MISAWA AB – MILITARY STAR® cardmembers know about the exclusive savings, discounts and benefits they receive—but they also help give back to the military community.
When shoppers use MILITARY STAR, the Misawa Exchange avoids costly bank transaction fees that can add up. Last year, the savings to the Misawa Exchange totaled $59,000.
The Exchange worldwide saved nearly $21 million in transaction fees in 2022, thanks to MILITARY STAR shoppers. The Exchange re-invests 100% of earnings to strengthen vital military Quality-of-Life support. Transaction fee savings is a force multiplier for the hard-earned benefits of service members and their families.
Exchange shoppers worldwide generated $214 million in 2022 for Quality-of-Life programs, part of the $3.5 billion in earnings the Exchange has generated in the last 10 years, improving the lives of Soldiers, Airmen, Guardians and their families.
“Whenever shoppers use their MILITARY STAR card, they get the individual benefits, as well as the benefit of helping the Misawa community,” said Misawa BX General Manager Michickia Carter. “The positive effect of MILITARY STAR goes beyond personal savings to make a difference for all who serve and have served.”
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.
