My husband and I recently renewed our AAA membership in case of emergencies, but I had no idea of the extra benefits that a membership includes. Not only can you use it when you are stranded on the side of the road, but with a little extra research I was able to find some great deals that you can get just by using your AAA card.
Prescription Savings : Believe it or not AAA can provide discounts (possibly up to 25 percent). The AAA Prescription Savings Card can be downloaded for free on their website. The catch is you can only use it when your medication is not covered by insurance.
Banana Republic Discounts: AAA is linked to clothing discounts? Sure is. You get a 10 percent discount with your card at Banana Republic Factory Stores and The Gap Outlets.
Dell: Dell has partnered with AAA to offer members savings on its products, such as computers, printers and televisions.
Hertz Car Rentals: If you’re traveling and need to rent a car, AAA can come in handy. You can save anywhere from 10 to 15 percent with your membership.
Kmart, Kohl’s and Sears: Shopping online can save you money. At Kmart having a AAA membership can get you 5 percent off your purchases. At Kohl’s you can save 15 percent on purchases of $100 or more. And with Sears online you get a 5 percent discount.
Shoes.com and Target.com: Get shoes at 20 percent off and save 10 percent at Target.
Restaurants & Hotels: We all love to eat out and AAA can help you keep a few extra dollars in your pocket. Also, keep your card on hand when traveling for hotel discounts.
