Camp Zama – It’s not just the tax-free savings and military-exclusive pricing that are boosting Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers’ wallets—the Exchange worldwide also gave away more than $600,000 in prizes in 2023.
The Exchange hosts frequent sweepstakes and giveaways, available exclusively to the military community. Prizes awarded last year include shopping sprees, jewelry, gift cards, cash, gaming consoles, trending products and even a customized 2023 Jeep Rubicon.
Sweepstakes are offered throughout the year for all authorized shoppers, including honorably discharged Veterans and DoD and Coast Guard civilians. Shoppers 18 years and older can visit ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes to view and enter current sweepstakes.
Shoppers can also enter to win popular products every week by commenting on the Free Fridays post on Exchange’s corporate Facebook page at Facebook.com/shopmyexchange. MILITARY STAR® cardmembers automatically enter certain sweepstakes by using their cards, including the Home for the Holidays sweepstakes and Your Holiday Bill Is on Us sweepstakes.
Camp Zama kids can win, too. The Exchange celebrates military students’ academic achievement with biannual drawings through the You Made the Grade program. Students in first through 12th grades who maintain a B average can bring their report cards each grading period to the PX for a $10 or $20 gift card. They can also enter the worldwide sweepstakes for a chance to win a share of $4,000 in prizes each semester.
“It’s a privilege for the Exchange to give back to our service members, retirees and military families who give so much to their country,” said Camp Zama PX General Manager Nick Cucinello. “A Camp Zama community member might be the next winner.”
