Does AT&T give discounts to AAA members?
AT&T is a leading telecommunications company in America that offers phone services such as mobile phones, internet, and television services for its numerous clients. AAA, previously known as the American Automobile Association, is an organization comprising motor clubs across the United States that offer automotive club services. One of the most frequently asked questions is whether AAA membership would give customers more discounts on AT&T services.
In a nutshell, yes, AT&T does provide specific AAA membership discounts for its customers. Yet, the specifics of these savings and how to get them are often not advertised or explained to the masses. This article will include information on what discounts exist if there are any conditions involved, and how to sign up for the AT&T and AAA discount program.
AT&T AAA Discount Overview
AT&T offers two main types of discounts for AAA members.
1. $45 off activation fees – New AAA customers simply activate an AT&T Internet wireless plan and get up to $45 off the activation fees. This applies to new smartphone lines, tablets, and smartwatches as well.
2. AAA members can get an autopay/paperless billing option to be eligible for the 10% discount every month on the service plans. This is for unlimited talk, text, and data only.
The above discounts are valid for any state or club that is affiliated with AAA. However, the subscription must be active and in existence at the time of enrolling with AT&T services. Any membership that one might have with the social site must not be disconnected or expired.
How to get AT&T AAA Discounts?
Regarding the 10% wireless service discount offered by AAA, you have to go to one of the AT&T retail store locations with an active AAA membership. Here are the step-by-step instructions.
1. Make sure that you have an active membership card AAA showing your membership number and date of expiration.
2. Present this card to any corporate-owned retail store of AT&T. AAA discounts are not processed by authorized retailers as well as independent stores.
3. Speak to an AT&T sales representative and inform them that you wish to associate your AAA membership to get the 10% monthly service rate.
4. Inform AAA about your AAA info and check the availability of the discounts.
5. Acquire a new line of wireless service (or upgrade an existing one). Choose one of the available unlimited data plans that meet the eligibility requirements.
6. Sign up for autopay and no-paper billing.
7. The 10% monthly discount will take effect on the following month when you are billed again. In the first 1-2 billing months, you may experience partial discounts.
If you want activation fees not to be charged, make sure that you present a valid AAA card during the time of the first device purchase or the addition of new lines of service. There are no additional procedures to follow when signing up.
