As the weather starts to cool, you might be looking for a post-summer financial detox. Your secret weapon to savings? Your CAA Membership isn’t just for roadside emergencies — it’s a community-focused discount and rewards partner that garners you everyday savings.
Your membership offers discounts and perks at more than 100 local Niagara businesses (and 164,000 across North America). Plus, you can earn CAA Dollars® to put toward travel, attractions and even insurance premiums, offsetting the cost of your annual membership.
To get you inspired, here are some ways to get the most from your CAA Membership.
Fuel up for school runs: With kids heading back to school, you can save money on gas for school runs and getting to after-school activities by fuelling up at Shell Canada. As a CAA Member, you can save 3 cents per litre* at participating locations when you swipe your card or use EasyPay™ in the Shell app.
