To access cash, the card may be used at Visa branded ATMs worldwide by selecting “checking” or inside the bank for a cash advance. Cardholder fees are disclosed in the Terms and Conditions.

At the time of initial purchase only, the cardholder may purchase up to three companion cards with the primary card. These will be tied to the same card account and balance but will have different card numbers. All companion cards will share the same PIN as the primary card. All cards will be fully functional but if one becomes lost or stolen, that card may be cancelled without impacting the use of the other cards. A companion card acts as an immediate replacement card for any lost or stolen card on the account. It is highly recommended to purchase companion cards for this reason.

The daily cash withdrawal maximum is $1,000. There are fees associated with cash withdrawal so these should be included in the total cash amount being requested when making a withdrawal. Ex: $1,000 cash withdrawal plus $3.00 ATM fee will force the transaction to be declined.

The cardholder can reset the PIN by calling customer service at the phone number provided on the back of the card (1-866-674-9621), following the prompts and speaking with a customer service representative who will verify identity and then reset the PIN.

The merchant must be advised of the available balance on the card and may perform a split-tender transaction by charging the card for the available balance and accepting another form of payment such as cash, check or credit card for the remaining amount of the purchase. Since this is a prepaid card, if a negative balance is created, the cardholder is responsible for paying that balance and any fees associated with it.

The International Exchange Rate varies on a daily basis by currency and, in most countries, is posted in the international department of banking institutions or in daily newspapers. There is also an International Transaction Fee of 3% when using the card abroad.

The minimum age is 16 years old to purchase an AAA Visa TravelMoney Card. However, parents may purchase cards for their younger children. If the child is traveling without the parents, it is recommended the child sign the card and for parents to demonstrate how to use the card at an ATM and a merchant prior to traveling.

The PLRV (AAA Plus RV) membership coverage will cover motorcycles and Recreational vehicles, trailers are not covered unless there is sleeping facilities in the trailer (horse trailers) for a person.

No, it is 4 road service calls per member per membership year. This means if you have a membership for you and your spouse, you would be entitled to 4 road service calls plus your spouse would also be entitled to 4 road service calls for that particular membership year. The call services refresh when you renew your membership upon the expiration date of that particular year.

Sorry, we don't tow from garage to garage. We are a road service, not a tow service. We would hope that you call your mechanic and state the problem to them so they can, at that time, tell you what to do. Whether it be to tow to their shop for a diagnostics check, or to a shop that would be able to handle that particular situation. We don't tow away from a garage that we towed into for reasons of price or convenience.

Yes, whether you are a basic, plus, or a plus rv member, you must cover all tolls.

The card may be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, as well as for online and telephone purchases if the card is registered. To register the gift card, the cardholder should go to aaa.myprepaidbalance.com. This card does not have cash access.

The card can be used at any merchant point-of-sale terminal. When making a purchase, the cardholder should select "credit" when using the card and will then sign the purchase slip. If "debit" is selected the terminal will request a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to be entered. PIN functionality is not available on this card.

For online and telephone purchases the card must first be registered at aaa.myprepaidbalance.com. The cardholder's registered address will be used as the billing address for the purchase. If these do not match the purchase may be declined.

Since January 1, 2004, Visa regulations have required issuers to label non-credit products, such as prepaid cards, with the term "debit". Though the card is labeled "debit", cardholders should select "credit" and sign for purchases to indicate the transaction is authorized.

There are several possible scenarios which may cause a transaction to be declined.

1. The merchant selects 'debit' instead of 'credit' to run the transaction.
2. The merchant selects 'gift' instead of 'credit' to run the transaction.
3. The merchant attempts to run the purchase through for more than the available balance on the card. If this happens, the merchant may run a 'split-tender' transaction which allows for dual payment methods. A portion of the purchase may be paid with the Visa Gift card. The remaining amount due may be paid with cash, check or credit card. Since this is a prepaid card, if a negative balance is created, the cardholder is responsible for paying that balance and any fees associated with it.

The card can be registered online at aaa.myprepaidbalance.com by creating a profile which includes the cardholder's email address and a password. Once a profile has been created a Visa Gift Card can be added. Once added, the card's registration details can be updated with the cardholder's name and address. Registering the card provides the additional security required for online and telephone purchases as well as obtaining a replacement card should the card be lost/stolen.

The merchant must be advised of the available balance on the card. The merchant would complete a split-tender transaction and charge the Gift Card for the available balance. The remaining amount of the purchase would require another form of payment such as cash, check or credit card. Since this is a prepaid card, if a negative balance is created, the cardholder is responsible for paying that balance and any fees associated with it.

Yes, the card can be used at a restaurant. However, it is common practice for service-oriented merchants to automatically pre-authorize an additional percentage (often up to 20% over the purchase price) to cover gratuities. For this reason, the card should have an available balance that is 20% greater than the total amount due or it may be declined. Once the receipt has been signed with a final amount due, only that amount will be debited from the card.

Yes, the card can be used at hotels, rental agencies, and selected cruise lines. These merchants may automatically pre-authorize an additional percentage to cover incidental charges that may be incurred. Each entity varies in the amount it may pre-authorize. The cardholder should confirm with merchants their specific payment acceptance policy before using the card. It is recommended that the card be used to pay at the end of a hotel stay or car rental, not for placing reservations, or for an onboard account.

If the card has been lost or stolen, the cardholder should contact customer service by calling the phone number on the back of the card (1-866-674-9621). If the card was registered, the replacement card should arrive within 7-10 business days. There will be a $5.95 fee assessed to the card balance for this service.

If there are fraudulent or unauthorized transactions on a Visa Gift card account, the cardholder should contact customer service immediately (1-866-674-9621); transactions older than 30 days are difficult to dispute. The dispute process begins once all required documentation is received and may take from 90 to 120 days to finalize.

The balance and transaction history for the Visa Gift card can be accessed free of charge at aaa.myprepaidbalance.com or by calling customer service at the phone number provided on the back of the card (1-866-674-9621). A printed statement may be requested from customer service for a fee of $15.00. The available balance includes both completed and pending transactions; however, the transaction history will only display completed transactions.

No.

The card can be used at automatic fuel dispensers (pay-at-the-pump); however, most gas stations will place a hold (pre-authorization) of $75 or more on the card which may remain for several days. To avoid this, it is recommended to pay inside the service station where only the amount of the actual purchase will be charged to the card.

No, this card is not reloadable.

There is a $2.95 inactivity fee after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. Cardholder fees are disclosed in the Terms and Conditions.
