DALLAS – The expansion of the Exchange Credit Program’s MILITARY STAR® card to all Department of Defense commissaries is proving to be rewarding for service members and their families.
The MILITARY STAR card offers a robust rewards program in which cardholders get a 2 percent return on purchases, earning a $20 rewards card for every $1,000 spent. Since the Defense Commissary Agency began accepting the card late last year, more than 197,000 military shoppers have earned $1.4 million in rewards.
“Expanding acceptance of the MILITARY STAR card to the commissary creates additional benefits for military shoppers,” said Jami Richardson, Exchange Credit Program senior vice president. “The MILITARY STAR card now works even harder to support service members and military families.”
Authorized exchange and commissary shoppers enjoy a host of benefits when using the MILITARY STAR card, including:
- The lowest APR (11.74 percent) of any retail-issued credit card, no matter the cardholder’s credit score
- No annual, late or over-limit fees
- 10 percent discount on first day’s purchase
The MILITARY STAR card is administered by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. For more information, visit MyECP.com.
