Military Star® Card Gas Discount to Increase by 60 Percent Published July 28, 2009 By Chris Ward Army & Air Force Exchange Service Corporate Communications DALLAS -- Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) gas stations worldwide are helping take the pain out of the pump by increasing discounts for drivers using a Military Star® Card. Beginning August 8, pumps currently programmed to reflect a discount of three cents a gallon for drivers who pay with a Military Star® Card will jump to five cents a gallon. In addition to the everyday nickel discount, AAFES will periodically be offering increased savings opportunities at specified times throughout the year. The first of these promotions, from Aug. 21-23, will provide a 20 cents per gallon discount, up to 20 gallons, for drivers paying with a Military Star® Card. "The savings opportunities are going to be unprecedented," said AAFES' Chief Operating Officer Mike Howard. "I'm excited about the exclusive gas savings we're going to offer Military Star® cardholders in the coming months."
