DALLAS – Exchange shoppers can fall into extra savings at exchanges and commissaries when they open and use a new MILITARY STAR® account.
From Oct. 15 to 28, new cardholders will receive 15% savings on purchases made the first day, an increase from the regular 10% discount for new cardholders. The savings will appear as a credit on the first monthly billing statement.
“This limited-time discount is one more way the MILITARY STAR card helps shoppers save,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s senior enlisted advisor. “The card benefits extend past the first day with everyday savings on food and fuel, as well as financing offers and discounts throughout the year.”
The 15% discount applies to purchases made everywhere the MILITARY STAR card is accepted, all exchanges, commissaries, online at ShopMyExchange.com, myNavyExchange.com and ShopCGX.com and more. All honorably discharged Veterans who have confirmed their eligibility to shop at ShopMyExchange.com can use their MILITARY STAR card discount shopping the Exchange online.
Cardholders earn 2% in rewards points on their MILITARY STAR purchases—including at commissaries—and receive a $20 reward every 2,000 points. (Rewards exclude Military Clothing.)
Other benefits of the MILITARY STAR card include:
- Free shipping on all ShopMyExchange.com and MyNavyExchange.com orders.
- 5 cents off every gallon of gas at Exchange and participating MCX and NEX fuel locations.
- 10% off all Exchange restaurant purchases.
- The lowest flat-rate APR (10.24%) among store cards—rate is offered to all cardholders upon account approval.
- No annual, late or over-limit fees.
- Reduced-interest deployment plan with no payments required for eligible customers.
100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in the military community, including funding for critical on-installation Quality-of-Life programs. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has contributed $2.1 billion to these programs. When shoppers use the MILITARY STAR card, the Exchange also saves on credit card transaction fees—savings that add up to millions of dollars a year—which allows the Exchange to better support Warfighters and their families.
The MILITARY STAR card is administered by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and is accepted at all military exchanges and commissaries. For more information, visit MyECP.com.
