DALLAS - To mark 120 years of support to America's service members and their families, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is giving military shoppers a chance at $25,000 in account credits with the MILITARY STAR® Because of You sweepstakes.

From July 1 to 31, military shoppers will be automatically entered in the sweepstakes each time they use their MILITARY STAR® card to pay for purchases at any Army or Air Force Exchange location or on shopmyexchange.com. Each purchase counts as one entry.

One grand-prize winner will receive a $5,000 MILITARY STAR® account credit, and 20 first-prizes winners will receive $1,000 credits. If the winners' balance is less than prize amount, the remainder will be added as a credit.

"As the Exchange celebrates 120 years of support, this sweepstakes is a way to thank service members and their families for shopping with us," said Army Col. Fabian Mendoza, Exchange command engineer. "Just by using their MILITARY STAR® card, shoppers can take home their share of $25,000."

The contest, sponsored by the Exchange Credit Program, is part of the Exchange's Because of You campaign, a yearlong effort to recognize and reward service members for their sacrifice and dedication to America

MILITARY STAR® Because of You sweepstakes winners will be announced on or about Sept. 30. This sweepstakes offer applies only to the MILITARY STAR® card Gold line of credit.
