Do you ever get asked for your AAA card if using the discount?

Huh, didn't realize that they had meetings. I'll have to see if I can crash the next one in SoCal.

There are slight differences between the operations of the various AAA member clubs, and I don't think the Automobile Club of Southern California has public meetings.

Don't we have an annual meeting? I know that there are for California State Automobile Club.

I could never make it anyway. Don't own a car....

Yes except that lobby wants to get rid of that station. AAA is an auto industry lobby funded by people, most of whom would drop their membership like a stone if they heard precisely what they actually lobby for.

Obviously, that's why there's a AAA discount on Amtrak. They hate passenger rail.
Just like they hate hotels and Disneyland!

I'm pretty sure that when that discount was instated, they did.

for the last 3 or 4 years, I've kept my AAA membership, thanks to deals that I found on Slickdeals.net. I've never paid more than $43 for a one year membership(with two additional members). I never let it renew and just sign up for a new membership each years.

At first, I just wanted it for the roadside assistance benefits. However, the 10% discount on Amtrak has more than paid for the $43 membership fee. Last year alone, I must have gotten $120 off Amtrak fares.

I wouldn't say they lobby congress to take money away from rail for road improvements.

You might not say it. But it is true. It's other offenses however are worse.

Straight from the horses, er, lion's a... mouth. AAA hates Mickey Mouse!

Ok.. I will ask the unasked question... Why does AAA hate Disneyworld? Disneyland? Mickey Mouse??

They don't. Green Maned Lion is either being ridiculous or ignorant.

Or right.
