I Had No Idea T-Mobile Offered This Amazing Perk
T-Mobile is making it easier than ever to get covered on the road.

I tell you, every day...I learn something new.
So, I live in the Northeast and the thought of being stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire or a dead battery is something I don't ever want to experience again.
Two words--Nor'Easter weather. But that's a story for another day.
Recently, I discovered something that completely blew my mind: T-Mobile offers a free year of AAA Basic or Classic membership to eligible customers.
Yes—free roadside assistance and a whole lot more.
For anyone who owns a vehicle, AAA will come in clutch, making it easier than ever to get covered and not spend two hours in a car on empty.
Again, this is a story for another time.
So, what exactly does a Basic or Classic AAA membership include?
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance: This is the core of AAA. Whether you need a tow, a jump-start, fuel delivery, or help to change a flat tire, AAA is there to help, nationwide.
- Discounts and Deals: Your AAA membership unlocks a world of savings at various shops, restaurants, hotels, and even on movie tickets.
- AAA App: The AAA app is a powerful tool at your fingertips. You can use it to find the best gas prices nearby, access travel information, discover AAA Diamond-rated hotels and restaurants, and more.
Here are some key things to know about this T-Mobile perk
- Eligibility: This offer is available to T-Mobile customers with an active voice line on select Go5G and Magenta plans, including business plans. (See the full list of eligible plans at the end of this post.)
- One Redemption Per Account: You can redeem this offer once per T-Mobile/Sprint account and once per AAA member household.
- Existing AAA Members: If you're already an AAA member, T-Mobile will cover your next Basic or Classic renewal payment. If you have a Plus or Premier membership, they'll cover the Basic/Classic portion, and you'll pay the difference.
- Coverage is for You, Not Your Car: Your AAA membership covers you in any covered vehicle you're driving or riding in.
