TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Military Star is making moving to a new duty station smoother and more affordable for Travis Air Force Base, California, Airmen this summer.

From June 1 through Aug. 8, Airmen who are undergoing a permanent change of station can receive an Operation PCS Benefit Card, valid for $10 off a $100 purchase with their Military Star card at any Army and Air Force Exchange Service store or online at ShopMyExchange.com. The benefit card is valid for 90 days after the issue date, and there is no limit to the number of times it can be used.

“The Exchange understands PCSing is stressful for Airmen and their families,” said Flor Payton, Exchange general manager. “The Military Star card savings takes some of the financial burden off their shoulders and makes relocation a little easier.”

To receive the benefit card, Airmen can visit the customer service desk at the Travis AFB Exchange and present their PCS orders. The benefit card savings may not be used on fuel, gift card, uniform, Exchange restaurant, Exchange online marketplace or mall vendor purchases.

Military Star offers added values for shoppers. Last year, Military Star customers saved big with exclusive, money-saving benefits:

  • $309 million saved with one of the lowest annual percentage rates of any store credit card.
  • $33 million saved with no annual, late or over-limit fees.
  • $17 million saved through zero-interest promotional offers.

Military Star cardholders earn rewards points on purchases as well. For every dollar spent, shoppers earn two points and receive a $20 rewards card every 2,000 points. Last year, cardholders earned $27 million in rewards cards.

The Military Star card is administered by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and is accepted at all military exchanges and commissaries. For more information, visit MyECP.com.
