It's amazing to read how many people get such value out of it. I guess the math is different for everybody. With $150 roadside from my insurance company and the tow limits on AAA the gap which it would be helpful for towing is pretty small for me. I'd have spent well over a thousand on membership at this point, don't mind having that in my pocket instead of the magazine.
Can't argue with more cash in your pocket for those used tires you like to buy.
