Hotels that List AAA Rate - Query

Hi all,

I am from Australia and am a member of the RAA which is the South Australian Automobile Assoc.

Does anyone know if this card can be used when a discount is available for members of the US AAA?

We are members of the RACQ in Queensland and were able to gain all the discounts provided to AAA members and I assume you would be in the same position. Just check your card and on the back it should show %26#39;show your card and save%26#39; and a code number.

We didnt use it for hotels as we actually got better rates through different websites (such as travelzoo.com and also used hotwire for a hotel in San Diego). However we did use it a discount on our Amtrak train tickets and seaworld entry and also if you go any of the outlet shopping centres you can usually get a coupon book by showing your card.

Good luck.

Thanks for that - I thought that there would be reciprocal rights with the various Auto Clubs throughout the world - I have actually emailed the hotel that we are looking at to make sure though! Hopefully they will get back to me with a reply!

Thanks again!

Check with your auto club to see if they have reciprocal rights with the AAA which is the umbrella organization for auto clubs in the U.S. (the ';show your card and save'; logo would be a hint). If you have reciprocal rights, you could get excellent free maps and guides at any auto club office in the U.S. such as the Automobile Club of Southern California which has offices throughout the Los Angeles area. They could also advise you or make reservations for you at the discounted rates which are lower than regular rates, but not necessarily lower than priceline and some other discount websites. The above poster is correct that you may also receive discounts at some attractions, restaurants and stores. Again, they can advise you at any of their offices, such as the office at Figueroa and Adams (just south of downtown Los Angeles).

Thanks for the advice. I have checked the back of my RAA card and yes it does have the Show Your Card and Save logo. Also checked the AAA website and it confirms that we have reciprocal rights, which will be super handy as we will be hiring a car for some of the holiday and will be able to get maps etc.!

USA here we come!
