17 AAA Member Benefits You’re Probably Missing Out On

Your AAA membership isn’t just about flat tires and roadside assistance. It’s packed with perks and freebies that often fly under the radar. These lesser-known AAA member benefits can save you hundreds—even thousands of dollars—each year. Whether you’re a longtime AAA member or just signed up, here are some of the many benefits you can start using today.

1. Free travel planning services

Planning a vacation? Tap the expertise of a AAA Travel Advisor. Let your expert advisor do the heavy lifting—travel planning, booking, and managing all the details of your trip—while offering insider knowledge and exclusive travel deals to ensure you get the best vacation for your budget. 

2. Exclusive travel discounts and upgrades

Even if you’re not working with a AAA Travel Advisor, you can still score exclusive travel deals on AAA.com. From hotels and all-inclusive resorts to cruise lines and rental cars, AAA has negotiated special rates and free upgrades with top brands worldwide.

3. Member-only retail discounts

AAA discounts go beyond travel. From home goods and electronics to theme-park tickets and dining, the retail discounts are diverse—and they’re all available on AAA.com. (Consider it a first stop for holiday shopping, too.) Standout partners include:

• Samsung
• HP
• 1-800-Flowers.com
• Harry & David
• Shutterfly
• Audible

4. Complimentary insurance review

As a AAA member, you get a free, no-strings-attached insurance review. AAA will compare your current coverage with that of more than 20 top providers to ensure you’re getting the best value.

5. Free identity-theft protection

Stay ahead of fraud with free identity-theft protection. It’s free with your AAA membership—all you need to do is activate it by simply enrolling. If you want more protection benefits, you can upgrade to a higher tier at a discounted price.

6. Discounted movie and show tickets

This perk’s a real showstopper: Score discounted movie tickets at major theaters across the country—AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and more—plus save up to 30 percent on live events, from Broadway musicals to Las Vegas spectacles.

7. Discounted tax prep

Maximize your refund with 25 percent off federal and state tax filing services through TaxAct. It’s user-friendly, provides a maximum refund guarantee, and offers live advice from real experts.

8. Savings on gas

AAA’s legacy of helping motorists extends to the pump. Save 5 cents per gallon at Shell with every fill-up by joining the free Fuel Rewards Program.

And the savings don’t stop there. AAA members can also take advantage of fuel discounts at Love’s Travel Stops nationwide by linking their membership in the Love’s Connect app. That means savings of 13¢ per gallon on gasoline, 20¢ per gallon on auto-diesel, and 50¢ per gallon on bulk propane, plus added perks like free drinks through the Love’s Drink Club and exclusive in-app offers.

9. Savings on everyday tech

AAA membership doesn’t just save you money on the road—it can help you upgrade your home, too. Through the AAA Amazon Device Hub, members get exclusive discounts on popular Amazon products like Echo smart speakers, Fire TVs, Kindles, and Ring security devices. It’s an easy way to bring home the latest tech for less—often with savings of up to 40%—no Prime membership required.

10. AAA Mobile App

Download the AAA Mobile app for one-tap access to roadside assistance, AAA discounts, and—perhaps best of all—AAA’s Fuel Finder tool to locate the cheapest gas nearby.

11. Bicycle roadside assistance

For bike commuters, weekend riders, and casual cyclists, AAA offers roadside assistance when you're traveling by bike—just like when you’re traveling by car—as long as you’re on the roadway. Get a flat while riding? Help is only a call or click away. It’s included with all AAA membership levels.

12. Auto buying discounts

The AAA Auto Buying Program offers exclusive, prenegotiated pricing on new and used vehicles with a no-haggle experience. 

13. AAA credit card with premium perks

Members get exclusive access to two AAA Visa Signature credit cards, including the AAA Travel Advantage Visa Signature Credit Card, ideal for frequent travelers. Perks include:

• No annual fee
• No foreign transaction fees
• 5 percent cash back on gas station purchases and electric vehicle charging
• 3 percent back on travel, grocery store, dining, and AAA purchases
• $100 statement credit after spending $1,000 within first 90 days of account opening 

For example, if you charge a $10,000 vacation on this card within the first 90 days of account opening, you’ll get $400 back. That’s some serious souvenir spending money!

14. Free member events

Ignite your wanderlust and connect with other AAA members at local events spotlighting the latest travel trends. These free events feature expert insights, AAA-exclusive deals, and vetted travel partners. Past topics have included:

• National parks exploration
• Ocean and river cruising
• All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean
• Destination highlights: Spain, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Thailand, and more

15. Health and wellness discounts

16. International travel planning essentials

• Discounts on passport photos (free for Premier members)
• Special rates on expedited passport and visa services
• International Drivers Permit (IDP)
• Foreign currency services with competitive rates

17. Free travel guides and maps

While smartphones and GPS are convenient, they’re not always reliable—especially in remote areas where service is spotty or nonexistent. Use the AAA TripTik Travel Planner to create a customized guide, available in both printed and digital formats, for added security on your journey.
