Which credit card to use for AAA?
Does anybody know if AAA gets coded as Travel, or if any cards give bonus points for spend on AAA memberships etc...? From what I can tell on VISA's MCC database my local AAA is listed as having a Merchant Category Code (MCC) of 8675 (Automobile Associations), but not sure if that counts as Travel for those cards that give travel-category-spend bonus
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is inconclusive discussion in this thread:

Start at post 763. Part of the problem is that AAA is a franchise system, and the results may vary by location.

Use the VISA Supplier Locator at https://www.visa.com/supplierlocator/search/index.jsp
I plugged in AAA and 98004, and, to my surprise, found that the Bellevue office is classified as "RESTAURANTS / BARS - 5814"
