Dyess gas discount to increase by 60 percent

Published Aug. 11, 2009

DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is helping take the pain out of the pump by increasing discounts for drivers using a MILITARY STAR® Card.

Pumps on Dyess, previously programmed to reflect a discount of three cents per gallon, are now taking five cents off each gallon of fuel dispensed by drivers paying with a MILITARY STAR® Card.

In addition to the everyday nickel discount for MILITARY STAR® cardholders, AAFES will periodically be offering increased savings opportunities at specified times throughout the year. The first of these promotions, from Aug. 21-23, will provide 20 cents per gallon discount for Dyess drivers paying with a MILITARY STAR® Card.

"The savings opportunities are going to be unprecedented," said the exchange's General Manager Sheila Miller. "We're excited about the exclusive gas savings that MILITARY STAR® cardholders are going to see in the coming months."

Authorized exchange shoppers can learn more about the MILITARY STAR® Card by visiting the BX in building 7339 or logging on to www.aafes.com and clicking the MILITARY STAR® Card icon.
