    DALLAS – The Exchange Credit Program is reminding MILITARY STAR® cardmembers to activate their new cards as soon possible (https://flic.kr/p/2qSWEUo). All “old” Statue of Liberty cards will be deactivated May 1.

    New cards with an EMV chip and enhanced security features were issued in the fall.

    The MILITARY STAR card delivers more than $470 million in annual value through its industry-leading low flat APR; rewards program; discounts; Military Clothing plan; deployment benefits; financing promotions; and no annual, late or over-limit fees.

    The MILITARY STAR savings continue year-round with special offers and everyday discounts such as:

    • 5 cents off every gallon of fuel at Army & Air Force Exchange Service, Navy Exchange and Marine Corps Exchange gas stations.
    • 10% off food purchases at participating Exchange restaurants.
    • Free standard shipping on online orders.

    Deactivated cards should be cut up and disposed of. Cardmembers who have not received a new card, should contact the MILITARY STAR Contact Center (https://www.myecp.com/HtmlPages/ContactUs).

    The MILITARY STAR card is administered by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. For more information or to apply for a MILITARY STAR card, see an Exchange associate or visit https://aafes.media/milstarpa.
