Sprint (NYSE: S) and AAA have deepened their 15-year relationship to bring additional benefits to AAA’s more than 50 million U.S. members. Beginning immediately, AAA members can receive significant benefits from Sprint, including payment of AAA Classic membership renewal fees and discounts on Sprint’s unlimited calling plans.

Under the new agreement, Sprint will renew the AAA Classic membership for primary and associate members as long as they remain eligible Sprint customers and register at www.Sprint.com/AAA. Sprint will also offer the Unlimited Freedom rate plan to AAA members for just $35 per line a month for four lines – a $5 monthly discount per line. As the most inexpensive unlimited data plan, Sprint’s Unlimited Freedom gives customers unlimited talk, text and data with no access charges or hidden fees. It includes unlimited mobile optimized streaming videos, gaming and music and unlimited 4G LTE data for most everything else.1

Additional benefits of the relationship:

  • AAA members receive a 10 percent discount on all other applicable Sprint rate plans.
  • Sprint customers who are also AAA members will receive a 25 percent discount on eligible accessories.
  • Sprint customers who are also AAA members will receive free access to the Sprint Family Locator2 app, providing the ability to locate a family member’s registered phone. With the app, users can see a loved one’s last available location on a map and receive notifications as soon as they get home.3
  • Sprint will also provide customers easy access on new Android devices to the AAA Mobile app featuring lowest gas prices, member discounts, access to roadside assistance, and AAA’s exclusive travel information, including diamond ratings for hotels and restaurants.

“We are proud of our long relationship with Sprint, and this newly enhanced program will provide our members discounted access to the latest in digital technology,” said Marshall Doney, president and CEO of AAA. “These new mobile technologies, together with free AAA membership renewals, will help members to stay connected with their friends and families and to important roadside assistance help when they need it.”

“Sprint and AAA share the mutual goal of keeping our customers safe, secure and connected when it matters most,” said Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “We are delighted to have this opportunity to ensure our customers have easy access to the important benefits of AAA membership, including roadside assistance and travel discounts. For me, this is much more than just another discount program – it gives Sprint the ability to provide peace of mind for families that count on us.”
