I overheard the AAA rep turning away the person next to me because he had bought too many. She was explaining to him that it's a rolling limit within a 30 day period. So you're probably not permanently banned. Just wait 30 days from your last purchase and you should be able to buy another $7500 worth. (Of course, by then there will be a fee, but if they have another promotion, don't despair.)

This year, I placed my first order early so that I could wait 30 days and place a second order while the fee was still waived.

AAA vgcs need the pin to be activated by calling the number on the back of the card to the automated system.
I didn't realize and tried using last 4 digits like a reg vgc and got the card frozen.
Hopefully will unfreeze after 24 hours as someone mentioned to me is the norm...

AAA New York gave me an order form to fill out, where it said they accept Mastercard and Visa.

@FreequentFlyr: If you're still alive, free AAA GC are back. Go nuts. NB: must call to set PIN (not last 4). https://t.co/Rj64zeN2LN/s/NJhB

Brooklyn location told me that amex treats these as cash advance, so I got 3k on a visa by Chase.
They asked for membership id card

Can anyone refute this? It is particularly relevant right now as I am sure most of you understand.

Limit on total amount or limit on 10 cards. 4200 seems like odd limit? 10 cards is a logical #.

Here in PIT they did NOT have the offer. I took the plunge and forked over the $4.95. It's a one-time fee and future loads are free. Is that not how it works in NY?

They don't ask for ID only a membership card? So I could use someone else's (my dad's) membership card and get $500 cards with no fee?? (Up to $2k)

Do you get 2X points with Chare Sapphire or 3X points with the new Citi ThankYou Premier when buying from AAA?
