DALLAS – After an extended technical challenge, cash back at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service has returned.

Shoppers using a debit card at Exchanges can get cash back in increments of $10, $20 or $50. Cash back options at the Express, troop store and Military Clothing include $5, $10 and $20.

The cash back option was temporarily unavailable while bank card vendors worked to correct functionality and security issues associated with certain chip cards during cash back transactions. The issue, which affected several other retailers, was resolved in January.

“There’s never an ATM fee when you get cash back at the Exchange,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “We appreciate the community’s patience and are so happy to once again offer this service to the military community.”

For more information, shoppers can contact their local Exchange. For a directory of Exchange stores, visit shopmyexchange.com/exchange-stores.
