"Facilities worldwide
AAFES operates more than 3,100 facilities worldwide, in more than 30 countries, five U.S. territories and 49 states. AAFES operates some 160 retail stores and 2,008 fast food restaurants, such as Taco Bell, Burger King, Popeyes and Cinnabon. AAFES also provides military communities with convenience, specialty stores and movie theaters on installations worldwide, including locations in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom."

160 "retail" stores--these are the Main Exchange, the 'WalMart' on base if you will (but usually better quality). Most of the "facilities" are fast food outlets. The Convenience Stores-their version of 7-11. Specialty Stores include their liquor stores, furniture stores, barber shops, beauty parlors, Optometry shops, Gift stores, Gas stations, etc.

While AAFES is a good thing, it really won't "compete" with CC as far as exposure to a large number of potential customers goes. Lots of little things add up - so they're all good, but let's try to keep things in perspective. AAFES is a small piece of the large puzzle.

I very seldom use my STAR card, usually only if it gets me some special deal on sale with an added bonus for using it. It may be a plus for the more junior folks with limited credit options, but they may not make very good long term customers.

Much ado...
