The MasterCard Club Membership card carries a credit line starting at $1,000 and has a one-of-a-kind rewards program – that’s free to all members with a MasterCard Membership card. The “cash back” rewards program offers Air Force Club Members “double bonus points” – two points for every dollar in purchases made on their club membership card in all Services activities, the Base Exchange, and the Commissary. All purchases made off base generate one point per dollar-spent. For as few as 2,500 points, members can redeem for cash ($25.00) or for gift cards to major merchants and restaurants – and outstanding value. Travel redemption options and double points for AAFES Gas purchases were added to Military free Cash Rewards in 2008.

The Proprietary card has a maximum credit limit of $500, and members charging privileges are limited to on-base at the club and other Services activities. There is no reward programs associated with the Proprietary card. Delinquent payments are reported to base personnel and Credit bureaus. Failure to pay in accordance with terms and conditions may result in garnishment of wages.

Current members wishing to change from a MasterCard to the Proprietary Card will be allowed to do so. To change, existing members must close their MasterCard accounts and reapply for the Proprietary card. Members will continue to be responsible for any debt on their closed MasterCard account. Any accumulated reward points on their MasterCard will be forfeited at time of closure.
