[Idyllchat] AAA's Cash Card / North Tuscany

[Barbara Palmer]

AAA is all about selling auto insurance.  I once knew someone who worked 
there.

I, likewise, do what Bob is doing and wonder why I continue doing it.  Just 
in the last week or so, I read an article that claims AAA has lost some 40+% 
of its membership, that they're struggling to come up with enough travel 
opportunities and other things to keep them afloat.  I'm beginning to think 
that only those of us who have been members so long that we still cling to 
them may get to the point of bailing out like others, probably the younger 
set.  I wonder what others do to replace what AAA once offered that no other 
did?   We've been using Capital One abroad as well as for everyday things 
here, including groceries, entertainment, gas, etc., to the extent that 
we've taken 4 round-trip air flights and have over 200k air miles in our 
account.  No blocked seats, any airline, and all for $19 a year fee; newer 
applicants I hear are able to get the same card w/o an annual fee, but it's 
so little that I don't bug them.
