Be prepared to show proof of AAA membership
I am staying at a Marriott this weekend and would like to take advantage of the AAA rate. However, I am not currently an AAA member. If I sign up in the next few days, will I be able to take advantage of the rate? For that matter, how often does the front desk ask to see proof of AAA membership?

I am an AAA member. Often, I stay on AAA rates, however, I have never once been asked for my card. Use this information at your own peril.
Frankly, an AAA membership is a pretty good deal anyway. My wife has had a couple of blowouts on the highway with the kids and AAA was a major time and money saver.

I've been asked for the card about 30% of the time. Of course, I am a member. It is a good deal. Wonder what happens if you cannot produce the card when asked?

I have been asked twice at Marriott brands for my AAA card. Once at the Marriott in Montreal I could not access my card easily, but the hotel was insistant on seeing my card before giving me the AAA rate. Many other times, however, we weren't even asked for the card. Good Luck-

I am (for years now) a AAA and a AARP member - and very often these rates are the lowest ones accessable for me - I have been asked twice (out of a total of 100 stays?) to show my card, once at the SEA-TAC-Marriott and once at the SFO Airport Marriott..

may be they ask me so seldom (2 out of about 100 times) because I already list my membership# under Informations/requests online when making the reservation.

Just stayed at Marriott Prague on AA rate, they asked for id and made copy of the card. First and only time I had ever been asked for id on this rate.
