SAAAvings (the extra a's are for AAA)

I was kicking myself upon leaving the Ernest Hemingway house tour in Key West. It turned out that they had a AAA discount, and I am a member. It would probably make sense to just ask every merchant from whom you purchase something if they have a AAA discount, but it's at least a good idea to keep it in mind for some specific places and services:

Amtrak - 10% discount

Air Travel - I found an American Airlines ticket on AAA.com for $218 that would cost $224 on Orbitz and whose return trip was not even available if looking on AA.com (American Airlines site).

Airport Parking - Upon exiting the parking garage at Miami Airport, present your AAA card for savings of $1/day. At Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport, a similar discount is available.

Hard Rock Cafe - 10% discount

Hertz Car Rental - 5-20% discount (depending on class of car)

LensCrafters - 30% discount

The list goes on. You should have AAA in case you need to be towed even once every couple of years. A membership in AAA South is only $60/year.
