What Are Fuel Rewards/Gas Rewards?
Fuel rewards are a program that helps you save money on gas whenever you fuel at participating stations. Once you join the program, all it takes is to swipe your fuel rewards card and enter your Alt ID when fueling at the participating station. By joining these rewards programs, you could save between 5 and 25 cents/ gallon on your gas.
Some rewards programs offer discounts and other benefits on top of any rewards you can earn by paying for gas with a credit card. Other gas programs also allow you to earn rewards on dining and shopping in selected restaurants and stores. Whether you want to enjoy discounts on fuel charges or earn rewards on your dining and shopping, DoNotPay can help you to sign up for a rewards program today and start saving.
How AAFES Gas Discount Program Works
AAFES offers an effective way to lower the pain at the pump by at least 5 cents per gallon. To get started, you must have a Military Star Card. The Military Star Card is exclusively available to military personnel, veterans, and their families who have Military Exchange Access. Notably, the DoD Civilians started enjoying the Card's benefits from June 2021.
If you are a cardholder, you are automatically enrolled in the Military Star Rewards Program, where you earn 2% rewards or 2 points on each purchase. The rewards card is delivered to the email on your Military Star account once you earn 2,000 points.
