4 Ways a Digital AAA Membership Card Offers Savings, Safety and Convenience

AAA has racked up a lot of miles over the years. In fact, AAA has been helping stranded motorists make it home safely for more than 100 years now. But while this century-plus-old organization has been around the block a few gazillion times, this is one “old dog” that knows how to learn new technology-driven tricks.

AAA is always looking for new ways to bring savings, safety and convenience to members’ lives, and one of those ways is through embracing technology. That’s where the AAA digital membership card comes in. With a handy AAA digital membership card, you get all the perks of a traditional AAA membership but in a fresh new way.

Here are four ways that having a AAA digital membership card conveniently on your phone provides all the clout of AAA membership but without the clutter of paper and plastic.

1. Your AAA digital membership card is always with you.

In today’s connected world, it seems that everyone has their phone on them all the time. Adding your AAA membership card to your smart phone’s digital wallet is as easy as downloading the free AAA Mobile App or logging into your online AAA account.

With a digital card on your phone, you don’t have to worry about forgetting your card or losing it. Just as your AAA Membership is always with you, covering you in any vehicle, your AAA digital membership card can always be with you on your mobile device. With your AAA digital membership card, all your membership information and AAA member benefits are ready to access with just a few simple taps. No wondering where you last left your card or rummaging through your wallet to locate it. And your wallet has one fewer card taking up space in those coveted sleeves.

2. Any updates to your AAA membership appear pronto.

Before the debut of the AAA digital membership card option, joining AAA meant waiting for your membership card to arrive in the mail. Now, you’ll have your digital membership card ready to go within hours of creating your AAA digital membership. If you upgrade your AAA membership to a higher membership level—Plus or Premier—your card will be updated automatically within 24 hours. The same goes for when you renew your membership annually, whether you pay your bill manually or through Automatic Renewal.

3. The AAA digital membership card creates less hassle and more simplicity.

We’re all bombarded with bills, letters, and circulars in our mailboxes daily. With so much clutter, it’s easy to miss important pieces of mail which can lead to a lot of frustration. By enrolling in AAA’s digital membership and using your AAA digital membership card, you can receive important notices from AAA via email and the AAA Mobile app so that you’re always in the know about your AAA member benefits.

By enrolling in AAA’s digital membership, you also avoid the hassle of waiting for your renewal statement or your new AAA membership card to arrive in the mail. No waiting, easy access and less physical mail to dispose of—that’s a win for everyone.

4. It’s easy to see and use your AAA member benefits when they’re at your fingertips.

The number-one reason people join AAA is for AAA Roadside Assistance, which is understandable since AAA is the gold standard for roadside assistance. But AAA wants members to use their AAA membership for all it’s worth, from discounts and travel planning to insurance and financial tools and so much more.

Having your AAA digital membership card in your wallet means you have convenient access to your membership account, including your membership number, and benefits at all times. Plus, with the AAA Mobile App and your online AAA account, you can learn about all of your AAA member benefits from your mobile device and have quick and easy access to use them on the fly. Translation: You’ll get more mileage from your membership, making it even more valuable than ever before.

Here’s what you can accomplish online at AAA.com and through the AAA Mobile app:

• Submit a digital AAA Roadside Assistance request
• Use your AAA discounts on a variety of products and services at a variety of retailers, both in store and online
• Get insurance quotes for your auto, home, life and more
• Book your travel—hotels, cruises, tours, car rentals, etc.
• Schedule car maintenance and repairs
• Manage your membership and update your information
• And much more

Since its founding in 1902, AAA has strived to continuously improve its member experience. The new AAA digital membership card is another example of that commitment to enhancing the lives of members. So, show your card on your phone at a restaurant to unlock a discount, book your next family cruise on the app, or submit a AAA Roadside Assistance request online if you need a rescue on the road. It’s all there, ready to go, right on your phone, and always with you on the road of life.
