Budd:
I just called AAA to upgrade my membership to Plus.  They told me that I am
untitled to 4 (four) "100 mile" tows per YEAR for each member on my account
(wife makes 8 total tows).  Interestingly, the rep said I can combine tows such
that I can have my vehicle towed 200 miles at no per mile charge over the 100
miles by sacrificing another service call.  Sounds like they have plenty
experience with "Schmoo" folks!
