MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. --  Army and Air Force Exchange Service is known for consistently giving back to those who have served and continue to serve, and this holiday season proves to be no different. The Exchange is offering tens of thousands of dollars in prizes, just in time for the season of giving.

"There have been six winners from Team Malmstrom this year," said Mark Downs, AAEFES general manager.

The Exchange is partnering with numerous companies such as Hasbro, Nikon, Ashley Furniture and Microsoft to offer a wide variety of contests and sweepstakes. Prizes include Exchange gift cards valued up to $5,000, digital cameras, high-definition televisions, 3D Blu-ray Disc™ players, and vacations, just to name a few.

Customers can enter many of the sweepstakes and contests by visiting Malmstrom's Exchange and filling out an entry form at a drop box located near the gun counter.

For those authorized shoppers who do not have a store in their immediate area, the Exchange also offers a number of online giveaways at shopmyexchange.com. From the main page customers can click the "Online Sweepstakes" tab to view current contests and promotions, such as the "Patriot Family Game Night Contest" where shoppers could win a $3,000 Exchange gift card. Customers can also enter in "Weekly Sweepstakes" for even more chances to win.

"The Toyland sweepstakes is the current contest right now and ends Dec. 4," Downs said. "The prize includes a trip to Hollywood, a 46-inch television, a bicycle and a cozy coupe cab."
In addition to the All-Services' website, the Exchange is also offering giveaways through its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AAFES.BX.PX. Currently shoppers can share their favorite holiday tradition for a chance to win a vacation for four to Hershey Park, Pa.

However, some of the best things in life are free and select MILITARY STAR® Card members can also receive "Your Holiday Guide to Savings" by mail. The coupon book will also be available for shoppers in the store. No games, no contests and everyone wins. The coupon book offers hundreds of dollars in savings when you use the MILITARY STAR® Card, such as a free $50 Exchange gift card on purchases of $200 or more, $100 off fine jewelry and watch purchases of $500 or more, as well as a free $100 Exchange gift card with an appliance purchase of $850 or more.

Store hours will remain the same during the holiday season.
