Army & Air Force Exchange Service spreads good cheer to Camp Zama shoppers with fee-free layaway for the holidays

Camp Zama – Soldiers at Camp Zama can get a head start on holiday shopping with help from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s fee-free layaway.

From Sept. 1 through Dec. 24, the Exchange will waive its $3 service fee for items priced at $25 or more. Toys, bikes, clothing and more are eligible. This year, select computers, laptops and tablets are eligible for layaway if they are purchased from Sept. 1 to Dec. 13.

Veterans with service-connected disabilities can use fee-free layaway, too, as they mark their first holiday shopping season with the expanded shopping privilege.

“The holiday season is a time of great joy, and the Exchange’s fee-free layaway is a terrific budgeting tool for Soldiers and military families,” said Camp Zama General Manager Eileen Al-Sayed. “Layaway also is a great way to keep those gifts hidden from prying eyes.”

Layaways require a $15 deposit toward the purchase price and items must be picked up by Dec. 24 or Dec. 13 for computers or tablets.
