17 AAA Perks You Might Not Know About

So. Many. Discounts.

AAA. It's something you have for emergencies (look at you, so responsible) but rarely use. Turns out, that’s kind of a waste, since there are actually a ton of useful membership perks that could save you cash on everything from anitbiotics to car seats. Here are 17 of the ones we didn’t know about but are now very into.

Get that new car smell for a few less dollars.

Which means that AAA will give you $1,000 to cover bond if you don't have enough cash after a traffic violation. And no, that's not a joke.
