MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- The Army & Air Force Exchange Service gas station at Mountain Home Air Force Base is taking Airmen and their families farther now that the pumps have been programmed to reflect a discount of three cents a gallon for drivers paying with a Military Star Card.

"Anytime a customer uses a bank-issued debit or credit card, the retailer pays a portion of the transaction to a third-party financial institution," said David Crain, Mountain Home AFB BX general manager. "Because the Military Star Card is administered by the Exchange Credit Program, AAFES is not subject to the additional fees incurred through other 'pay at the pump' options. As a result, we're able to pass these savings on to authorized exchange shoppers."

The three-cent-a-gallon Military Star Card discount is currently being applied to transactions at the AAFES Car Care Center and Shoppette at Bldg. 6200.

The Military Star Card is accepted at all AAFES, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Exchange activities, as well as the Exchange Catalog and the Exchange Online store at www.aafes.com.

Authorized exchange shoppers can learn more about the Military Star Card by visiting the BX at Bldg 2700 or logging on to www.aafes.com and clicking the Military Star Card icon.
