To Mark 120 Years, Exchange Doubles Gas Savings July 24-26 for MILITARY STAR® cardholders

DALLAS – In honor of its 120th anniversary, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is pumping up gas savings by doubling the discount for MILITARY STAR® cardholders.

From July 24 to July 26, drivers fueling up with a MILITARY STAR® card at Army and Air Force gas stations will receive 10 cents off per gallon instead of the everyday 5-cents-per-gallon discount.

“The extra savings are a part of the Exchange’s celebration of its 120 years of service to Soldiers, Airmen and their families,” said Army Col. Erik Torring, Exchange staff veterinarian. “The extra discount at the pump is just one of the many special promotions we will have to coincide with the anniversary.”

Every day, shoppers can reap the benefits of paying with their MILITARY STAR® card. Besides the typical discount of 5 cents per gallon on all gas purchases, cardholders enjoy a 10 percent discount on all Exchange food court purchases year-round.
