DALLAS – In honor of Veterans Day, Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers can save an extra 5 percent when using their MILITARY STAR card from Nov. 6 through Nov. 8 at Army and Air Force Exchange locations and online at shopmyexchange.com.

“This extra discount is the Exchange’s way of saying ‘thank you’ to those who made the sacrifice to serve” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “With the holiday season rapidly approaching, this is also the perfect opportunity for military shoppers to get a serious jump-start on holiday shopping.”

Besides the extra savings, MILITARY STAR cardholders earn 2 points for every $1 spent. For every 2,000 points earned, shoppers automatically receive a $20 MILITARY STAR rewards card. (Items purchased on the 0 percent interest military clothing line of credit are not eligible for reward points.)

The extra 5 percent offer is valid only at Army and Air Force Exchange stores and online at shopmyexhchange.com. Online shoppers must enter the case-sensitive code star6c50e7 to receive the discount.
