DALLAS \u2013 <\/b>As military shoppers load up their students\u2019 backpacks with pencils, notebooks and other back-to-school gear, MILITARY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> card users can fill up on savings at pumps at Army & Air Force Exchange Service Express locations worldwide.<\/p>\n

From Aug. 8 to Aug. 10, the Exchange is doubling the everyday 5-cents-per-gallon gas discount MILITARY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> cardholders receive when fueling up. On those three days, drivers paying for gas with their MILITARY STAR\u00ae <\/sup>card will receive 10 cents off per gallon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith back-to-school season in full swing, the MILITARY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> gas discount gives military shoppers another reason to see how the Exchange makes the grade,\u201d said Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson, the Exchange\u2019s Senior Enlisted Advisor. \u201cThe extra savings at the pump are just the beginning of the value shoppers will find at their Exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n

No matter the season, shoppers can reap the benefits of paying with their MILITARY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> card. Besides the everyday discount of 5 cents per gallon on all gas purchases, cardholders enjoy a 10 percent discount on all Exchange food court purchases year-round.<\/p>\n
