St. Louis Rams teaming up with AAA for ticket discounts

After achieving more victories last season than in the previous three, the St. Louis Rams are looking to build off the momentum of a strong year and bring some excitement to the Edward Jones Dome with second-year quarterback Sam Bradford leading the way.

As the Rams battle for supremacy in the NFC West, AAA members will be able to enjoy all the excitement at a discount with savings at five home games this season through the AAA Members, Friends and Family Discount. The discount will be available when the Rams take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 11, the Washington Redskins on Oct. 2, the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 30, the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 27 and the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 18.

Ticket prices for the games are $49 (400 level end zone), $70 (400 level mid field), $80 (100 level end zone), and $145 (Club Level). The savings on these tickets range from $10 to $15 per ticket.

To order tickets, visit www.stlouisrams.com/aaa and enter the promotional code “AAA.” You will have the option to print your tickets immediately or have them placed at the Will Call window at the Edward Jones Dome. Convenience fees apply.

After an accident, AAA app offers assistance

No matter if it’s a minor fender-bender or a major collision, being involved in a wreck can be traumatic, and motorists often don’t know what steps to take when they step out of their dented car.

But AAA can help with a free downloadable form you can keep in your glove box. And for a more high-tech solution, there’s the new AAA Insurance app for iPhones. Both checklists make it easy to gather the necessary information in the event of an auto accident.

“Being involved in a collision can be very stressful, even if no one is injured,” said Bob Schreiber, vice president of AAA Insurance. “It can be overwhelming, but having step-by-step instructions can ease your fears and help you handle the incident properly to make the claims process run smoothly.”

Both the form, available at AAA.com in the insurance section, and the free AAA Insurance app advise motorists to move their damaged car if operable to the shoulder of the road and out of the way of traffic before gathering information. Do not argue, accuse anyone or make any admission of blame, and call law enforcement authorities and medical assistance if necessary.

The AAA Insurance app is handy because it provides one-touch access to call: police and emergency services; AAA to request a tow; and the AAA Insurance claims department for AAA Insurance policyholders. The app also is beneficial because users can document the incident, as well as take photos of the damage with their phone. Users can e-mail a report from their iPhone.

Available for free at AAA.com/mobile, the AAA Insurance app is the fourth free iPhone app offered by AAA. The AAA Discounts app uses GPS technology to display AAA Show Your Card & Save® locations. AAA Roadside enables members who need roadside assistance to send their location and breakdown details to AAA. And AAA TripTik® Mobile provides turn-by-turn navigation and locates hotels, restaurants and gas stations with current fuel prices.
