DALLAS – ’Tis the season for making holiday wishes come true, and MILITARY STAR® is turning holiday shopping into holiday prizes for the military community.

From Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, every time shoppers use their MILITARY STAR card, they’ll automatically earn an entry into the ninth annual Your Holiday Bill Is on Us sweepstakes for a chance to have their holiday bill paid off or other great prizes.

Five grand-prize winners will have their entire MILITARY STAR card balance paid in full through a statement credit. (Grand-prize winners whose balances do not meet the minimum prize of $2,500 will receive a statement credit for the difference.) Ten second-place winners will receive $1,000 statement credits and 25 third-place winners will receive $500 statement credits.

“Service members and families who use MILITARY STAR for their holiday shopping at exchanges and the commissary can earn unlimited entries into this fantastic sweepstakes,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, senior enlisted advisor for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. “And that’s on top of earning rewards points on purchases and enjoying exclusive cardholder savings.”

Since the sweepstakes began in 2014, MILITARY STAR has paid off more than $320,000 in bills for military heroes.

Authorized shoppers can use their MILITARY STAR card at any military exchange, commissary, ShopMyExchange.com, myNavyExchange.com, ShopCGX.com, Armed Forced Recreation Centers, Exchange mall vendor and more.
