NEXs Expand Gift Card Assortment
To enhance the customer shopping experience, the NEX recently expanded its gift card assortment to include 82 additional retailers. Customers can now purchase gift cards from retailers such as Amazon, Zappos, Target, Ulta Beauty, Victoria’s Secret, TJ Maxx, Uber, Topgolf, Saks Off Fifth, Overstock, CVS Pharmacy, Old Navy, Gap, Macy’s, Lowe's and Home Depot.
“We know that for many of our customers who live far away from their loved ones, many times, a gift card is much easier to send through the mail,” said Mary-Margaret Caragan, service program manager for the Navy Exchange Service Command. “We wanted to increase the number of gift cards we have available for purchase so that our customers can always find that perfect gift.”
Retail gift cards are only available for purchase in-store.
