Guess How Many MILITARY STAR Card Rewards Commissary Shoppers Have Earned

$1.4 million, that’s how much!

Expanding the Exchange Credit Program’s MILITARY STAR_® card to all 237 commissaries around the world have netted 197,000 grocery shoppers with that big bundle of rewards since the Defense Commissary Agency began accepting the card this past October.

The MILITARY STAR’s rewards program offers cardholders a 2 percent return on purchases, earning a $20 rewards card for every $1,000 spent.

“Expanding acceptance of the MILITARY STAR card to the commissary creates additional benefits for military shoppers,” said Jami Richardson, the Exchange Credit Program’s senior vice president. “The MILITARY STAR card now works even harder to support service members and military families.”

Exchange store associates are urged to tell all customers that the commissaries are now accepting the cards, which come with plenty of benefits, such as:

• The lowest APR (11.74 percent) of any retail-issued credit card, no matter the cardholder’s credit score
• No annual, late or over-limit fees
• 10 percent discount on first day’s purchase

Since 2000, the Exchange has administered the MILITARY STAR program for all military exchanges.
