Yokota Air Base — MILITARY STAR® is bringing extra holiday cheer to military families, giving cardmembers a chance to win a share of $36,000 in cash and Exchange gift cards through its ninth-annual Home for the Holidays sweepstakes.
Six grand prize winners—one from each branch of service—will each receive a $5,000 check. For the first time, an additional 12 winners, two from each branch of service, will each receive a $500 Exchange gift card.
Cardmembers will be automatically entered when they use their MILITARY STAR card twice at the Yokota Exchange (in-store or on ShopMyExchange.com) or participating Yokota Morale, Welfare and Recreation or Force Support Squadron facilities and twice at the commissary between Sept. 1 to Sept. 30.
“The Home for the Holidays sweepstakes allows MILITARY STAR to help the holiday season brighter for military families, who give up so much throughout the year,” said Yokota General ManagerChris Woods. “Cardmembers can turn a routine shopping trip or outing into an opportunity that makes a real difference during the holidays.”
