YMMV but I allowed my free year membership from AAA to expire. It originally was through a T-Mobile promotion. I randomly got mail today stating another complimentary free year would be given to me by AAA

Here is the letter
" I'm writing today to thank you for being a Member and to inform you that you've been chosen to receive an additional year of coverage within our
"T-Mobile Year on Us" program. It's our way of saying "Thank You" for being a valued AAA Member.
Your FREE 12-month membership applies to your current membership level including any associate(s) on your account and will be valid throush 7/1/2024.
It's that simple. There is nothing you need to do. You get an additional 12 months of AAA membership, FREE. You'll receive all the benefits that accompany the membership, including our superior roadside assistance! Don't forget to take advantage of the multiple member discounts, we have to offer. You can sit back and watch the savings start to pile up!
Your new membership card should arrive within 7-10 business days."

Basic is free towing for 7 miles. The next level is 100 miles of towing. You can upgrade for an additional fee the day of.
So there's a waiting period for signups but not for upgrades?

Does this still not work on legacy plans such a Simple Choice?

AAA is a rip off. lemme explain why. the coupon type discount like 2% off or 5% off here there are already free with abn save free membership. Such discounts are even worse the car rental's own price.

The roadside assistance is the worst of all. First you need to pay for basic only 5 miles tow for $60 or $110 plus membership for regular tow but if you ask and read all the comments on their website, you wait 2 to 9 hour minimum for a guy to show up.

You can pay $15 extra for 12 months with your insurance company and you get unrestricted road side assistance and you wait far less amount of time.

AAA is like those 2% off coupon for those who don't know what a deal actually means!

save that money and pay $15 a year with your auto insurance company and you get unrestricted much faster towing service.

it's not like you need towing everyday so no need to worry. i have been driving for 25 years with regular maintenance and I have only towed my car only twice.

Correct, new signups have something like a 48 hour waiting period. If you already have Basic, there's no waiting period to upgrade but you'll obviously have to pay the difference plus a fee of about $24. I asked almost a year ago, so I may be off by a few dollars. I don't know anything about the legacy plans though.

Not always true. I used towing with my insurance. Waited over 2 hours. When I got my next statement from insurance they informed me my premiums were going up due to a claim. When I called and told them something was wrong I didn't have a claim. They gave me the date of my tow and said I used the tow service, it counts. I wasn't in an accident, the damn car just broke down. Never using that service again.

read all the complaints on AAA social media, minimum 2 to 9 hour waiit for towing is what MOST are saying. paying $60 or $110 a year for such a restricted AND hours long wait is foolish when with only %15 a year with your insurance company, you get much faster unrestricted towing

I read many stories about insurance companies counting call for a tow as insurance claim. Have no real experience. Personally I will rely on paid tow provided by credit card companies

unless you driva a car and never do maintanance and ask for towing eveyr week or month, i don't see the reason for premium increase being the towing service.
i haven't used towing for over 15 years now, zero accidents or tickets and my premium still increased by $100 recently. there are other factors that consider. but AAA is a disaster, hours and whole day or night wait for a guy on white truck to show up for $60 to $110 a year and than they demand tip. thats what everyone is saying. i can't imagine wasting in cold or hot weather for that many hours somewhere with AAA

Must depend where you live, my mom buys my sister AAA and she drives beaters that break down a lot, the wait for a tow or jump is usually less than 45 min, she uses it probably twice a year.

My car started dead last month. Called AAA waited time is 1hour and 45min. They said starter problem so called Tow and paid $30 extra because its 2 miles over limit.
AAA discount on hotel and Theme parks not that great the only Pro for me is to be able to Transfer Title or Renew registration at any AAA instead of going to DMV.

Damn I went ahead and paid for renewal last month. It actually pays for itself from savings on hotels alone. Also used it last year to jump start a dead battery.

You need to check out the hotel deal sites. AAA discount has never been better then those for me
