WeSalute launched a wholesale travel portal on November 11, 2026, offering members bookings across more than 700 airlines, over 1 million hotels and resorts, and all major cruise lines, with premium members receiving $3,000 in annual Travel Cash. The company announced the platform in a PR Newswire release.

How the WeSalute Travel Portal Works

The WeSalute Travel portal offers exclusive wholesale pricing, and every booking automatically earns WeSalute Rewards Credits that members can redeem for future travel. Premium WeSalute+ members receive the $3,000 Travel Cash gift annually to defray travel costs without blackout dates, plus 50% off low-cost WeSalute Travel Protection, which provides year-round medical evacuation and AD&D insurance coverage.

Members can also book directly with carriers including JetBlue Airways, American Airlines Vacations, Alaska Airlines, Breeze Airways and newly launched partner Avelo Airlines. Breeze Airways is adding 31 new nonstop routes across the US and internationally, with Myrtle Beach and Tampa leading, according to Simpleflying.

"Service recognition shouldn't end when the uniform comes off, nor should it be limited to the battlefield," said Scott Higgins, Co-Founder and Board Chair of WeSalute. "Our mission is to ensure that every individual who commits their life to serving others receives A Real Thank You®— with meaningful and secure-to-redeem offers that recognize their service every day of the year."

WeSalute's Membership Scale and Verification Technology

WeSalute serves over 3 million members, according to akta.pro company records, and was founded in 1999 as Veterans Advantage, PBC. The company offers a free WeSalute Basic tier and a premium WeSalute+ subscription that unlocks corporate-negotiated savings, complimentary Avis Preferred Plus status, 50% off Travel Protection and dedicated Personal Benefits Specialists.

WeSalute also introduced privacy-enhanced military verification technology through its secure WeSalute+ ID Card and zero-cost Brand Connections API, which verify eligible service members without requiring them to expose sensitive documents such as CAC cards, DD-214s or Social Security numbers.

Earlier WeSalute Travel and Member Events

WeSalute launched WeSalute Travel in June 2026, a members-only travel portal offering exclusive wholesale rates to U.S. military members, veterans and service professionals, according to FinancialContent Business Page. The company announced its 14th annual Heroes Meet Heroes live member community event for November 5, 2026, with two virtual sessions at 12:00 PM and 6:30 PM ET, according to PR Newswire.

Expanded Eligibility for Frontline Heroes

WeSalute expanded platform eligibility beyond U.S. active-duty military, veterans and their families this year to include first responders, nurses, medical professionals, public servants and teachers. Members can explore membership plans and partner benefits at wesalute.com/plans.
