Minot AFB Exchange offers fee-free holiday layaway Published Oct. 25, 2012 Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- A good program just got better as the Army & Air Force Exchange Service's Holiday Layaway program is now fee-free. Shoppers simply select their gifts for layaway and stop by customer service to complete the layaway process. "Fee-free" means that while the Minot Exchange collects an initial $3 processing fee for new layaways, that amount is returned to customers, via an Exchange Merchandise Gift Card, upon final payment and pick up their items. In addition, toy layaway will be extended through Dec. 23. Gifts are safely out of sight until final payment and pick up just before Christmas. Also, for a limited time only, Nov. 1 through Dec. 16, Minot AFB shoppers can place computers, laptops, iPads and netbooks on layaway. "The Minot AFB Exchange continues to beat the competition when it comes to selection, service and value," said Exchange's Main Store Manager, Chris Showers. "Other retailers charge as much as $15 for layaway. Our program saves shoppers money." A deposit of only 15 percent is required when starting the layaway process. See customer service for program details and eligibility. To take advantage of holiday layaway and extended layaway for toys, visit the Minot AFB Exchange today.
