Our Verdict
This deal is usually offered twice a year, once in May and then again in November. It’s odd they aren’t advertising it online this time, but it is being advertised in magazine Keep in mind these purchases are tracked to your name and they sometimes shut people down. You can read more about that here or here. This usually codes as insurance or club services, I don’t think any cards earn a category bonus on these purchases.Usually it’s offered in AAA mid Atlantic offices. Our datapoint of it working comes from AAA Northway.

Any opportunity to use AAA vouchers and redeem BofA points for more than 1cent per point?
My Amex Blue Cash still has the 5% on insurance, wonder if that would code
I was given a ‘cash only’ reply when I stopped in to AAA in Missouri
The one in Kansas City?
Anyone know if this is available in the Houston area?

Went today to get my third $2000 batch. (carolinas aaa). First two went smoothly and I split payment b/w 2 cc’s. Today got a rookie who had to make a phone call to find out how to do the transaction. She said the monthly limit was $5000, but she got authorization to make the 3rd $2000 purchase, but now I am shut out til mid Jan. when of course the fee will apply. I thought I remembered seeing a $10000 limit by 31 Dec but now I can’t find it on the website and I never read the magazine and tossed it. I will go back and see if I can get the same CSR as the earlier visit who may not be a stickler for details
Met the spend requirements on 3 venture x cards at the Irmo (s.carolina) location. No questions asked at 10k each. The older blonde haired lady working there knows what is up but doesn’t care.
Does anyone know if AAA in Cali(hernia) are available? The site online always seems to dislike LA or adjacent Zip codes!
Are there any reports of CA or FL honoring?
Would like to know as well.
As of 11/6: AAA Minneapolis sells fee-free Visa GCs but there’s a major catch: they only accept cash. There’s not much of a MS opportunity there!
I can confirm this is working in the Chicagoland area. My local office limits purchases to $2k per calendar month, so this is of somewhat limited value.
Worth a look, as these are Metabank and the AAA by my family is next to a WM…
I believe the max is $1k per visit ($500 denominations). Friendly reminder that PIN for these specific AAA cards must be set over the phone.
