is AAA worth joining?

Isn't this for retirees only?

People will say no,....until they need it

What do you get if you are retired from AAA?

My insurance covers everything AAA would do for $2 a month

For the hotel discounts, I usually see the AAA rate is similar to the cheapest rate you can't cancel, except you can cancel with the AAA rate. That's nice. And I've needed a tow in the past year.

exactly, it's $60 a year. If you need a tow, they tow you, if you need a jump, or run out of gas they help you. Even if you are too lazy to change a flat, they do that for you too.

The only reason I don't have it now, is because I have it with my Insurance through progressive.
AAA is great to have, especially if you travel or have an older car.

Oh and the discounts, I forgot about that, there are some great hotel and resort discounts.

If you have a relatively new vehicle that is still under a warranty that includes roadside assistance, then maybe not. For vehicles with no roadside assistance coverage, I think is it a good investment. I have it because my wife and daughter are on the road often.

At first I read it as "is AA worth joining?"

If you have an unreliable car, then it probably is. I haven't called them since I got a new car, but I used them all the time since I got a new car.

I'm a member. Came in handy when my fuel pump stopped and I had to get towed to the repair shop.

Also, if you use UPS Store some of their locations give you discounts on shipping (but not if you send something by USPS, only by UPS) and supplies.

Did you get a letter from them?

I just did and I was thinking about starting this same thread. We're on the road a lot, so I may give it a try.
