i'm seeking the collective knowledge of the list on AAA roadside
assistance memberships.  i have a membership right now that my girlfriends
mom bought us last year because she was paranoid about our cross country
road trip.  i have only used the thing twice once when i ran out of gas
around town because my gauge was reading wrong, and once when i locked my
keys in the van.  the tow driver couldn't get in with all his stuff and
after a 40 min. wait and 20 min. of him failing i got pissed and took
apart the window and let myself in.

so this is my question its time to renew the membership, they want $45 to
renew for a year.  the thing is that i have heard people speak of this
mythical "AAA gold card" that lets you have towing for a 100 miles.
people have said that you get offered this option after a year of being a
member.  i have received no such offer and if i were to renew this might
be the only reason that i did.  how do i get the 100 mile towing benefit?
