DALLAS – Authorized patrons looking to decrease their own personal debt ceiling can take part in the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s latest stimulus package by entering for a chance to win one of 15 $1,000 gift cards.

The giveaway, in partnership with Unilever, runs now through July 15. All eligible shoppers, including National Guard, Reserve, retirees and active duty personnel, can enter to win by simply filling out an entry form at their local Exchange.

“With the price matching and tax free savings the Exchange offers, a $1,000 gift card could make for a terrific debt-reduction deal,” said the Exchange’s Senior Listed Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Jeffry Helm. “Considering the Exchange has everything from dog food to diapers, winners can use their card for everything they need while giving their bank account a bit of a vacation.”

The Exchange’s Unilever gift card giveaway drawing will take place on or about August 24.
