AA discount

[highlander447]

Hi some may already know but I just found out that if u are a member of the AA here in the UK u can use your card in states and get AAA discount

We used ours lots this last trip. It can be used for discounts at lots of places, including rooms at WDW if they're available!! :micbounce

I didn't know this and I've been an AA member for years. Fantastic news. Many thanks. How do I find out what discounts are available for AA members. Well done for the information. :)

You can use it anywhere you see the AAA symbol Helen.:thumbs: We used ours at all the shops in Universal. I saved quite a lot stocking up on Dora the Explorer stuff for Christmas and I used it for buying the Mummy photo.

AAA discounts on rooms are available much further in advance than AP rates, so Cinderella will often try to find us a room on a AAA discount and then swap to the AP rate if they become available at a later date.

We got breakdown cover with our car, but we payed the lowest AA joining fee (£35 or £40 I think) just to get the discounts and it more than paid for itself.

Did anyone question the card Paula, or not seen it before?

[PaulaK]

They looked at me oddly a few times, but I get that a lot anyway :lol: I just showed them the Universal symbol on the back (the red, white and blue one) and they accepted it no problem. :thumbs:

Paula, you're a star my friend. :Posy: I'm just checking the back of my card now and it has the red, white and blue symbol but within that it says Europe. Do you think I should contact AA to see if any discounts they're offering are only available in Europe. I could save a fortune this year. :thumbs:

[PaulaK]

That's the one Helen, just show the ARC Europe symbol. :thumbs:

I asked Cinderella about this because we were booked in a room under a Canadian AAA rate, but she told me it didn't matter, it's the symbol they recognise. :D

Great news Paula. Many thanks. This website is just a gold nugget of information :) :thumbs: .
