About OPRA

OPRA - Operative Discount - is a closed community benefit program for military personnel, first responders, civil defence, rescue services and veterans.

OPRA works together with supporting businesses to increase the recognition of citizens who take high personal risk to protect society and fellow citizens. Established in 2020 by operatives, for operatives.

Our mission

  • Establish a culture that recognizes high risk efforts for our societies.
  • Contribute to increased recruitment in operative professions and voluntary rescue services.
  • Recognize exceptional role models through the OPRA gratitude fund.

Free access

Our team politely asks for patience while working on more supporting businesses. Please share and help our community grow.

How does it work?

The discounts are given through separate agreements for OPRA on the logged-in website or app. When shopping in a physical store, show OPRA ID found on the profile page.
