RAMSTEIN AB – Military shoppers at the KMCC Exchange can get a jump on their holiday shopping with an extra discount on first-day purchases with a new MILITARY STAR card through the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.

Shoppers who use a new card for the first time from Oct. 28 to Nov. 10 will receive a 15-percent discount on all purchases instead of the standard 10-percent discount that is regularly offered.

The discount is valid in-store at KMCC Exchange facilities and online at shopmyexchange.com and can be combined with other promotions. The discount will appear as a credit on shoppers’ first billing statements.

Each time cardholders make a purchase with their MILITARY STAR cards, they earn points as part of a rewards program. Cardholders earn two points for every $1 spent in Exchange stores, food courts, mall vendors and on shopmyexchange.com. Shoppers automatically receive a $20 MILITARY STAR Rewards Card for every 2,000 points earned. The card can be redeemed anywhere Exchange gift cards are accepted.

Other benefits of the card include:

• Competitive interest rate of 10.49 percent – an industry-leading interest rate.• No annual, late or over-limit fees.• 10 percent off Exchange food court purchases.• 5-cents-per-gallon savings at Exchange gas stations.• Free standard shipping at shopmyexchange.com.

To apply for a MILITARY STAR card, authorized shoppers can visit the KMCC Exchange or log on to www.MyECP.com.
