MISAWA AB – Eligible Airmen at Misawa can purchase up to $1,000 in qualifying merchandise on their MILITARY STAR® Military Clothing Plan interest free, doubling the plan’s original credit limit of $500, starting Sept. 1.

The Military Clothing Plan is a special line of zero-interest credit for uniform purchases available to all active duty Soldiers, Airmen and Marines, as well as Guard and Reserve members. The limit increase, the first of its kind since 1979, will also extend the plan’s payment duration from eight to 12 months.

“Raising the Military Clothing Plan’s credit limit strengthens the MILITARY STAR card’s ability to help service members responsibly build credit while giving them greater flexibility to pay for their required uniforms,” said Misawa Exchange General Manager Kristine Cowley. “The MILITARY STAR card offers this benefit as a service to the Services, reflecting the Exchange Credit Program’s commitment to ensuring the readiness and resiliency of Warfighters across the globe.”
