Everyone loves a night at the movies, right? But nowadays, going to the movies with your whole family can be pretty pricey. 

That is until now. Thanks to CAA, you can buy four General Admission movie tickets for just $34 plus tax when you buy it at CAA Stores and show off your CAA membership card. This special offer is only on until December 31, so it’s the perfect time to lasso the whole family for some movie fun over the holiday season. 

In addition to getting your movie tix for a sweet deal, you can even earn your SCENE points when you redeem them online or at the theatres, too! 

With so many amazing movies coming to theatres around the holidays, you’ll be glad you took advantage of this bargain, plus you can get a group together and have a fun night out! 

Can’t make it to a CAA store to buy your tickets by December 31? 

Don’t stress because there’s a great Cineplex deal for CAA members just waiting for you year-round. You can save up to 18% on General Admission, Seniors, and Child Adventure movie tickets.

While we all know that being a CAA member will help keep you safer on the roads, there are over 124,000 participating retail locations and services in North America where you can snag exclusive deals as part of CAA Rewards. Believe it or not, CAA Members have saved a total $32.8 million in 2019 alone on shopping, dining, tickets and more!

7 Ways Your CAA Membership Can Save You Money

Overspending is a fear that many have when holiday shopping, but not anymore! From now until the end of the year, you can expect to see some amazing deals in-store and online, and we’ve got an extra trick up our sleeve that will score you an extra perk just for shopping! 

This holiday season, you can actually earn money just for being a CAA Member.

That’s right! To be more specific, you can actually get a $20 Yorkdale Shopping Centre gift card when doing your shopping this holiday season, all thanks to CAA Rewards. 

To get your $20 gift card, all you have to do is get a Tourist Privileges Pass and to get one, simply show your CAA Membership card to any representative at a Guest Services Kiosk. 

Once you have your Tourist Privileges Pass, you can get your $20 gift card by spending over $200 or more in same-day receipts at participating stores and you’ll receive a $20 gift card to the mall.

Yes, you’re basically getting paid to shop — how cool is that?

If you’re not planning on spending $200, know that CAA members can get a Yorkdale tote bag and exclusive discounts at stores like NYX Cosmetics, MUJI, Levi’s, David’s Tea, Alex and Ani, and more just for being a member.

And if Yorkdale’s too far of a trek for you, you can get the same deal at Square One Shopping Centre — just show your CAA Membership card and you can also take advantage of similar perks.

Can’t make it into the mall to shop?

You can shop through the CAA website and earn CAA Dollars for shopping online. You can use CAA Dollars to help pay for your CAA Membership, movie ticket and attraction tickets at CAA stores, and more. 

If you’re not a CAA Member — why not? This special offer is just one of the sweet perks that comes with your membership.

Not only can your CAA card give you that extra peace of mind when driving, but when you’re a member, you have a full library of exclusive CAA Rewards offers to take advantage of. 

You can also save or earn big on hotels, travel, entertainment, local entertainment, movie tickets, fuel, your favourite retailers, car rentals, and restaurants. In total, there are over 124,000 participating retail locations and services.

When it comes to driving, having peace-of-mind is something you can’t put a price on. If you’re in distress and need a tow, run out of gas, or get locked out of a car (knock on wood), it’s an incredible relief to know that a reliable hand is just one phone call away, and that’s why we love CAA

With your membership, it’s not your vehicle that has coverage, it’s you. So if you’re with a friend and they run into the same car troubles, they can reap the benefits of CAA, too. 

With that being said, having a membership of your own can benefit you in more ways than just car troubles. For money-savvy individuals, the annual fee actually pays for itself in discounts and perks through the CAA Rewards program. Plus a CAA Membership gives you the freedom, choice, and flexibility you need to live your best life. 

Here are seven of our favourite ways to save money with a CAA Membership:

Shopping

One CAA Rewards perk that some might not know about is the ability to earn CAA Dollars. CAA has partnerships with a ton of worldwide retailers, which means that some of your favourites are probably on the list. With retailers like ALDO, Indigo, Sephora, TOMS, and more, you can earn CAA Dollars when you shop online, which you can later use towards renewing your CAA Membership, travel or a hotel stay when booking through CAA Travel, and much more. Each CAA Dollar is valued at one Canadian dollar, so there’s no math needed when you do your exchange. If shopping online isn’t your thing, hit the mall and use your CAA card at retailers like RW&CO., The Source, Addition Elle, and more for instant savings. 

Hotels

Perhaps one of our favourite perks that can be scored through CAA Rewards are the hotel perks. Accommodation discounts aren’t the easiest to snag, and vacations are already expensive enough as it is. But with CAA Rewards, you can get discounts of up to 10% off at hotels all across the globe, including at world renowned places like Marriott Hotels and Resorts, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, and the Park Hyatt, to name a few. 

Travel Entertainment

Have you ever wanted to see the Manhattan skyline from the water? Or tour Chicago on a segway? Or travel to the happiest place on earth, aka Walt Disney World? Well, those tours, attractions, and more are available at a discount with a CAA Membership. All you have to do is flash your membership card at the time of purchase. For a full list of the tours available, just visit CAA Rewards.

