BX/PX Retail Program

1. AAFES retail stores will match a local competitor's current price on any identical stock assortment item for the customer who makes the price challenge. "Identical" is defined as the same brand, same manufacturer, and same model number. For softlines, an identical item has to be the same size, color, brand and style. Though advertised most heavily in main stores, it is important to remember that our We’ll Match It! policy applies to all AAFES retail stores, to include Shoppettes, Class Six, Car Care, and troop stores. This applies to all normally carried items whether they are in stock or not. An example of this would be tires that are line priced on the contract; we realize space is an issue and that most tires are ordered. These types of orders would not be considered special orders.

2. AAFES retail stores worldwide will accept oral price challenges (based on the customer's word) on identical stock assortment items from local competitors. Price differences up to $10 will be honored on the spot. A local competitor is defined as a retailer doing business in the community where the exchange is located to include warehouse clubs. This includes AAFES, Navy and Marine exchanges.

3. AAFES retail stores worldwide have a 14-Day Price Guarantee on any item originally purchased from AAFES and subsequently sold at a lower price by AAFES, or any local competitor.

4. AAFES retail stores worldwide will not accept price match challenges from any outside retail catalog or outside internet site.

5. AAFES retail stores worldwide will match pricing on identical items found in the Exchange Catalog or aafes.com with the exception of the following categories: fine jewelry, collectible giftware, crystal and closeouts. In addition, Special Orders and Exchange Online Mall are excluded.

There are two types of price challenges:

1. Regular - To get a reduced price, a customer must bring in a current competitor's ad. If the customer making the challenge does not have such an ad, verify the price by getting the ad or calling the competitor. A "local competitor's current ad" is defined as an ad which clearly shows inclusive current dates and is sponsored by a retailer doing business in the community where the exchange is located. This includes Navy and Marine exchanges, plus other AAFES exchanges which may have developed their own local promotion fliers.

2. Oral - A customer may tell us they know our price is higher than a competitor's. We will accept their word and charge the lower price up to a difference of $10. This will be approved immediately by the cashier-checker or sales associate. No competitor's ad or any other proof is required. Price challenges under $10 do not require supervisor or managerial approval. Price challenges over $10 should have such approval before being given.

WHEN TO GIVE A PRICE BREAK: To get the price break, the competitor's item must be identical to the item in the AAFES store. "Identical" is defined as: same brand, same manufacturer, and same model number. For softlines, an identical item has to be the same size, color, brand and style.

IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT AN ITEM IS IDENTICAL, USE COMMON SENSE. GIVE THE CUSTOMER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, ENSURING THE CREDIBILITY OF THE PROGRAM.
