Become a participating business with AAA

How to join our discounts network for AAA members

About the program
 

The AAA discounts program provides AAA members with discounts on everyday items and services such as dining, automotive, entertainment, shopping, travel, home improvement, and more. Participating businesses are promoted year-round in select member publications, direct mail, online, and more.
 

Businesses interested in participating are required to provide AAA members with an ongoing, year-round discount equivalent to or better than 10% off their core product or service for a minimum of 1 year. AAA members should be able to redeem the offer by showing their AAA membership card in-store or by visiting a unique AAA member landing page.
