DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is making it easier for military shoppers to keep in-demand gifts hidden away until the big day by extending fee-free la\"1604\"yaway to computers, notebooks and laptops<\/a> for a limited time.<\/p>\n

Through Dec. 14, Exchange shoppers can use layaway to hold computers, notebooks, tablets and iPads\u2014items that are not typically eligible for the program. The $3 layaway fee will be waived as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cComputers, notebooks and laptops are popular gifts, and the Exchange\u2019s layaway program keeps these purchases safely tucked away from prying eyes this holiday season,\u201d said Army Col. Karen Fleming, Exchange logistics deputy director.<\/p>\n

Layaway will not be offered for computers, laptops and notebooks purchased Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 25-26. A deposit of 15 percent is required to hold items on layaway. Shoppers can visit customer service at their local Exchange for complete details.<\/p>\n
