Army & Air Force Exchange Service Brings Back Fee-Free Layaway for the Holidays
DALLAS – As the holidays draw closer, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is bringing back its fee-free layaway program, ensuring military shoppers have plenty of time to pay for gifts while keeping them safely out of sight.
Starting Sept. 12, the Exchange will waive the $3 service fee for items that are placed on layaway and paid for by Dec. 24. Purchases of $25 or more are eligible for the layaway plan.
“The Exchange’s layaway program is a great choice for shoppers looking to manage their budgets during the holidays,” said Exchange Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. “By waiving the service fee, the Exchange makes it easy to keep gifts hidden from loved ones who can’t resist snooping.”
A deposit of 15 percent is required to hold items on layaway at the Exchange. Shoppers can visit customer service for complete program details and eligibility information.
