Triple A Information

The AAA (triple A) company provides more than three ways to save money. The business most known for its roadside service to broken-down vehicles also sells auto insurance, helps customers plan their next vacation and provides a plethora of automobile services.

The organization started in 1902 in Chicago as the American Automobile Association. Now based in Heathrow, Florida, AAA has more than 50 million members.

It will steer consumers to AAA-approved auto-repair shops. It recommends places to get new or replacement windshields or other auto glass, batteries, and general maintenance. It also runs an “Auto Manager” program, where the customer plugs in basic information about the vehicle, and AAA sends maintenance and repair information via e-mail.

The discounts are numerous for AAA members. Everywhere from optometrists to restaurants to retail stores to hotels give some kind of discount when a customer simply flashes a AAA card or enters his or her member number. Homewood Suites by Hilton, for example, gives a 5-percent discount to AAA members when they show their card upon check in.

Fanny May Fine Chocolates gives a 15-percent discount to AAA members when customers order online. The 1-800-FLOWERS company offers a 20-percent discount when customers order online or by phone. The Cookies by Design company takes off 15 percent for AAA members, and Blue Nile, a jewelry store, reduces the total cost by 10 percent.

If customers go to www.aaa.com/target, they can get a 10-percent discount on select items from Target. Best Buy’s Geek Squad offers a 20-percent discount for its technical support and services, and FTD takes 25 percent off for AAA members if they order at www.FTD.com.

Hertz Car Rentals (20 percent), Lenscrafters (30 percent), Amtrak (10 percent), Dell Computers (6 percent), Planetfone (10 percent), Barnes and Noble (10 percent), Best Western (10 percent), DoubleTree Hotels (5 percent), Embassy Suites (5 percent), Hampton Inn (10 percent) Hard Rock Café (10 percent), NAPA (7 percent) and New York & Company (15 percent) all offer discounts to AAA members, among other companies.
