AF officials launch FSS gift card program Published July 15, 2011 By Airman 1st Class Katrina Heikkinen 341st Missile Wing Public Affairs MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. -- Air Force Services Agency officials said the joy of giving will be a little easier after the launch of an Air Force-wide gift card program. Installations worldwide now provide Force Support Squadron gift cards available for use throughout all FSS activities. Officials said the cards are simple to purchase and easy to use, giving Air Force Global Strike Command members special purchasing power. "The overwhelming benefit of the new gift card is the convenience," said Frank Black, AFSVA chief of community programs. "It takes the worry out of what to give someone for a special occasion. The card can also be used for any FSS activities offered, from lunch at the bowling center to white water rafting." The gift cards are sold at many FSS point of sale outlets including the Grizzly Bend club, the commissary, bowling center, outdoor recreation and the fitness center. The patrons decide how much to load on the card, from $5 to $1,500. The cards are reloadable regardless of balance and can be checked anytime online at www.myfssgiftcard.com. "Patrons will also be glad to know the FSS gift card never expires, and penalty fees are never assessed," said Fred McKenney, AFSVA food and beverage division chief. "That means people can take as much time as they want to use the card." FSS gift cards are standardized so they can be used at any installation. Officials said the gift card program is easier to manage than coupons and FSS bucks. Additionally, the cards are more durable than paper coupons and can be swiped like a credit card. "Gift cards will draw new customers and encourage repeat business for FSS activities," said 341st FSS Resource Management Flight Chief, David Douglas.
