T-Mobile: 1-Year Free AAA Subscription - 2024
Why is AAA asking for a credit card number, expiration date and 3-digit code. The membership is FREE for the first year. There is absolutely no reason for AAA to have a T-Mobile Customer's credit car...
Free services are always like this whether T-Mobile offers it as benefit, or you get it some other way. Of course, they hope you will like the service and will want to continue, at your expense, after the free period is over. You can always remove your payment information, and you can cancel before the free period ends.
I made a list called "Renewals" in the Reminders app of my phone. Immediately after signing up for (or renewing) something, free or paid, I set a reminder for about 2 weeks before the thing is due to renew.
Re. AAA -- my AAA club processed the annual payment about a month before the end of my subscription year. I think this is because of the expense of printing the cards, which are mailed well in advance. I had been on the fence about renewing it. I decided to keep it, but I set next year's reminder 6 weeks before the end of my year.
So, after I entered my credit card information for the "free" 1-year AAA Subscription, i was linked to a page where I was supposed to create an account on the AAA site. I was directed to enter my email address and then a password. I created a password and confirmed my password; at which time I was directed to make my "password stronger by adding punctuation", which I did. However there was no "button" on the page to "Submit", so I hit the "Return" key, which took me to a page that told me I was unauthorized to be on that page.
Based on my personal experience with T-Mobile & this. "Free" AAA Subscription, I don't believe hoops and aggravation are worth it. I would not recommend this to any other customer. Nothing is truly "free".
