Shoppers can eat healthy, save on Salad Wednesdays
The Wright-Patterson community can save money while making healthy eating choices every Wednesday at Army & Air Force Exchange Service restaurants.
Exchange diners save $2 on all salads priced $4 or more each Wednesday at any Exchange direct-operated restaurant. Diners can save an additional 10% when using their MILITARY STAR card.
Participating Wright-Patterson Exchange restaurants include:
· Burger King
· Charley’s Philly Steaks
· Subway
“The Exchange is committed to helping the Wright-Patterson community stay fit to fight,” said Chan. “Saving with Salad Wednesdays makes it easier to choose better-for-you options.
“The Exchange is a partner in the Air Force Smart Fueling initiative. All Exchange restaurants offer better-for-you menu choices to support Warfighters’ readiness and resiliency.”
Healthy dining choices are part of the Exchange’s BE FIT program, which takes a holistic approach to the military community’s well-being, including offering fitness equipment and gear, wellness services, live virtual workouts and more. Visit ShopMyExchange.com/befit for more information.
New MILITARY STAR accounts receive 15% off
Spring is almost here, and savings are blooming at the Wright-Patterson BX. Airmen and military shoppers who open and use a new MILITARY STAR account from March 12 to 25 will receive 15% off on all first-day purchases, instead of the regular 10%. The discount will appear as a credit on the first monthly billing statement.
Cardholders earn 2% in rewards points on their MILITARY STAR purchases – including at the commissary and Exchange mall vendors – and receive a $20 rewards card every 2,000 points. Rewards exclude military clothing.
Other benefits of the MILITARY STAR card include:
- Free shipping on all ShopMyExchange.com and MyNavyExchange.com orders;
- 5 cents off every gallon of fuel at Exchange fuel locations;
- 10% off all Exchange restaurant purchases;
- The lowest flat-rate APR (10.24%) among store cards; rate is offered to all cardholders upon account approval;
- No annual, late or over-limit fees;
- Reduced-interest deployment plan with no payments required for eligible customers.
“It matters where you shop, and it matters what payment you use,” said Chan. “Shopping the Wright-Patterson BX puts money back into the community, and using the MILITARY STAR card helps shoppers save money, too.”
A 100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in the military community, including through funding for critical on-installation quality-of-life programs. When shoppers use the MILITARY STAR card, the Exchange also saves on transaction fees – savings that add up to millions of dollars a year – which allows the Exchange to better support warfighters and their families.
New accountholders will receive the 15% discount on all first-day purchases at military exchanges and commissaries, as well as online at ShopMyExchange.com, myNavyExchange.com and ShopCGX.com.
