SIX PERCENT INTEREST ON A CREDIT CARD?

Another reason to shop with AAFES.

Deployed servicemembers are being offered lower interest rates by the Military Star Credit Card Program.

Members whose accounts are in good standing have two options:

• A 6 percent interest rate with no monthly payments and use of the account during deployment. Family members can also use the account under the same terms.

• A zero percent interest rate with no monthly payments during deployment. Under this option the card holder cannot use the account for additional purchases.

Military Star Card holders who are deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom can contact an Army and Air Force Exchange store manager downrange to apply for the program, according to AAFES spokeswoman Jeanne McDonald.
