Members Save More With AAA

This column often highlights values and savings available to AAA members. You rely on AAA to bring you the best products and services available. You know that your membership entitles you to a better value — even on everyday purchases. It’s a source of great pride for me to know that a AAA membership provides such value.

I’m especially proud to introduce our newest member benefit: a high-yield savings program from Discover Bank. Known primarily for credit cards, Discover Bank has a long and diverse banking history. In business for more than 95 years, Discover Bank is an FDIC-insured institution and is part of Discover Financial Services -— one of the most recognized financial service providers in the United States. Awarded a four-star safety rating by Bankrate.com, Discover Bank is consistently ranked among Bankrate.com’s Top 10 banks.

This new Discover Bank program is exclusively endorsed by AAA and provides members with:

  • Rates that consistently beat the national bank average.
  • No minimum required to open a CD, IRA or Money Market account (Money Market Accounts require a minimum balance of $1,500 after 60 days.)

AAA’s program offers the perfect savings options, and you’ll be amazed at the great rates. Compare with other high-yield savings rates and you’ll see why we’re so excited about this new relationship. For more details or to apply, visit aaa.com/deposits, or call toll-free 1-888-204-8990.

We’re proud to introduce this new benefit, proving yet again that AAA members save more.

President/CEO
