February 27, 2009

cert CertifiChecks, Inc., has ceased operations, effective immediately, and will no longer administer gift certificate programs. Sales have been stopped.

The good news for AAFES Customers is that AAFES will accept CertifiChecks made out to the BX/PX (AAFES). UPDATE: They are NOT redeemable for any cash, merchandise only. The Certificheck must be used completely in one transaction. Change may be given, but a purchase must be made. The purchase amount must be at least (approximately) 50% of the face value of the Certificheck presented.

The Certificheck has verbiage that states the checks are void after one year. AAFES retail and food facilities will accept any expired Certificheck. Certifichecks will honor expired Certifichecks regardless of the redemption date.
