Just in time for the holiday shopping season, a new program allows AAA Western and Central New York members to lower the cost of their membership dues by earning rebates from eGift Cards purchased at AAA.com. More than 375 major brands – such as JCPenney, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot and Chipotle – offer rebates up to 11 percent on eGift Card purchases. The rebates are then credited back to the AAA member’s account, automatically lowering his or her annual AAA dues.

The AAA Everyday Rebates program works when a member logs in to AAA.com to browse and purchase eGift Cards. Each brand’s rebate percentage is clearly labeled, and that amount will be applied to the member’s AAA account upon purchase—instantly lowering the cost of AAA dues when it’s time to renew. Gift-givers can choose to print or email the eGift Cards, depending on their preference. 

“Besides the money they’re saving on their AAA dues, our members especially enjoy the convenience of the program during the holidays,” said program manager Jennifer Argentieri. “They can shop when it’s best for them – and they don’t have to face crowded stores and parking lots.”

With everything done online, the new program is an easy way to cross gifts off a holiday list. Members can also treat themselves to their favorite brands, knowing they’re getting a little something extra in return.
