AAFES gas stations extending discount to drivers who use a Military Star card

  • Published
Army & Air Force Exchange Service gas stations at Fort Dix and McGuire gas stations are taking Soldiers, Airmen and their families farther now that the pumps have been programmed to reflect a discount of three cents a gallon for drivers who pay with a Military Star Card.

"Anytime a customer uses a bank-issued debit or credit card, the retailer pays a portion of the transaction to a third-party financial institution," said the BX/PX General Manager Jesus Martinez. "Because the Military Star Card is administered by the Exchange Credit Program, AAFES is not subject to the additional fees incurred through other 'pay at the pump' options. As a result, we're able to pass savings on to authorized exchange shoppers."

The three-cent-a-gallon Military Star Card discount is currently being applied to transactions at the Fort Dix Shoppette, McGuire Shoppette and Monmouth Car Care Center.

The Military Star Card is accepted at all AAFES, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Exchange activities, as well as the Exchange Catalog and the Exchange Online store at www.aafes.com.

Authorized exchange shoppers can learn more about the Military Star Card by visiting the BX/PX at the Main Store Bldg. 3452 or logging on to www.aafes.com and clicking the Military Star Card icon.
