INTRODUCTION
Who We AreAAA represents more than 100 years of service to American families. Its clubs started as member advocates for road and travel services to the new motoring public—a friend/advocate relationship that continues to this day.
Today, there are 37 AAA clubs and 1,100 local AAA offi ces in the U.S. and Canada. AAA currently has 58 million members and a membership renewal rate of almost 90 percent.
What We DoAAA serves its membership in a variety of ways, including:
• 10 million TourBook guides per year• 25 million TripTik map routings per year• 32 million emergency road service calls in
past year• $3.8 billion in travel sales• An affi nity credit card• 27,589 AAA-approved lodgings• More than 7,000 AAA Approved Auto Repair
shops in the U.S. and Canada• 35 national leading brands offering AAA
member-only discounts• $105 billion in member savings every year
on hotels, restaurants and retail outlets with extensive discounts
Trust and LoyaltyWith more than 100 years of proven performance, the AAA brand is trusted implicitly by its members. Unswerving loyalty to everything associated with AAA is a byproduct of this trust and an invaluable benefi t to advertisers who partner with AAA.
AAA PublicationsThe AAA Advertising Network consists of 13 publications (12 magazines and 1 tabloid) with a total audience of more than 18 million households. These titles are the clubs’ method of communicating with their members. These publications are also the best way to reach every AAA household.
Because members value their AAA membership so highly, they welcome these publications in their homes and look to them for exclusive member benefi ts, travel information and advice.
Readers of AAA publications enjoy active lifestyles. They travel, cook, entertain, dine out, attend concerts, enjoy museums and theater, and participate in a wide range of outdoor activities. They are men and women who purchase products, rent cars, stay in hotels and fl y to new destinations.
