Aafes Match It Program: Update:

[Manchu34]

In addition to competitively low prices and sales tax free purchases, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) has recently improved their “We’ll Match It!” price matching program. Now authorized shoppers who find a lower price at a “warehouse club” store can obtain the same price at their local PX or BX. If the difference is less than $10 the cashier is authorized to match the price on the spot. If the difference exceeds $10 the competitor’s ad must accompany the request. The “We’ll Match It!” policy applies to all AAFES retail stores including main stores, Shoppettes, Class Six, Car Care and troop stores. This is an enhancement to the AAFES policy that matches local competitor’s prices on identical items. In addition, AAFES offers a thirty day price guarantee on any item originally purchased from AAFES and subsequently sold at a lower price by AAFES or another local competitor. The program does have some exceptions, AAFES does not price match website or catalog prices. Special offers, promotions, free-with-purchase offers, limited quantity offers, bundled promotions, special financing, “gimmick” promotions, special order automotive parts, gasoline, automotive labor/ service, double and triple coupons, clearance items, flat percentage off items and vending items are excluded. This program is only available in CONUS locations. Complete details concerning the price matching program are available online at aafes.com. Purchases from the Exchange generate funds for MWR programs. In the past 10 years, AAFES contributed more than $2.4 billion to Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy MWR programs. These funds are used in support of Youth Services, Armed Forces Recreation Centers, post functions and other quality of life initiatives enjoyed by military families on installations across the globe.