Local Entertainment

Getting out of the house to do something fun has never been easier or more affordable! Depending on where you’re based, you’ll have a bevy of different entertainment options. For example, in the greater Toronto area, you can score discounted tickets to Mirvish Theatre, Canada’s Wonderland, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and a trip up the CN Tower. 

Or if you’re based somewhere like British Columbia, you can find discounts for attractions like the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the Vancouver Zoo, the Scandinave Spa, and more. There’s so much to explore!

Movie Tickets

Calling all movie buffs! If you’re the type that loves catching a flick on the big screen, you’ll be happy to hear that CAA Members can save up to 18% on Cineplex movie tickets in Ontario  — all you have to do is head to the closest CAA Store to purchase. Whether you’re looking for senior, child adventure, or general admission tickets, you’ll find a discount, and the tickets are even valid for earning SCENE points, so you’re getting a double whammy of perks. 

If you’re elsewhere in Canada, take for instance, British Columbia, you can score cheap movie tickets and snacks deals of up to 30% off at Landmark Cinemas.

Gas

When you link your CAA card with your Petro-Points, you can earn 20% more Petro-Points every time you fill up your tank or make a purchase (some exclusions apply) at a Petro-Canada. Again, it’s a double whammy of perks. Those Petro-Points can be used on more gas, snacks for your next road trip, or they can even be exchanged for CAA Dollars, and you already know what those can do! 

Dining Out

Eating out doesn’t have to be a big production that costs an arm and a leg. In fact, there are restaurants all over the country that’ll give you a free item or a sweet discount when you tell them that you’re a CAA Member. Some of the restaurants that have exciting offers cooking up include Swiss Chalet, New York Fries, Milestones’, East Side Mario’s, and more. 

Some things aren’t too good to be true. To start saving on all of the above and more, sign up for a CAA Membership here

Here’s How To Get Free Stuff From All Your Favourite Brands

A trip to Canada’s Wonderland is a summer must if you’re visiting Toronto, especially since it’s located just a short drive away from the city in Vaughan. From classic rides like the iconic Antique Carousel and Snoopy’s Revolution, to seat-clenching roller coasters like the new Yukon Striker and the cloud grazing Leviathan, the amusement park is fun for the entire family. 

Like any trip, it’s always smart to head in with a plan. Along with a plan of which rides you want to hit up, you might want to make a plan for how to get the most bang for your buck, too. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to have a great family outing! 

From where to score discounted tickets to what to bring along, we’ve rounded up 5 ways to save money at Canada’s Wonderland. 

1. Buy your tickets with your CAA Membership.

This is hands down one of the simplest ways to score discounted tickets to Canada’s Wonderland. Before visiting the park, visit www.caawonderland.com and purchase tickets for up to 38% off! Depending on what you’re looking for, there’s an offer to suit your needs. Attending with your family? Grab the discounted 4-pack of tickets with free parking. Always hungry? Grab the discounted day ticket with all day dining that gets you free meals throughout your visit. Or just grab the classic option that scores you savings for single day admission — you can’t go wrong with any of CAA’s Canada’s Wonderland packages

2. Have a picnic.

If you’re looking for another way to cut costs, think about packing a picnic for you, your family, and friends. You’ll save a huge chunk of cash not having to spend upwards of $20 per person for a meal. While you’re not allowed to bring outside food or drink inside the park, you can pack a cooler or picnic basket in your car and enjoy it with your group in the public picnic pavilion, which can be found just outside Canada’s Wonderland’s front gates. Additionally, there are tons of spots you can grab a seat around the parking lot — we also saw some tailgating when we visited. Re-entry is permitted in the park (excluding during Halloween Haunt or WinterFest), so you’re free to leave for a midday break. Just be sure to have your hand stamped at the front gate!  

3. Share a car with friends.

driving

Parking will add $22 dollars to your day at the park. We highly recommend carpooling to save on your dollar spent per person. Or take public transit and you won’t have to worry about finding your car in a crowded parking lot at the end of the day. With the TTC subway extension that goes into Vaughan, getting to Canada’s Wonderland from Toronto is a breeze.

4. Grab an all-season drink refill.

The drinks at the park are pretty pricey and you need to drink a lot to stay hydrated under the heat of the sun. If you forget your reusable water bottle at home, we highly recommend purchasing the souvenir bottle, which offers free refills on your visit for just $15.99 in the park, $12.99 online, or consider grabbing the Ride & Refresh CAA bundle which includes one Regular Park Admission & All-You-Can-Drink Wristband. If you plan on visiting Canada’s Wonderland more than once, you might want to consider splurging on the season drink refills souvenir bottle, which offers unlimited refreshments for the price of $32.99. It may seem expensive, but the cost of drinks add up quick!

5. Pack smart.

packing

Perhaps our number one takeaway from our visit to the park: pack and dress smart! The main things we suggest bringing are comfortable shoes, a swimsuit for the waterpark, sunscreen, towels, a hat, and a refillable water bottle, which you can refill with water at a baby cafe centre. Bonus tip: if you can, bring a stroller. Your kids will need it and you won’t have to splurge on lockers. With lockers for rent ranging from $17-30, bringing your stroller around to store your belongings while in the park. Make sure to keep an eye on it though!
