Get the AAA Discounts iPhone App and Start Saving!

If you are like me, you got a AAA Roadside Assistance card from your parents when you started to drive; I have had mine since I was sixteen. For a decade the card has stayed in my wallet until the occasional flat tire or dead battery. Sure, I knew you could get discounts with your AAA card, but I thought it was limited to the Motel 6 and other such vendors that I do not frequent. However, last week my wife and I were at a small dinner party at Outback Steakhouse. A lady in our party mentioned, “you know, we get a free Awesome Blossom appetizer with a AAA card here”. Needless to say we got one!

A day later I launched the iTunes App Store, checked out the Travel section, and found a free app from AAA called “Discounts” that will locate AAA discounts near your GPS location or another location of your choice. Savings located near my condo: 20% off all paint from Sherwin Williams, 10% off regular priced merchandise at Payless ShoeSource, 10% off of food at Queens Pizza. All these discounts were found using the AAA Discounts iPhone app.

This blog post is not to promote AAA membership, but rather to let you know that this card does not have to sit in your wallet waiting for an emergency, but can most likely get you discounts at places you frequent often. I can only imagine the money I could have saved over the years! The AAA Discounts iPhone app makes it simple & easy!
