User Rating:Admittedly, when I like to travel I like to know when I can get a discount anywhere. With that in mind, I downloaded and installed the AAA Discount application to let me know if I could get any discounts in my vicinity (note: one requires a AAA membership to get these discounts, which I have).
I tried the app on an iPod Touch rather than an iPhone, and therefore requires an active Wi-Fi connection rather than the always on iPhone 3G network.
Most of the places that were shown in my vicinity were drugstores. AAA offers a discount perscription plan, so there was no surprise there. There was also a car rental company discount local in my area and a 10% off coupon at Payless Shoes (I’m not sure if that exists at every Payless location). I was hoping for discounts at something more concreate that I could use (like the local Apple store for example), but thats not a function of the app, but rather AAA agreements with merchants.
If you select one of the discount locations, the app will give you point-to-point directions to get there.
I think what keeps this app from being a 5 star app is that you can only find the discounts near you. For example, I’ll be travelling to Las Vegas and Los Angeles in the coming months and it would be nice to know what sort of discounts I could get in those locations well before I physically travel there.
It’s a nice application to own and certainly has its uses if you’re a AAA member. Maybe the next version will add the ability to select a location?
Pros: Useful. Easy to use.
Cons: Can’t input locations other than current one.
