More Ways to Save

There are so many benefits you can receive as a AAA member, it’s often difficult to know about all of them. Of course, most members know that AAA is the leader in roadside assistance, and our benefits include towing, jump-starts, lockout service and more. In fact, we responded to over 100,000 service calls in Hennepin County last year alone! Other popular benefits include complimentary maps, travel guides and TripTiks™, which help members travel smartly and stay safe. One of our most valuable benefits—and perhaps lesser known—is our Discounts & Rewards program. This program gives members access to discounts and deals at over 100,000 merchant locations throughout the United States. Our partners are both national brands and local businesses that offer savings on entertainment, events, hospitality, dining, retail, travel, automotive services and more.

The great thing about the Discounts & Rewards program is that we’re continually looking for new ways to help members save money and live better. A great example is our new partnership with GoodRx, which launched in August and provides members with incredible savings (up to 85 percent off!) on prescriptions for the entire family, including pets. Even if you have health insurance to pay for your prescriptions, insurance co-pays are often higher than the discounts provided by GoodRx. The AAA GoodRx program offers exclusive discounts on brand name, generic, specialty and pet prescriptions, along with some over-the-counter products. Plus, members can choose from over 70,000 U.S. pharmacies in the GoodRx network. Keep in mind that GoodRx is not insurance and cannot be used with health insurance plans, but may be used instead of insurance or Medicare. For more information on this new benefit, visit AAA.com/GoodRx.

Another newer AAA discount, which we featured in the last issue of Live|Play|AAA, is the Active&Fit Direct™ Program. For $25 per month with a $25 enrollment fee (plus applicable taxes), AAA members get access to over 10,000 participating fitness centers and select YMCAs nationwide, which is a fraction of the average market prices. The program only requires a three-month commitment and provides members with access to dozens of fitness centers in the Twin Cities, including Snap Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Planet Fitness and LA Fitness. We continue to add new Discounts & Rewards partners, so I encourage you to bookmark AAA.com/Discounts to discover the latest offers. You’ll be glad you did!

Drive safe!
