Exchange Offers Fee-Free Layaway for Military Shoppers Ahead of Holiday Season

DALLAS – Military shoppers can check everything off their wish lists early with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s fee-free layaway.

The Exchange is waiving its layaway service fee of $3 on toys, bikes, computers, laptops, tablets, iPads, notebooks, smartwatches and more when layaways are paid in full and picked up by close of business on Dec. 24.

“Getting a head start on holiday shopping is easy with the Exchange’s fee-free layaway,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “Shoppers can stock up on gifts for loved ones at military-exclusive pricing, always tax-free and without the layaway service fee.”

To place items on layaway, military shoppers must pay a deposit of 15% of the purchase price. Items included in the 12 Weeks of Black Friday Deals are excluded from being placed on layaway. Shoppers can visit their local PX or BX customer service desk for more details.
