Seniors: get a free AAA membership for you and your spouse after fifty years of membership

This valuable freebie is for my wonderful senior Daily Cheapskate readers.  After you have been a AAA member for fifty consecutive years, you can get a free basic AAA membership for you and your spouse (normally $75 + $37) forever.  You have to ask for this discount by calling your state's AAA office; it will not be automatic.  Considering that many people start driving in their teens, it's not uncommon to find members who have held fifty-year AAA memberships.

This freebie tip was given to me by my husband's Uncle Nathan, who has actually been taking advantage of this discount for a couple of years.  The free membership is for the basic AAA plan; you can upgrade from there and pay the difference.
