How to “Double Dip a Membership”

Do you like to travel or get on the road? Do you use a certain product or service frequently? You may consider getting a membership from companies that reward those products or services you have always used or wanted if you have never thought about it. Here are two examples that illustrate why you should do it and how to do it:


1. If you or your love one own or use a vehicle that always need mechanical assistance, if not may use some on the freeway or while away from home… it is may be the time for you to start thinking about getting a roadside assistance membership. There are many companies out there that can help your with your car and save you some money. If you cannot find one, check out the American Automobile Association or AAA for instance. Instead of calling the towing company, call them and to obtain the membership. While you will 0nly get a limited service on that day, you will save money while you are getting a yearly membership - your first full service will start nearly a week after getting the membership. Since in most cases, if you call a towing company, you’ll get charged at least $50 hookup fees and $2.5 per mile and you do the math for your destination. So, if you have at least AAA Plus membership (For $97), you are guaranteed four (4) free tows up to 100 miles each from their towing partners. Yet, with their yearly membership, you will continue to enjoy all the savings (Promotion, discounts…) that come with the card at certain hotels, when shopping for car insurance, restaurants, and many of their major partners.



2. Sky mileage - Sign up for it and it is free. Most major airline companies offer free membership in terms of sky mileage to attract and make their customers to become frequent flyers and so to reward them with free airline ticket, hotel room, car rental… after they have accumulated a required number of miles or points… So, if you are taking a flight and you don’t have a membership with the airline you have booked the ticket with, you should always think about getting the membership with that company to have the mileage you will be travelling to be credited to your account. You can also do this for your kind (s) if you have any and you will find the membership very useful specifically if you are the one who pays for the ticket. If you have already purchased the ticket without adding your membership number, all you have to do is to go online and see if the airline offers a membership. If so, sign up for it, get the number and make sure you present it at the when checking in online or at the ticket counter at the airport. When the time comes where you have accumulated the required mileage to obtain the free airline ticket, hotel room, or car rental day…, and if applicable, all you may have to pay for will be the taxes and you will be on your way to more savings…
