The AA not only offer breakdown cover and insurance services, but also members benefits which could mean saving money on other services and products.
Here are some benefits starting with 20% off airport parking with Holiday Extras, then you can get up to 60% off car windscreens that are not claimed through car insurance and 5% off certain hotels throughout the UK, you can even get savings on your next bottle of wine supplied by Virgin wine.
The AA have also started a loyalty scheme for those who have have had AA breakdown cover or insurance for over a year, unfortunately you have to login to see what benefits you can get. So unless you have already got AA membership, you will not know what benefits you would get by joining, not sure if this is good marketing.
In a world where breakdown cover is so so competitive, extra member benefits may help covert some more sales.

At first we got the news that the AA were going to strike over the Bank Holiday weekend, then there was a message that not all members would be supporting the strike, so it would be “business as usual”. Earlier this week, messages are delivered stating that the AA would be still delivering a reduced service over the weekend, but today we heard the good news; the strike by AA Patrolmen is off.
The Independent Democratic Union who represent the AA patrolmen have agreed to call off the strike whilst they re-ballot their members on new proposals. This is good news for the motorists who have decided to get away this Bank Holiday weekend, now knowing that their AA policies for breakdown cover can be fully enforced.
The May Bank holiday is traditionally a busy time for motorists, although the weather doe not look as good as most would like. It is also a busy time for retail parks and DIY stores, so the roads are still likely to be busy this weekend.
