| 1385016 | 2014-09-30 08:31:00 | Back to the original question, I think it's a good deal. Twice in the last month I've had a flat battery and the AA arrived within 30 minutes to start me - at my home. The battery is only 3 months old but the (aging - like me) alternator had decided to pack an intermittent sad. The AA man diagnosed the alternator problem which I then had fixed by an auto electrician. I certainly got value for money. I'm a fan for the AA SmartFuel scheme. I optimise the discounts by buying fuel in $40 lots and keeping the discounts, then before the discounts expire buy the 50 litre maximum amount to apply the discounts to. The last such transaction was today - because the discount expired today - and I purchased the 50L for a cost of $47 - a saving of around $53 on a pump price of $2/L. Works for me. |

| 1385017 | 2014-09-30 09:04:00 | But deals for fuel discounts should come from Petrol companies for all motorists to benefit - not from AA or supermarkets. So why not? Rather than flyby's or confectionery/beverage discounts. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1385019 | 2014-10-01 08:59:00 | www.state.co.nz I think you are stretching things a bit there - State Roadside Rescue isn't exactly a normal car insurance policy. It is an add-on and at $30 extra for the first two callouts (provided you have a policy with them), it could be argued that it is no better than the AA which does not require an insurance policy. I agree though, that most people would find that deal to be equivalent to an AA membership. |
