AAA perks

A few perks that make it worthwhile to get a AAA membership, aside from the car-towing benefits. Get 20% off tickets to Wicked Tuesday through Friday this summer with code AAA. Limit 12 tickets. Get 8% off purchases of $199 or more at Circuit City with a coupon here.

Get 10% off a Motorola hands-free device if you do not already have one. Get 20% off the best available rate at Best Western on this site. Get a free car seat with your Hertz car rental and other discounts as a AAA member.

At Sea World in San Diego get adult tickets at the kid price and get kid's tickets half off now through September 1. A year's pass can be had for the price of one full-price single-day admission. In person show your AAA card, over the phone (800-25-SHAMU) press 14 and ask for the AAA 100 days of summer offer. Online use code SWCAAASmr08. Not sure if it is case sensitive.

Caveats: The SeaWorld deal has some blackout dates and cannot be used with other discounts.

The discounts require you to be a AAA member, which costs $47 a year plus a one-time $20 fee to join. Adding a second adult in the same household is $24 a year.
