From July 2 through Sept. 2, Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers can use layaway to hold tax-free purchases of computers, notebooks, tablets and iPads – items that are not typically eligible for the program.
“Technology is evolving quickly and having the right tablet or computer can be critical to academic achievement,” said Wright-Patterson Exchange General Manager Keola Chan. “The Exchange’s layaway program is an affordable, practical way for students to stay on top of their studies.”
A $3 service fee and a deposit of 15% are required to hold items on layaway. Items must be picked up by Sept. 2. Shoppers can visit customer service at the Wright Patterson Exchange for details.

Since 1895, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) has gone where Soldiers, Airmen and their families go to improve the quality of their lives by providing valued goods and services at exclusive military pricing. The Exchange is the 61st-largest retailer in the United States. Its earnings provided $2.1 billion in dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs over the last 10 years.
