Register your birthday: ASOS sometimes sends out discount codes (usually 10% to 20%) around your birthday if you've got an account with your date of birth saved.
• Buy multipacks: Basics like T-shirts, socks, and underwear are often cheaper when bought as multipacks rather than individually.
• Download the app: Occasionally there are app-only deals, and it makes tracking orders easier if you're moving around a lot.

Delivery Options

ASOS offers a few different delivery options depending on how quickly you need your order:

• Standard delivery: Free on orders over £40. Takes a few days.
• Next-day delivery: Costs £5.95. You can choose home delivery, click and collect, or a precise time slot. Available seven days a week for home delivery.
• Next-day AM delivery: If you need it first thing, there's an evening delivery option for £7.95.

If you're an ASOS Premier member, next-day delivery is free on orders over £15. Given how unpredictable schedules can be, paying a tenner a year for that flexibility isn't bad.

Returns

Returns at ASOS are free, which is useful if something doesn't fit or isn't quite right. You can return items via:

• InPost lockers
• ASDA (ToYou service)
• Collect+
• Doddle
• Hermes drop-off or collection
• Royal Mail

You can print a returns label at home or generate one online if you don't have a printer. Returns are pretty straightforward—just don't leave it too long, as you've got 28 days from receiving your order.

Can You Use Discount Codes on Sale Items?

Sometimes. It depends on the code and the terms attached to it. Some promo codes work on sale items, others don't. ASOS only allows one code per order, so you can't stack them. You can, however, use a discount code alongside a gift card.

Student Discount at ASOS

If you're studying—or if a family member is—ASOS offers 15% off with a verified student discount. You sign up through their website using a student email address and confirmation of your graduation year. Once approved, you'll get a code to use at checkout.

It's worth noting that this discount can't be combined with other promo codes, but it does work year-round, which is handy for spreading out purchases.

Is ASOS Worth Using?

ASOS won't always be the cheapest option out there, but the range is huge and delivery is reliable. If you're short on time or posted somewhere without easy access to decent shops, it's a solid choice. The lack of a military discount is frustrating, but the sales are frequent enough that you can usually find a bargain if you're patient.
