Exchange ‘Buddies’ Receive Exclusive Offers

DALLAS – Facebook, Twitter and even your inbox. The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making it easier than ever for shoppers to exercise their Exchange benefit via the Internet.

The Exchange’s Buddy List enables military shoppers to be among the first to find out about exclusive savings, promotions, events and special offers at their local Exchange.

“We’re bringing the deals directly to you,” said the Exchange’s Chief of Staff Col. Tom Ockenfels. “It’s as simple as signing up and receiving emails that are chock-full of exclusive offers. And the Exchange assures that all emails will remain private and not be shared or sold to anyone else.”

The weekly Buddy List delivers emails about worldwide and local promotions to approximately 233,000 authorized Exchange shoppers. Customers interested in receiving these messages can sign up at their local Exchange or online at www.shopmyexchange.com/ExchangeStores/buddy.htm.
