The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has operated retail stores on military installations for over 130 years. ShopMyExchange extends that mission online — 68% of Exchange earnings go directly back to DoD morale, welfare and recreation programs.
Every product on ShopMyExchange is tax-free for eligible military shoppers. Browse our departments or use search to find exactly what you need.
TVs, laptops, gaming consoles, headphones, smart home devices, cameras. Tax-free pricing beats civilian retailers by 6-10% on average before the sales tax savings.
Brand-name apparel for the whole family. Nike, Under Armour, Levi's, Columbia. Plus military-specific sizing and tactical boots from Danner, Rocky and Belleville.
Furniture, bedding, kitchen appliances, outdoor grills, power tools. PCS moving? The Exchange ships large items to your new installation.
Skincare, supplements, fragrances, grooming essentials. Military-exclusive bundles and Exchange-only sizing on popular brands.
Fitness equipment, camping gear, fishing tackle, hunting accessories. MWR-discounted pricing on select outdoor brands.
LEGO, Hasbro, board games, outdoor playsets. Tax-free holiday shopping saves military families hundreds annually on gifts.

No annual fee, 10% first-day discount, rewards on every purchase. The only credit card built specifically for Exchange and commissary shoppers.
ShopMyExchange is not a discount store — it is a federal benefit. These advantages exist because Congress authorised them for military families.
No state sales tax. No local tax. Every item on ShopMyExchange is tax-exempt for authorised shoppers. On a $2,000 appliance, that saves $120 to $180 depending on your state. Over a military career, the cumulative savings reach tens of thousands of dollars. This is codified in 10 U.S.C. § 2481 — not a promotion that expires.
ShopMyExchange delivers to every APO, FPO and DPO address at domestic USPS rates. Stationed in Korea? Germany? Deployed to the Middle East? Same shipping cost as Fort Liberty to Fort Cavazos. Large items ship via military freight at subsidised rates. This benefit alone makes the Exchange the preferred retailer for overseas military families.
Since 2017, all honourably discharged veterans have online shopping privileges at ShopMyExchange. No military ID required — verify your status through the VA portal and start shopping. The same tax-free pricing, the same inventory, the same delivery options. Over 20 million veterans are now eligible for this benefit.
Real feedback from military families who use ShopMyExchange.
"Bought a 75-inch Samsung through ShopMyExchange. Price matched Amazon's deal, then paid zero sales tax on top. That alone saved $280 in Texas tax, plus the $60 price match. The Exchange delivered to my door at Fort Hood in 3 days. Why would I shop anywhere else?"
— SSG Michael R., Fort Cavazos TX
"Stationed at Ramstein with two kids. ShopMyExchange ships to our APO address at the same rate as stateside. Ordered school supplies, winter coats and a PlayStation — all tax-free, all arrived in 10 days. The MILITARY STAR card knocked another 10% off my first order."
— SrA Jessica T., Ramstein AB Germany
"Retired in 2008 but didn't know about the veterans online benefit until last year. Now I buy everything from the Exchange — electronics, clothes, household stuff. No sales tax in Florida is already great, but the Exchange prices on brand-name goods beat Walmart and Target consistently."
— MSG (Ret.) David K., Tampa FL
