DALLAS – As Soldiers, Airmen and military families around the world prepare for permanent changes of station this summer, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is easing the strain on their wallets with special offers from a new MILITARY STAR promotion.
Starting June 1, the Operation PCS Benefit Card unlocks savings for Soldiers and Airmen who reach for their MILITARY STAR cards at Army and Air Force Exchange locations worldwide. To receive the special card and get in on the savings, Soldiers and Airmen should present their orders at their local Exchange’s customer service desk.
When shoppers present the benefit card at Exchange facilities and pay with their MILITARY STAR card, they’ll receive:
- $10 off purchases of $100 or more.
- No interest or payment for six months on single transactions from $500-$999.
- No interest or payment for 12 months on single transactions of $1,000 or more.
Benefit cards are valid for 90 days once they’ve been received. Shoppers can pick up their cards through Aug. 15. The card can be used multiple times but only once per day.
“The Exchange understands the stress of PCS’ing and the toll it can take on service members and their families,” said Jami Richardson, Exchange Credit Program senior vice president. “The benefit card is the Exchange’s way of giving MILITARY STAR cardholders extra peace of mind this PCS season.”
The benefit card is also valid at shopmyexchange.com. Shoppers should call 800-527-2345 before placing an online order to redeem their savings. Shoppers can check out http://www.shopmyexchange.com/PCS for products to help during a move, information on phone and Internet hookup, links to moving checklists, special offers and more
Benefit cards savings exclude purchases for fuel, gift cards and uniforms and at the Exchange Online Mall, restaurants and concessions.

- Competitive 10.49 percent interest rate—one of the best retail rates.
- No annual, late or over-limit fees.
