MILITARY STAR Offers No-Interest Financing, Extra Savings on Back-To-School Essentials

DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service and the MILITARY STAR® card are helping shoppers save on back-to-school essentials throughout August with 0% interest deals and extra savings on clothing. 

From Aug. 11 through Aug. 24, shoppers who spend between $99 and $198 will receive three months no interest and no payment due on clothing, footwear and backpacks* (in-store only). Shoppers who spend more than $199 will receive the same promotion for six months** (in-store and online). 

Shoppers can also take advantage of two weeks of extra savings. From Aug. 18-24, shoppers will earn an additional 10% off military-exclusive pricing on children’s clothing when using MILITARY STAR. 

“As military communities gear up for the new school year, the MILITARY STAR card is a good tool to help shoppers save,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “Helping service members and their families’ dollars go further is a valuable benefit the Exchange provides to service members and their families.” 

Shoppers who use their MILITARY STAR card and shop the Exchange not only save but also give back, as 100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in military communities. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has provided $3.5 billion in earnings for critical on-installation Quality-of-Life programs that make life better for service members and families.
