Cashless Convention Booth
We are thrilled to welcome you once again to the VFW Store during the 2026 VFW National Convention in Reno, Nevada. To provide you the best possible experience during this busy period and allow more time to enjoy the event, we are transitioning to a cashless payment system.

Why the change?

  • Faster Checkouts: Digital payments significantly reduce transaction times, helping you avoid long lines.
  • Increased Security: A cashless environment is safer for both our staff and our members.
  • Better Accuracy: Digital records ensure your receipts are always precise and easy to track.

We will accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Please plan accordingly to ensure a seamless shopping experience.

We can't wait to see you.
