B&Bs for Vets

As a way of thanking our active military and veterans who are serving or have served our country, we invite you to participate in the B&Bs for Vets program sponsored by the Association of Lodging Professionals!

Open to all lodging properties, inns, and B&Bs in the U.S, participation in B&Bs for Vets is easy. You simply offer at least one FREE room for one night or a Buy One and Get One Free offer on or around Veteran's Day in November to a deserving veteran or active duty military. If offering a room on Veterans Day won't work for you, feel free to offer other dates for free stays for vets. We'll still promote your offer under the B&Bs for Vets campaign.

The B&Bs for Vets website is active year around so that you may list your other military discounts throughout the year. This makes the website much more valuable both for you to attract military guests and for them to find offers. There is no fee for this listing that will expand your marketing opportunity to veterans- you just need to provide one FREE room or a Buy One / Get One Free offer to a veteran in November! Please note that there is no requirement to offer a free night in order to offer a special.

Of course, if you wish to offer more than one room for one night, we encourage that! If you’d like to offer one free room and then a few more at a BOGO or specially discounted rate, that’s fine, as long as the one free room is honored. Get your property listed today! (Please read the FAQs below before submitting a listing)
