WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2005 – Army and Air Force Exchange Service officials announced Sept. 2 that they are waiving interest and suspending monthly payment requirements to Exchange Credit Program cardholders displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
"According to our records, there are approximately 15,000 accounts impacted in undeliverable zip codes," said AAFES' treasurer, Grant Morris.
