About the Card

Use Your Military Star Card at Shades of Green

The Military Star credit card program offers affordable and responsible credit solutions to the military community. The Army & Air Force Exchange Service operates the Military Star program on behalf of the military resale community. The Military Star Card is offered by the Exchange Credit Program.

The Military Star Card does not charge merchant fees to the military resale community, saving the exchanges more than $28 million in costly merchant and bank fees in 2020. Not charging merchant fees allows the Exchange to contribute additional funds to critical military Quality-of-Life programs, such as Child, Youth and School Services; Armed Forces Recreation Centers; and other programs to support troops and their families.

About the Exchange: Since 1895, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) has gone where Soldiers, Airmen and their families go to improve the quality of their lives by providing valued goods and services at exclusive military pricing. The Exchange is the 56th-largest retailer in the United States. Its earnings provided $2.4 billion in dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs over the last 10 years. The Exchange is a non-appropriated fund entity of the Department of Defense and is directed by a Board of Directors.

        Thanks! I didn’t even know about the Military Star card until I read about it on your site. I got one and saved $102 on the price of our park tickets!

      No. All the restaurants at the Shades of Green no longer accept the Military Star Card for payment. I was there for a week starting September 2, 2018. I was told by SOG reservations when I booked in May 2018 that the card could be used in all restaurants. The change happened some time after that. The restaurants told me they changed their billing systems and could no longer accept the card. So, if like me, you were planning to charge your families restaurant charges on your card, be prepared to pay with another credit card, debit card or cash.

    At at the Garden Gallery tonight. Specifically asked before being seated if they accepted the Military Star card. We were told they did. They don’t. Server said they haven’t accepted it in years, and the host should have known better than to tell us that they did. I wouldn’t have eaten there had I known that. I didn’t want to pay with my bank debit/credit card, but that’s all I had on me besides the Military Star card.

    My Husband and I are going to WDW at the end of January. We are staying at SOG for the first time and we are planning on paying for our room with the Military Star Card. Can we also link this card to our room for resort charges and to our Magic Bands for in park purchases?

      Hi Landry,

      You can make charges to your room at Shades of Green locations and pay your bill with the Star Card.

      Magic Band purchases are only for those staying at a Disney Resort.

    I’m confused which star card you can pay your hotel fees with. I have a generic aafes star card, I know there is another one out there that is more a credit card you can use pretty much everywhere Mastercard is excepted. I’m guessing they don’t except the OG

      Hi Stacy,

      I totally didn’t know there were 2 kinds. I’ve never got one.

      But it’s the standard card.
