Exchanges Upgrading Shoppette Systems

Week of December 15, 2008

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is in the process of upgrading its Point of Sale (POS) systems to accept the Wright Express (WEX) Card, the new fleet card provider for GSA and the Department of Defense (DoD). GSA, GSA Fleet and DoD Fleet customers can no longer use the Voyager card as an acceptable form of payment at AAFES gas facilities. AAFES will not be equipped to accept Wright Express cards until Jan. 12, 2009 when an interim fix is implemented. The interim solution will give customers the capability to use their WEX card to pay inside the AAFES Shoppette. The "pay at the pump" system will be upgraded and ready to accept the new form of payment in Fall 2009.
