AAC member discount update; how to help your waistline survive the holidays
I
’m so excited to have the opportunity to serve the outstanding county employees and volunteer firefighters all across this great state. I am working to add to the list of discounts that are available to you. Here’s a summary of what we have so far: ADT: Receive a $100 VISA prepaid card and a free ADT Monitored Security System valued at $850 for no activation or equipment costs, and only $99 to completely install. AT&T: •17 percent off voice, data, and tablet plans $35.00 per month and higher. • Free activation • Waived upgrade fees • $75 new service credit when getting a Smartphone and a $39.99 rate plan or higher. This offer is good until March 15, 2013. • $50 new service credit on a $9.99 family line when getting a Smartphone plan. This offer is good until March 15, 2013. AutoZone: •10 percent courtesy discount through Do-It-Yourself (DIY). This is a change from the discount we originally publicized. However, the DIY price actually costs far less than the list cost (which our other plan was based on) and, with the additional 10 percent discount, will actually be a better savings. This new plan is also much more user friendly. Bob’s Pest Services: Saline County area. Average termite control is $98 per year while average pest control is $60 per quarter. Dell: •The Best Price Guarantee on consumer PCs from Dell •Exclusive member offers •An additional 10 percent on select electronics and accessories •Free shipping on select systems DIRECT TV: Save $31 a month for one year, receive a $75 VISA prepaid card, and get a free Whole-Home Upgrade when ordering as a new customer.

Check our website for any code numbers that may be necessary. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing any of these discounts. If you have a particular business you’d like me to check with in an effort to obtain a discount, feel free to e-mail me. I still don’t have a contact person from all 75 counties, so if you haven’t received any e-mails with discount updates and/or coupons, then I need a contact person from your county that can pass e-mails along to all the employees in your county.
