AIR MILES and the Alberta Motor Association (AMA – part of CAA) have teamed to offer a bonus miles when you purchase an AMA Plus Membership. On top of the bonus miles the offer also waives the one time enrollment fee of $20. This offer is available for Alberta residents who purchase a new memberships by November 12, 2023 using the promo code AIRMILES.
A one year AMA Plus membership currently runs $142 and the 500 miles are worth $50 to $52.50 depending on what you redeem them for. That’s a pretty good rebate for the membership which in itself provides roadside assistance and discounts at hundreds of retailers. Personally, I am an AMA Plus member and just over the past week alone it saved me nearly $70 on some new Nokian winter tires I purchased at Kal-Tire.
As it is also considered a CAA membership you’ll also be able to get the great discounts offered for hotel stays around the world. A lot of times the discount can be as low as booking cheaper non-refundable prepaid rates. However, the CAA/AAA rates typically don’t require prepayment and have very flexible cancellation policies. Yes, I know many people book AAA/CAA rates without being a member and avail of the discount but in the past I have been asked by some hotels to show my membership at check in and some even require you to input your membership number at time of booking. Better to be safe than sorry!
