Commissary Rewards Card users can now download an Android app to access and clip digital coupons.
Available free from the Google Play Store, the Commissary Rewards Android app joins the previously released iPhone and iPad app, giving commissary shoppers access to their rewards card accounts on smart phones and tablets.
“We’ve tested the Android app and received good reviews on its ability to connect rewards card users with available coupons,” Marye Carr, the Defense Commissary Agency’s rewards card manager, said in a news release. “Now with apps for both operating systems, our patrons have more flexibility on when and where they can clip coupons, review their lists of downloaded coupons and track which ones have been redeemed or expired.”
Customers can also connect to the nearest commissary via phone numbers and addresses. Similar to accessing their accounts from a desktop computer, Commissary Rewards Card users can also participate in new promotions and contests on their smart phone or tablet.
For instance, Kellogg’s is offering a “Win a Family 4th of July in Washington D.C.” promotion May 1-31 for patrons with Commissary Rewards Cards. The grand prize is a trip to Washington, D.C., with three guests to attend a Nationals’ baseball game scheduled for July 2.
Since it was unveiled in September 2012, the Commissary Rewards Card has opened up access to digital coupons redeemable in commissaries, said DeCA Sales Director Randy Chandler.
“As the military changes, so is DeCA, and the Commissary Rewards Card is a way the commissary benefit is evolving to remain relevant to our service members and their families,” Chandler said. “It’s amazing how card users can get to these electronic savings – now more than 150 coupons at a time – from either the click of a mouse or now from their own smart phones and tablets.”
From the program’s start, Commissary Rewards Card users have downloaded more than 26 million digital coupons, and commissaries have redeemed more than 3 million, for a savings of $3.6 million to patrons, according to DeCA.
