    FORT LEE, Va. – Customers looking to save even more than the usual 30 percent on their groceries can reach for their personal plastic: The Commissary Rewards Card.

    The Defense Commissary Agency’s digital coupon redemption system allows commissary patrons to access and clip coupons and store them on their card to be scanned at the store.

    “More and more customers are using the Commissary Rewards Card,” said Marye Carr, DeCA’s Rewards Card manager. “The number of coupons is also rising, which means customers don’t have to use as many paper coupons, saving them time and money.”

    In early November, rewards card users topped 320,000 and nearly 47 million digital coupons have been redeemed, saving customers over $5 million on their groceries.

    Customers have several ways to access the digital coupons. There are two apps – one for iPhone/iPad and one for Android – both of which allow for on-the-go coupon clipping. The apps also feature information on the commissary closest to the customer along with promotions and contests. There is also a website for those who prefer to use a computer to track their coupons.

    “We also send out email alerts to rewards card holders about newly-posted digital coupons, upcoming promotions and sweepstakes, and we include links to DeCA’s online sales flyer,” Carr said.

    One ongoing sweepstakes for rewards card holders is Kellogg’s “Theme Park Vacation Sweepstakes.” Grand prize winners can choose between a Disneyland or Disney World resort vacation with round-trip coach air and ground transportation for four, one hotel room for four nights, Disney Resort tickets and one Disney Gift Card valued at $500. Contest details are at https://deca.couponselectionpage.com/offers/all.

    For quick tips on using the Commissary Rewards Card, check out the following easy steps:

    • Get a rewards card at any military commissary.

    • Register the card at http://www.commissaries.com/rewards/index.cfm.

    • “Clip” or download coupons to your account (they are automatically loaded to your card).

    • Print a list of your coupons and bring it and your card with you on your next shopping trip.

    • Present your card at checkout so the cashier can scan it for coupons that match your purchased items.

    • Digital coupons are automatically erased from the account as they are redeemed or if they expire.

    “We are giving customers what they want,” said Tracie Russ, DeCA’s sales director. “Our customers are saving money, and we are evolving with them as we make it easier to save. And with the number of coupons going up, customers have a greater variety of products to choose from.”
