STAR Card users to receive extra fuel savings Published Nov. 6, 2009 SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- With the busy and expensive holiday shopping season just around the corner, Army and Air Force Exchange Service gas stations are helping to make sure that filling the gas tank doesn't empty the wallet. In addition to the five cents a gallon discount MILITARY STAR Card holders already receive when they fuel up, steeper discounts are being offered three times before the New Year. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, military shoppers using their MILITARY STAR Card can take advantage of 11 cents off per gallon of fuel. From Nov. 30 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 28 - Jan. 1, the savings soar to 20 cents per gallon for those purchasing with their MILITARY STAR Card. "These discounts couldn't come at a better time," said Mike Howard, AAFES chief operating officer. "Because the MILITARY STAR Card is an exchange product, it provides unique opportunities to deliver unprecedented savings opportunities like these to authorized drivers."
