AAA to the Rescue  . . . for Spring Gift Ideas

May 10, 2018 - - Whether you’re shopping for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or graduations, gift giving is ramping up this week. Many of South Dakota’s 97,000 AAA members only think of using their membership when it comes to their car. However, when shopping for the moms, dads and grads in their life, they can actually use their card to save time and money.

Nothing says you care like the protection of a AAA membership. Memberships are especially popular graduation gifts for those heading away to college or a new job. Vehicle breakdowns never seem to occur at a convenient time, but AAA responds quickly with battery replacements on board, help for flat tires and even key retrieval if they are locked inside a car. Towing, if required, costs nothing extra for AAA members. AAA’s Plus membership – offering towing up to 100 miles – is available now for the price of a Classic membership when purchased as a gift. And, the member who purchases a gift membership receives a $10 gift card redeemable at a variety of merchants.

Here are examples of money-saving discounts on popular gift items available to anyone with a AAA card:

• 1-800-Flowers – Mother’s Day bouquets (Save 25% with code 25AAA 5/1-5/13)
• Harry & David – Father’s Day Summer Grilling Gift Box (Save 25% with code 25AAA 5/1-5/13)
• Ticket Monster – Save at least 15% on theater, sporting event, and concert tickets

AAA members who use their card for discounts save an average of $92 per year. Yet membership starts at just $52 a year, a price local drivers find well worth it just for roadside rescue peace of mind. Information on all discounts can be found at AAA.com/Discounts.
