  I have one of those AAA VISA cards ($6/year, through Rocky Mountain Bankcards)
too. I don't use it much, because I have another free VISA card at my credit 
union. The credit union also offers free checking with 6% interest, as opposed 
to the 5.75% the banks pay. The second card from AAA serves to increase my
credit limit (which I may need soon, as I'm buying my first place and don't
want to use the crappy furniture I now have, and I will need some applicances
too), and I get free American Express travelers checks from the local AAA
office (i.e. without the normal 1% fee). Of course, it costs $35/year to
belong to AAA. You do get some benifits for this, but it just goes to show:
They get you one way or another.
