"For the first time ever, save 20% on your first day's purchases when you open a new military star account." (no exclusions)

I received 15% off a laptop when I opened my Military Star card last year, so I think 20% off is excellent for big purchases like TVs, computers, or furniture, especially since there's no tax.

I've heard you can close the account after a few months, open a new one, and receive the new account bonus again, but I didn't bother.

Edit: found it on shop my exchange in the ads on homepage. 20% off works anywhere the card is accepted (on base and military sites only, really), and discount will be applied as a credit on the customer's first monthly billing statement.

It literally says 20% off your first day's purchase.

Military Star is a no brainer. You get free shipping with it, it also gets you that 20% on your first purchase
which is huge if you need a TV, A sound system, etc. It also gives you 2 cents in the dollar rewards, and 4 cents at the Holidays. I've saved so much money having this card.

The 20% discount is really the only thing in play here. I have three credit cards that pay 2% or more that I can use on AAFES, so the 2% discount for the Star Card is a non-issue.

EDIT: Also, this card was designed for people with no or poor credit. AAFES can go directly to DFAS and get their money if you use the Star Card and don't pay.

is the spouse hack still valid? (signing spouse up separately for a card gives them access to the first day purchase discount).

i live near a resv base that recently had the px shut down, i hated getting those GCs because i could never use them since our store sucked balls with inventory.

also fyi the px price matches. I picked up some hella heavily discounted electronics doing this.

Yeah, marketing will literally say anything to get you to bite. Is there a time period in which the 1st purchase must be made...

Sorry I am having a hard time understanding, so everything you buy in that first day is 20% off? Or just your first purchase?
