eReceipts a hit with
military shoppers
From the Army & Air Force Exchange Service
DALLAS — Since its launch two years
ago, approximately 334,000 military
shoppers who prefer the ease and organi-
zation that an electronic receipt provides
have skipped the paper and had docu-
mentation of their transaction emailed
to them when shopping at the Exchange.
From July 24 to Aug. 28, shoppers who
enroll to receive electronic receipts and
opt-in to receive special email offers
from the Exchange will be automati-
cally entered in the “Get Your Purchase
Free” contest in which the Exchange will
pay receipts up to $400 for five winners.
Shoppers can go to www.shopmyex-

“Receiving sales receipts by email makes
storing and organizing much easier,”
said U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt.
Sean Applegate, the Army & Air Force
Exchange Service’s senior enlisted advis-
er. “An additional benefit to an emailed
electronic receipt is that it helps reduce
paper consumption, which is better for
the environment.”
Registration for an electronic receipt is
as easy as providing an email address
and phone number at checkout.
