Fort Stewart Consolidated – As the Nation celebrates the Army’s 250th birthday, the Fort Stewart Consolidated community can make a big difference with a small symbolic gift while shopping at the Exchange in June.
 
In recognition of the oldest U.S. armed service branch’s 250th birthday on June 14, authorized shoppers can make a $2.50 donation to Army Emergency Relief at Army & Air Force Exchange Service in-store registers, including self-checkout, throughout the month of June.
 
Army Emergency Relief was founded in 1942 by then-Secretary of War Henry Stimson and Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall and supports the well-being of Soldiers, retired Soldiers and Army Families by helping alleviate financial stress and promoting economic stability.
 
“Through zero-interest loans, grants, and educational scholarships, AER assists Soldiers facing financial hardship,” said retired Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael A. Grinston, AER CEO. “As the Army marks 250 years of bravery and service, AER is ‘Honoring the Past — Securing the Future’ and encouraging all Soldiers and Soldiers for Life to make a special $2.50 donation on their next visit to the Exchange.”
 
In 2024, Exchange shoppers donated more than $2.7 million to AER, the Air Force Assistance Fund and Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Since 2017, donations to all three have totaled nearly $11.8 million.
 
“Today’s modern Exchange benefit began as the Army Exchange Service,” said Tom Shull, Exchange Director/CEO. “Our connection to the U.S. Army mission, and the heroes and families that serve in its ranks, goes back nearly 130 years. We are truly honored to do our part to offer this special donation option as the Army celebrates 250 years of sacrifices, achievements and the true spirit of American warriors.”

Be vigilant! Spot scam and fraud attempts targeting: Read more

Fort Stewart Consolidated – Consumers incurred $12.5 billion in losses to scams and fraud in 2024, a significant 25% increase from the prior year, according to a March report from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Some of the most reported scams are increasingly targeting those who serve or have served.
 
Since 2020, active-duty service members, Veterans, retirees, Reservists and military family members have lost more than $780 million to scams including business and government imposters, online shopping scams along with prizes, sweepstakes and lottery fraud, the FTC reported.
 
“With the massive increase in scam and fraud attempts and the losses that come with them, it is vital for the Fort Stewart Consolidated community to stay vigilant,” Fort Stewart Consolidated Exchange General Manager Bettina Ciciriello-Frederick said. “At the Fort Stewart Consolidated Exchange, we are committed to helping authorized shoppers avoid falling prey to scammers.”
 
When interacting with the Exchange online, shoppers should ensure that they are communicating with verified Exchange profiles or email addresses. For example, the Exchange’s Free Fridays promotion provides prizes to authorized shoppers who comment on the Exchange Facebook’s promotion post each week. The winners are contacted by direct message from the official Exchange Facebook account or by email from an official socialmedia@aafes.com address.
 
Social media scam attempts totaled the highest overall reported losses in 2024 according to FTC, with $1.9 billion lost. Scams on social media can make younger shoppers especially vulnerable, with 44% of total losses last year coming from those aged 20-29.
 
Other scams that have targeted military shoppers have included offers to broker the sale of cars, motorcycles or boats through their hard-earned Exchange benefit. The Exchange does not have the authority to sell vehicles in the continental U.S. and does not advertise vehicle sales in civilian outlets such as newspapers or magazines.
 
Authorized shoppers contacted by any third-party posing as the Exchange are advised to stop the interaction and contact Exchange customer service at 800-527-2345 (CONUS), 214-312-6690 (OCONUS) or visiting the Customer Service page here.
 
“Exchange shoppers must always exercise caution to avoid being taken advantage of by scammers,” Ciciriello-Frederick said. “Shoppers taking the time to ensure they are interacting with who they think they are goes a long way in ensuring they stay safe.”

Fort Stewart Consolidated – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service continues to serve the military community at Fort Stewart Consolidated with its expanded tax-free shopping benefit to Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians.

 

In 2021, in-store and online shopping privileges were expanded to about 575,000 Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians who hold Common Access Cards in the U.S., its territories and possessions. Retired DoD and Coast Guard civilians can shop online only.

 

The tax-free shopping benefit provides access to name-brand restaurants and services; mall stores and vending; proprietary credit solutions through the MILITARY STAR® card; and national brands tax-free with military-exclusive prices.

 

Regis Nolan, a contracting officer representative for the Logistics Readiness Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, cites the benefit as an easily accessible option for shopping and dining.

 

“I shop at the Exchange all the time,” Nolan said. “It’s across the board for electronics, clothing, perishables, gardening…you name it. For civilians working on base, it’s a convenient one-stop shop. We don’t have to leave the installation to get food or snacks thanks to the food court and Express.”

 

Purchase restrictions at Exchanges apply. Shoppers can visit aafes.com/exchange-stores/patrons-merchandise/patrons.htm for details. In-store shopping privileges for active DoD and Coast Guard civilians outside of the U.S., its territories and possessions are subject to host-nation agreements.

 

“Civilians who work side by side with Soldiers, Airmen and Guardians to accomplish the mission of freedom and defense of the Nation are an important part of the military community,” said Fort Stewart Consolidated Exchange General Manager Bettina Ciciriello-Frederick. “By shopping with the Exchange, they help improve military Quality of Life as 100% of Exchange earnings are invested into their communities.”

 

DoD and Coast Guard civilians can learn more about the benefit at aafes.media/cacbenefitspa. Authorized civilian shoppers can also visit ShopMyExchange.com to create an account and shop online.

The Exchange Credit Program, which manages the MILITARY STAR card and is administered by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, has teamed up with Discover® Global Network to bring greater security, features and convenience to cardmembers. ECP will begin reissuing cards to current cardmembers in waves, with most shoppers having their new card in-hand by Veterans Day.
 
“When cardmembers receive their new card, they should activate it and destroy their previous MILITARY STAR card,” said ECP Senior Vice President Tommy Ward. “Then they can continue to enjoy the card’s savings and improved benefits.”
 
Features of the new card include:
·         EMV® chip technology for more secure transactions.
·         Digital payment options such as tap-to-pay and mobile wallet capabilities.
·         Acceptance at more on-installation merchants, including concessionaires, name-brand restaurants, food delivery services, third-party vendors, certain Morale, Welfare and Recreation activities and more.
 
The everyday savings and benefits cardmembers currently enjoy will remain unchanged:
·         5 cents off every gallon of gas at Exchange fuel locations.
·         10% off food purchases at participating Exchange restaurants.
·         Free standard shipping at ShopMyExchange.com and myNavyExchange.com.

·         No annual, late or over-limit fees.
·         Active-duty military benefits including a $1,000 interest-free Military Clothing line of credit and deployment benefits for eligible cardmembers.
 
MILITARY STAR is accepted at all in-store and online military exchanges and commissaries. While the card will use the Discover Global Network for enhanced benefits, it will remain a MILITARY STAR card—not a Discover card—specific to on-installation and online military exchange purchases.
 
Rewards exclude Military Clothing Plan. The first-day discount is dependent on the application being approved and is applied as a credit on the first monthly billing statement. For more information, see an Exchange associate or visit https://aafes.media/MilStarPA.
