I'm not sure if this is posted somewhere already, but I surely didn't know of this.


Basically you can stop your star card payments.. or if you don't use it while deployed, you can make payments at 0% interest rate.

AAFES MILITARY STAR CARD DEPLOYMENT POLICY

Dallas - As a reminder to all those service members who may be deploying in the near future, The Army and Air Force Exchange
Service (AAFES) has an established deployment policy for its deployed credit card account holders.
The plan offers Military Star card (formerly DPP) deployed account holders a reduced interest rate and no payments for those who are deployed for at least 90 days in conjunction with a JCS deployment order.
The plan provides the Military star card deployed account holders whose account is in good standing (i.e., not in
"collection" status) two options:
1. A 6% interest rate and the ability to continue to utilize the account during the deployment period while making no payments.
OR
2. A 0% interest rate during the deployment period, while making no payments. No charges can be made against the account during the period of deployment under this option.
To take advantage of AAFES' Star card contingency deployment policy, Unit Commanders (or their representatives) must first provide AAFES a deployment listing by one of the following methods:
1. By mail: AAFES-HQ
P.O. Box 650739
Dallas, TX 75265-0739
2. By fax: DSN: 967-4326
COM: 214-312-4326
3. By Internet: Send deployment listing to deployment@aafes.com.
Upon confirmation of deployment status of service members, AAFES will automatically default to option 1 (6% interest rate
with no payments and full charge privileges during the deployment period).
If the service member chooses option 2 (0% interest with no payments and no charge privileges during deployment period), the service member must notify AAFES through one of the methods detailed above.
For additional information, service members can contact their local AAFES exchange General Manager's office.

Good to know!

I wonder if the better interest rate gets kicked off if you make payments? DH is deployed and I still make the payments but wont be using the card at all since I am not an authorized user, BUT if we could have 0% interest while still making the payments that would be awesome. Or even 0% and I can really start hiting my other CC's and pay those down quicker. hmmm either way, thanks for posting this. I will have to let DH know. Our star card payment is a huge chunk of change that could literally pay off 1 cc with 1 or 2 payments.

Thanks for posting this. I'll have DH call later... our Star Card is the biggest balance card we have right now, so it would be helpful!

I sent this to DH right now. I don't know if AAFES will let him change to deployment interest rate by email though.

Something to definitely look into.



Thanks for posting!
