I get asked about 30% of the time to show my AAA card. My perception is that your odds of being asked are lower at MHRS and Renaissance; odds of being asked to show are higher at the select service properties (Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites).

I've been asked for both my Entertainment card and my AAA card when I've booked using these discounts.
The AAA card is worth it for me because I use the discounts on everything from hotels to local amusement parks.

The interesting thing is that AAA sends you a new card when they send you the bill for the coming year, so if you dont renew, you still have your card. You wouldnt be able to use it for roadside service and other AAA things, but for a hotel you would be able to use it, even if you chose not to renew.

The funny thing is that the card works when your car won't start because when you call it in they can see your real expiration date.

( I always put my thumb over the date when showing card)

Not sure.....but my experience is that AAA rates are usually higher than rates you can find with various codes and on the web.....Just my two cents....

You can call your auto club to make absolutely sure that there is some sort of reciprocal agreement with AAA.
In reality, I have never had a AAA rate challenged at any Marriott property I've stayed. As already mentioned, the discount is usually modest.

I found a 149$ AAA rate at the JW Marriott Orlando. Usually AAA rates include breakfast (buffet??) so I think that it should be the lowest available rate for this property?
