The Defense Commissary Agency is offering gift vouchers at all of its 255 commissaries just in time for the holiday season! Vouchers are available in $25 denominations. Anyone may acquire gift vouchers; however, only commissary authorized patrons may redeem them.
They’re in most commissaries already, said Defense Commissary Agency spokesman Kevin Robinson, but should be at all stores no later than the week of Oct. 26. Unlike CertifiChecks, which tacked on a $4.95 fee that went to the company, these gift vouchers do not require any extra fee.
Vouchers will be available at commissary customer service areas, cash offices and from cashiers at full-service checkout lanes – those who do not have commissary privileges can go to customer service areas inside the stores to buy the gift vouchers.
