MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digital identity solution provider ID.me today announced a partnership with MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) that will allow members of the military and student communities to receive discounts on official merchandise and the league’s live-game streaming service.
For both the military and student communities MLB.TV is offering a 35% discount on monthly and annual subscriptions. MLB.TV, the #1 live streaming sports service, offers every out-of-market regular season MLB game.
Exclusively for the military community, the official MLB.com Shop now is offering a 20% discount on nearly all merchandise including officially licensed jerseys, caps, memorabilia and more for all 30 MLB teams.
With ID.me, military community members (including active duty, retirees, veterans, military spouses and military family members) and students can instantly access exclusive military and student discounts. After successfully verifying their group status through ID.me, users will have access to the ID.me Shop, ID.me’s cash back marketplace, including discounts for MLB.TV and the MLB.com Shop as well as hundreds of other partnering retailers. ID.me’s free cash back program also provides customers the opportunity to earn cash back on most purchases.
“As America’s pastime, Major League Baseball has fans throughout the military and student communities,” said Blake Hall, CEO and co-founder of ID.me. “Both groups are frequently required to relocate away from their homes and the teams they support. This program ensures that fans can follow their favorite clubs no matter where they live.”
To take advantage of these exclusive discounts from the MLB.com Shop and MLB.TV, members of the military community and students simply need to sign up online through ID.me, and then verify their group status during checkout.
