Basic to mega premium I can get the top wash (€12) for €5... Or the basic for €5.. I'll always opt for the top wash.. as it's the same price.

mikeecho wrote: » Technically.. no.. but in reality.. I know if someone that uses the AA app.to get 4c off.. then pays with a card for another 4c off and it works for them. Anytime I've tried to use the QR code on the AA app, it never recosnises it.. so I just get the card discount.

antodeco wrote: » Yup. That's how they charge you. Get an invoice and about a week later comes out via direct debit

I don't get the discounted car wash though.. I can put that and stuff like motor oil on it but its full price. Still, for me it's just easier to have one bill a month and not having to worry about having cash on me if I need to fill up
