Goldsmiths

Yes. Goldsmiths runs its own Military Key Worker Discount, giving eligible Armed Forces personnel and their dependants 20% off selected watches and jewellery once verified, at the time of writing. The saving applies to a wide range of Goldsmiths lines but excludes many premium watch brands, so check the small print before you buy.

The latest Goldsmiths offers and deals are listed on this page and updated regularly, so you can save on rings, watches and gifts even on days when you'd rather not bother with ID checks. Browse those first, then use the military discount underneath for anything it covers.

Does Goldsmiths offer a military discount?

Goldsmiths offers this discount directly, rather than through the Defence Discount Service.
The retailer offers those working for an essential service a 20% discount on selected watches and jewellery
, with
the offer applicable on Tissot, Boss, Swarovski, Calvin Klein, Oris, Ted Baker, Skagen, Goldsmiths Jewellery, Engagement Rings and many more
.

Eligibility is wide:
anyone in the UK who works for the Armed Forces
can apply. Verification runs through Goldsmiths' own key worker portal, and
this verification service is run for any queries about verification or eligibility, and you can upload a valid R.A.F, Army, Navy or Armed Forces Dependents Card
. That last document matters, because it means spouses and partners holding a Dependants Card can also verify.

The Goldsmiths military discount comes with a lengthy exclusions list.
All offers exclude price matched items, exclusive items, "Smart/Connected Watches", Goldsmiths Lab Grown Diamonds, and a long list of luxury brands including Rolex, Breitling, Cartier, TAG Heuer, TUDOR, OMEGA, IWC and Patek Philippe, along with clocks, vintage jewellery, pre-owned watches, limited editions and ex-display stock
. It also can't be stacked.
Offers cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion, promotion code, cashback or discount, including Tesco Clubcard Reward Tokens, Consumer Credit, PayPal Credit, Claims Service Cards, Gift Cards or Insurance Cards
.

Separately, Blue Light Card members have their own route in.
Blue Light Card partners with a selection of trusted brands and retailers, including Pandora, Abbott Lyon, Monica Vinader, Goldsmiths, Garmin and H.Samuel
. That version is
available online only and exclusive to Blue Light Card members, valid for online orders and cannot be used in store
, so it's worth comparing the two routes before checking out.

How to claim the Goldsmiths military discount

1. Check the live Goldsmiths offers listed on this page first, in case there's a bigger saving on the piece you want.
2. Decide which route suits you: Goldsmiths' own key worker verification, or your Blue Light Card account if you already hold one.
3. Have proof ready.
   You can upload a valid R.A.F, Army, Navy or Armed Forces Dependents Card
   .
4. Complete verification and wait for your unique discount code or link.
5. Shop the eligible ranges online, such as selected jewellery and the named watch brands, and check the item isn't on the exclusion list.
6. Apply the code at checkout. Remember it won't stack with sale prices, gift cards or other promotions.

Who is eligible

Goldsmiths' own wording is broad:
anyone in the UK who works for the Armed Forces
can verify for the military discount, and the accepted proof of ID extends to an
Armed Forces Dependents Card
, which covers spouses and partners. Serving Regulars and Reservists with a valid service ID should be able to verify without issue. Veterans without a current Armed Forces ID, cadet force adult volunteers and MOD civil servants aren't specifically addressed in Goldsmiths' own terms, so if you fall into one of those groups it's worth checking the verification page directly, or using your Blue Light Card if you're already a member, before assuming you're covered.
