TalkingParents offers preferred subscription pricing for eligible military members, veterans, and first responders through our Service Appreciation Program (SAP).
Service Appreciation Program requests are reviewed by our Support team and require supporting documentation to verify qualifying service or employment.
Submission of documentation does not guarantee approval. Additional information or account action may be required before a request can be reviewed or preferred pricing can be applied.
Service Appreciation Program Options
TalkingParents currently offers preferred subscription pricing for two categories of eligible users:
- Military members and veterans who meet the qualifying service requirements.
- First responders who meet the qualifying employment or service requirements.
Approved users receive access to designated monthly and annual TalkingParents subscription plans at preferred rates rather than a percentage-based discount.
Each request is reviewed based on the information and documentation provided.
Before You Apply
To help avoid delays, please review the following before submitting a Service Appreciation Program request:
- Documentation must clearly identify the TalkingParents account holder requesting preferred pricing and verify their qualifying military service or first responder role.
- Documentation must be readable and contain sufficient information to verify eligibility.
- You may redact account numbers, financial amounts, or other sensitive financial information not necessary for verification.
- If you currently have an active subscription, keep your plan active while your application is being reviewed. Your approval notification will explain when preferred pricing becomes available and whether additional action is required.
- Service Appreciation Program pricing is not available through Apple App Store or Google Play billing. Contact Support before making changes to your billing provider.
- If your account currently has an active Fee Waiver, the waiver must end before Service Appreciation Program pricing can begin.
- Approval does not guarantee that preferred subscription prices will remain unchanged.
- If you are unsure whether your profession qualifies, contact our Support team before applying.
