MILITARY STAR Shoppers Can Budget for Large Purchases with Pay Your Way Plans

DALLAS – As the holidays approach, MILITARY STAR® cardholders have a budget-friendly way to get through their shopping lists with Pay Your Way.

A financing program that provides fixed monthly payments at a reduced, fixed annual percentage rate of 9.99%, Pay Your Way offers three plans:

  • 36 months for purchases from $300 to $499.99
  • 36 months or 48 months for purchases from $500-$999.99
  • 36 months, 48 months or 60 months for purchases greater than $1,000

“Pay Your Way makes holiday budgeting easier,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s senior enlisted advisor. “The plans allow for more flexibility when it’s time to pick up the perfect holiday gifts for family, friends or even yourself.”

Pay Your Way is available at Army & Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps exchange main stores, as well as ShopMyExchange.com. Express and fuel locations are excluded. Shoppers can use multiple Pay Your Way plans (based on available credit).

Veterans with service-connected disabilities can use Pay Your Way as they mark their first holiday shopping season with expanded in-store exchange shopping benefits.
