DALLAS – Anyone can send a little holiday cheer to Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines or Veterans this year by purchasing them an Exchange gift card. The gift cards can be redeemed at Exchanges in all 50 states and more than 30 countries, including contingency locations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Service members can use Exchange gift cards to purchase snacks, electronics, books, clothing, jewelry and more at any Army, Air Force, Navy or Marine Corps exchange. And now, with the launch of the Veterans online shopping benefit in November, honorably discharged Veterans can redeem gift cards online.
“Purchasing an Army & Air Force Exchange Service gift card for service members and Veterans is a great way to remind them that they are valued by those they serve, and served, to protect,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “It only takes a minute and allows them to get exactly what they need to make the holidays brighter.”
While only authorized military shoppers can redeem Exchange gift cards, anyone can send one by calling 800-527-2345 or visiting ShopMyExchange.com and clicking “Purchase Gift and Phone Cards” at the bottom of the page.
From there, Exchange gift cards, ranging in values from $10 to $500, can be addressed to a specific Soldier, Airman, Sailor, Marine or Veteran.
