During Tough Economic Times, Remeber Your Health - Save with your AAA Membership on Necessities from Prescriptions to Eyeglasses
Focus on health by using the benefits of the world’s largest member discount program
Helena, Mont. 2/24/09 - Over 2.6 million American jobs were lost in 2008, and many of those currently unemployed also find themselves without vital medical benefits. Many more also start the New Year in dire financial situations; forced to make difficult decisions on where to make cuts in household budgets. Unfortunately, some people may consider cuts in areas that will affect their long-term health and wellness. AAA’s Show Your Card & Save® program can ease the present financial difficulties with savings on products and services that are crucial to health including prescription medications, eyeglasses and fitness equipment.
AAA members can save an average of 24 percent on all prescriptions at more than 59,000 participating pharmacies nationwide. This discount also applies to prescriptions for furry family members that can be filled at a traditional pharmacy and lifestyle drugs typically not covered by insurance. Additional savings are available for mail order prescriptions. AAA prescription savings is not insurance and savings are only available at participating pharmacies.
