I was sent an invitational offer through the mail a few months ago so I decided that since I'll be doing some traveling on the road soon I might as well take them up on it. I came into the office and was greeted cheerfully by a lady sitting at a desk. She asked me how she could help and I proceeded to hand her the letter I received and explained that I would like to get this offer. She looked the paperwork over and asked me what level of membership I would like to purchase. Level? Apparently AAA has 3 different membership levels. Each level gets you towed a specific amount of miles and gets you free gas or repay gas when brought to you.
"Honestly", I told her, "I have car insurance that covers all of this already. I would like to purchase the lowest level and take advantage of all the discounts that come along with being an AAA member." So basic level it is!! The sign up process was simple and quick and the young lady was very nice as she talked to me about all the things that I could receive discounts on...food, hotels, vacations, etc. When she was finished inputting my information into the computer she printed out a receipt and a temporary card for me to have until my actual one comes in the mail in 3 days.
There are a few AAA places around town. There is one in town (I can't recall where it is at the moment) but that office carries all the travel books for different destinations and cruises that you can pick up for free as a member. Cool to have ahead of time when planning a trip. Now I just gotta figure out where I'm gonna put those shiny stickers on my car. read more
