Card offers Triple Points on Travel and AAA Purchases

Helena, Mont., (March 22, 2011) – AAA and Bank of America announced the launch of the new AAA Member Rewards Visa credit card from Bank of America. The card provides triple points on all qualifying travel and AAA purchases, double points for gas, grocery and drug store purchases and one point for every dollar spent on all other purchases.

“At a time when many credit card programs are cutting back on how consumers can earn points and rewards, AAA has developed a credit card for its members unlike any other on the market,” said Tara Hanley, AAA Spokeswoman. “The AAA Member Rewards Visa makes it easy to quickly accumulate points on everyday necessities, such as gasoline and groceries, in addition to substantial travel rewards.”

Cardholders can redeem points for a variety of rewards, including branch vouchers, Approved Auto Repair Facility vouchers, one percent cash back starting at 5,000 points, gift cards at over 100 retailers and restaurants, travel on major airlines with no blackout dates, hotel, car rentals and merchandise such as electronics and sporting goods. In addition to reward points, card member benefits include 2,500 bonus points after your first purchase within the first 90 days, enough for the first reward, no limit to the number of points earned, 24-hour access to concierge service and $500,000 automatic travel accident insurance.

“We’re pleased to build on our successful and long-standing affinity partnership with AAA,” said Andres De Armas, affinity card and banking executive for Bank of America. “This new AAA card delivers some of the richest travel rewards in the industry and provides enhanced value back to AAA members. The card offers their members maximum earning power and a wide variety of redemption choices – with no tiers or limits.”
