Welcome to a Day in the Life of a CAA Member! We want to introduce you to Member Sue—today, we’re going to walk through what Sue’s life looks like as she takes advantage of some of the great perks she enjoys as a CAA member. Let’s get started!
Exclusive Savings Everywhere
To start her day, Sue heads to Shell to fuel up for a day of errands. She uses the Shell app to pay, and with Shell EasyPay™, she has her CAA card and her Air Miles already loaded up so earning her points and discounts is easy! Once she’s done fueling up, she heads inside to use her 10% discount on in-store merchandise so she can get a coffee and a snack to energize her for the rest of a busy day.
Carrying on, she sees Dulux Paints and remembers she has a home project she’s been planning to complete in the springtime. Thanks to her membership, she knows she can get 25% off the paint as well as earning 3% in CAA Dollars, so she stops in and grabs the colours she needs!
After this, she heads straight to her local CAA store to meet with a trusted travel consultant to book the upcoming vacation she and her husband are hoping to take. With their help, she gets great discounts and peace of mind knowing the trip will be planned start to finish. She also gets 10% off her travel insurance—she never travels without it!
While she’s there, she remembers her home insurance is renewing in about a month, so she decides to ask the CAA insurance team for a quote to find out if she should consider switching. They let her know about discounts available to members, including a 10% discount when she bundles her home and auto insurance, so she makes a list of the documents they’ll need to make the switch happen!
Pro Tip: Switching isn’t as hard as you think! Check out our recent blog on The Truth About How To Switch Home Insurance and join Sue in making the switch.
Before she leaves the store, she gets 5% cash back in CAA Dollars on a $100 Sobeys gift card so she can earn some money towards her trip before she goes grocery shopping this afternoon. She also sees that she can purchase a Parks Canada pass at 10% off in the store and decides to pick that up as well—she knows the grandkids will love a camping trip this summer!
Next, she heads straight to Kal Tire. She heard they are a new partner with CAA, and she had called them for a brake replacement before summer, as well as getting her winter tires switched! With a 5% discount on products and services, she knows she’s getting a great deal for her vehicle. While she waits, she goes online to the CAA Rewards® portal to see what other deals she can take advantage of to buy a birthday present for her friend’s upcoming celebration. She sees that Ultimate Dining Cards are 5% off using her membership when she buys online, so she snags one of those. She also finds some beautiful jewelry from Hillberg & Berk and earns 6% cashback in CAA Dollars—she knows that will come in handy again for her trip!
Before heading home, she swings by RW&CO. to grab a few new blouses for work. She gets a 10% discount here, making the trip well worth it! After a quick stop at Sobeys to get her groceries, she calls ahead to Pizza Hut to place a pickup order for dinner. Using her membership, she gets 15% off here as well. After a full day of errands, she knows she has earned this treat!
