Beginning with the launch of the program this month, all AAA Southern New England members will receive membership cards with prepaid card functionality upon renewal of their annual membership. Once activated with the prepaid payment functionality, members will be able to use their prepaid card at millions of locations worldwide where American Express Cards are accepted. Those seeking to receive membership cards with prepaid card functionality prior to their membership expiration can do so by requesting a new card anytime after the launch date.
Budgeting tools allow cardmembers to manage their account online, view real-time transaction history, and set up alerts to receive balance and transaction information. Reloading funds can be scheduled automatically.
