What is LeoAdventures.com?

LeoAdventures.com is a public service appreciation program to honor and acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices made by U.S Public Service Employees (“PSE”) whose employment is from a federal, state or local government agency/entity. Qualified members receive courtesy pricing on premium products. Because you dedicate your life to public service employment, LeoAdventures is here to help enrich your life outside of work. After all, you serve others every day, now it’s your turn to have fun!

Why do you charge a Membership fee?
All public service employees must be above reproach. Almost all federal, state and local government laws have ethical guidelines about asking for and accepting discounts and gifts. Using any part of work time to solicit for personal discounts is prohibited. Instead of leaving a grey area a question our fee is to eliminate any possible appearance of wrong doing on the part of the those who serve. The fee pays for us to operate as a business.
Who is Qualified to Join?

Full time, part time, Volunteer First Responder, Veterans and retired employees from Federal, State, or Local government agencies.

Why my pay statement and pay?

PSE identity and employment verification is required because we have an agreement with our vendors to verify current employment or previous. For full-time and part-time employees providing us a copy of your most recent pay statement is the most efficient way of verifying both PSE identity & employment. We get 1000’s of different types so having everything showing makes it easy for us to verify membership status quickly keeping membership costs low. We do not keep any of this information. Almost all public service pay is public and we do not keep any of this information, it is deleted as soon as the application is rejected or approved.

For your privacy, you may redact your SSN, gross wages, employee number and bank account/routing information, and home address.

Brands & Product Issues

HIDE THIS
What brands do you have in your store?
The “Brands” section of our site contains a list of our current vendors that you are able to view without completing the membership application. We are continually engaging new vendors to increase the breadth and depth of desirable vendors available to our members.
What does full Inventory Mean?
Our vendors allow our members to shop from their web site and in general allow them to purchase at a discount, their products, not third-party products. Some vendors offer third party products and sale items which may not be eligible for a discount. Each brand can restrict certain items. Inventory and pricing of products is not guaranteed and can change without notice.
How do I purchase products?
Most vendors have an “e-store” link on our site whereby you are transferred to the vendor’s e-store and provided a coupon code for discounts. Please note that when using an e-store partner you are subject to their terms, including product availability, privacy, shipping, and discount eligibility. For vendors that do not have an e-store link on our site, LeoAdventures will facilitate purchases but the vendor will ship and charge your card. Please note that LeoAdventures does not stock inventory; therefore, product availability is not known nor guaranteed.
How do I return a product?
Not all items can be returned. Each manufacturer has a specific return policy. Many do not accept returns. To return a product you need to be familiar with each brand’s policy. You cannot return a product to a retailer it is a violation of the terms of membership.
I’m deployed overseas. How can I order products?
First of all, thank you for your service to our country overseas. You will need to check with the vendor regarding APO/FPO shipping and their policies in that regard.
