Numeric and date register
| Number/date | Claim | Source and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | Everyday local military discount | Floyd's Ace; active/retired military with ID; no sale items, other coupons or previous purchases; page metadata 2019-09-12 is a page date, not an offer start; expiry unknown. |
| 10% | Local military discount | Standard 5&10 Ace; base, proof, restrictions and expiry not stated; footer ©2026 is not a policy date. |
| 10% | Any-purchase local statement | Ace Burley-Rupert; current/former military wording; detailed limits and expiry not stated; footer ©2010-2026 is not a policy date. |
| 10 points for nearly every $1; 2,500 points=$5; double points | Burley-Rupert reward units | Ace Burley-Rupert; qualifying-item, expiry, redemption and stacking rules are not fully stated. |
| 4% nominal future reward value | Derived from 20 points/$1 and 2,500 points=$5 | (20 ÷ 2500) × $5 = $0.04 per $1; applies only if qualifying military spend earns double points; not same-day cash discount and not a guaranteed 10%+4% stack. |
| 10% or points multiplier | Sampled local outcomes | The Military Wallet; article updated 2026-09-14; secondary evidence, not a national rate. |
| 10% | Most participating stores, generally most non-sale items | Operation Military Kids; updated 2026-03-26, published 2024-06-18; secondary report with local variation. |
| 0.10 / 0.90 | Derived formula for a confirmed 10% store offer | If E is the store-confirmed eligible subtotal: savings = 0.10 × E and post-discount subtotal = 0.90 × E. No price is assumed. |
Google sample boundary
The observed Google sample contained ten distinct organic URLs. Two ranked page bodies were readable and both were secondary articles describing local variation. Eight original pages were blocked, errored, or exposed only a social-media shell, so their snippets cannot establish a rate, base, restriction, expiry or absence of an offer. The complete URL-by-URL record preserves each original URL, including both Groupon tracking variants, in the audit evidence.
