I usually get a good price with AA. The gold membership, plus associate discount, plus asking 'can you do better please',usually meant a close to new member price. But this year they were not from budging from over £300. And that was supposedly including my associate discount. Thieving
So off I toddled to RAC . Hidden somewhere in small print is 'they won't come out to the same problem more than once'.For example , battery fails due to leaving lights on, out they come, battery fails due to -4° , days, weeks, month later, they won't. Flat tyre due to a nail out they come, same tyre has same issue days, weeks, months later, they're not coming. Same for any problem. Or as they tried on Tuesday, and I quote"well can you not fix it?", "the mechanic won't have tools that can help", " can you just put lubricant in yourself", and " we'll give you a phone number of a locksmith we use", " oh it's a key problem. We don't attend those". The last one I had to explain it's wasn't the key that is the issue
I will not use them again.
Whilst I'm ranting it is also ridiculous that new members are given a price that is around 1/3rd of the loyal member's price. Then loyal members have to ask "can I please have a better price".
