Travel Agent, October, 2002

Look for AAA to launch the first direct connection to Disney's Web site through an agency Internet link. Using its consumer site [www.aaa.com], AAA will connect a few of its clubs this month, with plans for a full launch later this year.

AAA previously announced that it has dropped American Express as its preferred travelers cheques in favor of a new relationship with Travelex, which offers Visa-branded cheques and other financial products. For its part, Disney in June dropped American Express as its preferred credit card in favor of Visa. Visa U.S.A. CEO Carl Pascarella, speaking last week at AAA's travel conference in New York, said there will likely be future joint promotions among all three companies--AAA, Disney and Visa.
