For every $1 spent with MILITARY STAR, cardholders earn two points; with every 2,000 points earned, they receive a $20 rewards card. The rewards cards can be redeemed at any Army &amp; Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard exchange; online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopmyexchange.com\">ShopMyExchange.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myNavyExchange.com\">myNavyExchange.com<\/a>; and at Exchange restaurants and mall vendors.<\/p>\n<p>MILITARY STAR cardholders are not the only ones reaping rewards, as the broader military community benefits each time the card is swiped through the avoidance of costly merchant fees bank-issued credit cards create. Because military exchange earnings support the military community, the money saved in merchant fees\u2014$28.7 million in 2017\u2014is re-invested into needed installation programs and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe value of MILITARY STAR extends far beyond deals and generous terms,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Army &amp; Air Force Exchange Service\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cMILITARY STAR shoppers are putting money in their pockets while supporting vital community programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October 2017, the MILITARY STAR card\u2019s benefit grew even more as commissaries began accepting the card. Using the card at commissaries offers greater convenience to troops and families and strengthen funding for critical military Quality-of-Life programs.<\/p>\n<p>In total, MILITARY STAR generated $445 million in value in 2017. In addition to the rewards cards earned and money saved on merchant fees, other customer savings include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$309 million* from one low APR for all cardholders, regardless of credit score.<\/li>\n<li>$32.9** million due to MILITARY STAR never charging late fees.<\/li>\n<li>$17.2 million from MILITARY STAR\u2019s 0-percent-interest financing offers and never charging \u201cback interest\u201d after a promotion ends.<\/li>\n<li>$9.1 million for new cardholders taking advantage of the card\u2019s first-day discount.<\/li>\n<li>$8 million through MILITARY STAR\u2019s interest-free military clothing plan.<\/li>\n<li>$4.8 million at Exchange restaurants with the everyday 10 percent food discount.<\/li>\n<li>$4.3 million at the pump, where MILITARY STAR users save 5 cents per gallon of gas at Army &amp; Air Force Exchange locations<\/li>\n<li>$2.2 million with MILITARY STAR\u2019s reduced-interest deployment policy.<\/li>\n<li>$1.1 million on shipping on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ShopMyExchange.com\">ShopMyExchange.com<\/a>, where every purchase made with MILITARY STAR qualifies for free shipping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myecp.com\/\">MyECP.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Comparison of 11.99% vs. 25.24% (average store credit card APR). <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>**Assumes average late fee of $35. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook-friendly version: <\/strong>MILITARY STAR cardholders don\u2019t just save money, they earn it!
