The American Automobile Association or AAA was created in order to help drivers in any way possible, which also involves helping them with hotel stays on their travels.

This is why AAA has made deals with certain hotels to give special rates for their members. This means that if you're an AAA member, you can use your member's card to get hotel discounts all over America.

For example, you can save up to 20% on stays at Best Western International hotels in USA and Canada just by showing your AAA member's card!

Starwood Hotels & Resorts will knock off 15% from the room rate and will provide you with two free breakfasts.

Hyatt Hotels & Resorts and Choice Hotels give 10% discount each to AAA members.

Staying at a hotel from the chains like Marriott Hotels or Hilton Hotels & Resorts, will result in 5% discount if you come with your AAA card.

It seems that having the AAA member's card is a wise choice if you travel often. The AAA clubs are run independently from state to state, so the yearly membership rates vary quite a lot. Usually, the membership costs between $35 and $80 per year.
