Eligibility and Availability for Military Exchange Users
Shop My Exchange support is available to all current and former military exchange shoppers, including AAFES and Navy Exchange users.
The support team is based in San Antonio, TX and covers all US regions. We serve military exchange customers worldwide, but hours are aligned to Eastern Time.
Initially we tried offering 12/7 phone support but found that most calls during overnight hours were from European members, so we shifted to a 24/7 live chat model instead.
For online shopping issues with AAFES or Navy Exchange, we can route your ticket to the appropriate exchange liaison.
All benefits and tax-free eligibility questions can be answered over chat; our representatives can verify your military status.
We also provide support for those who need help with the official AAFES or Navy Exchange websites, though certain transactions require direct contact with those services.
For federal consumer protection rules, see FTC.
The official methodology is detailed in the Shop My Exchange overview.
