Camp Zama – When Camp Zama Exchange shoppers use their MILITARY STAR® card, the benefit goes far beyond their own wallets.
Cardholders earn rewards points and enjoy everyday discounts on food and fuel, but also help make the Camp Zama community stronger. When shoppers use MILITARY STAR, the Camp Zama PX avoids costly bank transaction fees—savings that totaled $27,203 in 2021.
Worldwide, using MILITARY STAR saved Exchanges more than $20 million last year. The savings increase Exchange earnings, 100% of which are re-invested in military communities through support of critical Quality-of-Life programs and capital improvements.
In the last 10 years, the Exchange has contributed $3.5 billion to military Quality-of-Life programs, which serve military members and their families.
“Using MILITARY STAR has a positive ripple effect,” said Camp Zama PX General Manager Nick Cucinello. “Just like shopping at the Exchange, it’s a way to save money and strengthen the Camp Zama community at the same time.”
The MILITARY STAR card, available exclusively to service members, retirees, Veterans, military dependents and Department of Defense civilians, is accepted at all Army & Air Force Exchange Service, Navy Exchange Service Command, Marine Corps Exchange, Coast Guard Exchange and Defense Commissary Agency stores. Combined, these organizations saved $30.8 million in transaction fees with MILITARY STAR in 2021.
Other benefits of the card include:
10% discount on all first-day purchases for new cardholders.
10% off at participating Exchange restaurants.
5 cents off every gallon of gas at Exchange fuel locations and select Navy Exchange and Marine Corps Exchange locations.
Rewards points earned on purchases.
No late, annual or over-limit fees.
