        Honor Your Loved One

Aerospace Veteran Memorial Pavers
Sponsored by Wichita Aerospace Companies

At the corner of Oliver and MacArthur, Spirit has a unique monument that honors individuals who have served in the service of country. Spirit has asked SBEA to start this program up again, so we are honored to relaunch the Aerospace Veteran Memorial Pavers.

You may purchase pavers at any SBEA store in either granite or brick, engraved with either standard messages or personal information honoring veterans. Order forms, including more information about the pavers, are available at all SBEA stores. To order, pick up a form and return the completed form to a SBEA store with your form of pay. Brick pavers are $35.00 and granite pavers are $80.00.

New Gift Card Policy

Notice of Change on Gift Cards – Effective October 1, 2022

While we are glad to bring a service to our members they like, we must also do things in the best interest for SBEA. The gift cards have gotten so big and so many that we must do something to bring the cost in line.  Starting October 1, 2022 there will be some changes on how our gift cards are sold.

  1. There will be a limit on Walmart cards to $100 per deduction, per member as they are very popular, and we are limited on how many we get. Hopefully more of our members can have access to these cards.
  2. We will also limit our ordering to those that sell the best and not carry so many different cards.
  3. There will also no longer be any special orders or holding on gift cards. First come, first choice of the gift cards available.

As always, we work hard to bring great things for our members while keeping the SBEA growing and secure for the future. Thank you for your understanding.

       Merchant Discounts

One of the most popular “perks” SBEA members have is access to discounts across the city.  SBEA provides a listing of merchants willing to provide wonderful discounts as a service to our members that can be accessed online by visiting this page at https://beatoday.com/merchant-discounts/. Simply present your current SBEA membership card at the listed businesses. We continually look for additional discounts to offer our members.

    Happy Birthday To You

To help you celebrate your special day, we would like to offer you 15% off 1 item on your purchase. Show us your driver’s license on your birthday and we will take 15% off 1 item from your purchase. The discount is only good for merchandise, clothing and tackle.
