NEX Introduces Military Star Card Uniform Payment Plan for CPO Selects

by Kristine M. Sturkie, Navy Exchange Service Command Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va (NNS) -- Navy Exchange (NEX) announced the establishment of a Chief Petty Officer (CPO) (Select) Uniform Payment Plan through the Military Star® Card to allow CPO selectees to charge their new uniforms to their Military Star Card July 21.

CPO selectees will have an additional deferred payment plan option when purchasing new uniforms at their NEX. NEX created the plan so CPO selectees could charge new uniforms to their Military Star® Card. The payment plan can only be used at NEX Uniform Stores.

"We were looking for a way to make purchasing new chief uniforms easier for our CPO selectees," said Capt. Ed Spillman, Navy Exchange Service Command deputy commander, Military Services.

"With the creation of the Military Star® Card CPO (Select) Uniform Payment Plan, CPO selectees can walk up to the cash register with their uniform purchases and charge them just like they would anything else in the NEX," Spillman said. "It's quick and easy and eliminates the need for the CPO selectee to fill out paperwork."

The new plan provides zero percent interest for 12 months with no minimum purchase amount. Minimum monthly payments are required. Customers who open a Military Star® Card account will receive 10 percent off their first day's purchases, including a uniform purchase. The discount is applied to the customer's card statement.
