Free Streaming of 2018 Winter Olympics for Military & Veterans (February 8th-25th)
The Winter Olympics Start February 8th!
If you are a U.S. service member or honorably-discharged veteran, you will be able to stream the 2018 Winter Olympics on your desktop or personal device for FREE with your ShopMyExchange account. See the full details here.
Here’s how to access the free streaming…
- Go to NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app
- Choose AAFES Exchange as your service provider
- Log in with your AAFES Shop My Exchange login credentials to verify military status
- Enjoy over 1,800 hours of coverage from February 8th-25th
That’s very nice! Always great to see companies care for our active duty and veterans..
It’s noce to see AAFES as the verification person usually it’s some random company (id me, sheer id etc) and you have to give them all your information. It’s a little sketchy. AAFES is tied to your military identity and benefits they are the one company with all your information. So when you do make an account it really is to verify your identity only. The others you are giving them access to your information. Thank you for sharing we will be utilizing this.
I don’t find AAFES Exchange listed as a provider on Android.
I don’t see it yet either. Do we have to wait until the 8th of February to register to stream?
On the FAQ, they have this advice: Some quick tips…Make sure you have installed the correct NBC sports app. Choose NBC Olympics as your
destination once in the app. Next, click on the Olympic event you want to watch. Note that only the “live” events
will require authentication and log in. As you begin watching a live event the app will prompt you to select your TV
provider. At that time, scroll down the page and select the Exchange logo. You may also use the drop down text
box by choosing “AAFES, The Exchange, Military BX/PX” as listed.
This is great! Especially since the government shutdown and no AFN :(…
Awesome!
I like
has anyone been successful in setting this up with AAFES as the service provider? I tried to do it with the fire stick and AAFES wsn’t listed as a provider. . .
Same… I tried with the NBC Sports app and couldn’t find it either…
I meant to reply to this thread. I can’t find it as a provider either. I’m on the nbc sports app right now. I’m going to try through Apple TV later.
It says in the FAQ that it won’t work for firestick. https://www.shopmyexchange.com/assets/winter-olympics/FAQ_Sheet_Winter_Olympics.pdf
I can’t find it either. I’m looking on the nbc sports app right now. I’m going to try Apple TV and Roku later I guess. I remember the summer Olympics was only available from the actual website. But they advertised apps everywhere I’ve looked for the AAFES Exchange log-in.
So bummed that they no longer have aafes listed as a provider. Anyone had success streaming with this?
So I looked at the FAQ, if anyone is still having trouble finding it, don’t sign in on the app, follow these steps: “Click on the Olympic event you want to watch. Note that only the “live” events
will require authentication and log in.” Exchange is listed as a provider when you do it that way, at least on the NBC Sports app, I haven’t tried anything else
I still don’t see Aafes Exchange listed as a provider. And the olympics have been on for 5 days now. I’m using the roku and have th nbc sports app installed any suggestions?
