I had the unfortunate experience of not being able to start my car last week.

The car battery had died and I could not get it started so I called and joined CAA.

One thing I did not realize when I joined is that there are all sorts of discounts you can get with your membership. Some of these are travel related, but others are for everyday items.

For example, with this card I can get a 2% discount at any Couche Tard (a convenience store)- including those with gas stations. I don’t spend very much money at convenience stores- but I do buy around $60 in gas every week.

I am going to take a close look at what else I can save with the CAA card.
