AAA Discounts for iPhone

AAA Discounts is a new location-aware iPhone app designed to help users find AAA member savings at more than 110,000 AAA Show Your Card & Save locations in North America.

As expected, the application uses iPhone’s location capabilities (cellular triangulation or GPS coordinates) to show AAA locations on a map. Moreover, it also displays key information including the name, address, phone, distance from location and a summary of the discount details. Users can filter listings by category and have one click access to narrative directions.

You don’t have to be an AAA member in order to use app. However, you need that in order to take advantage of savings and access RESPONSE-based roadside assistance…

In a nutshell, if you’re not an AAA member forget this app or at least think about becoming a member. AppStore link is here.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
