Alliance for Affordable Services leverages the “Strength of Numbers” and uses the association’s group clout to deliver valuable savings to our members. Over the past several years, the negotiating power of the group has allowed Alliance to combat the rising costs of providing these benefits to our members. However, due to increased expenses, in order to provide the most valuable benefits to our members and at the same time prevent a membership dues increase, it is necessary to make some changes to the 2012 Alliance Member Benefits.
Alliance Members will continue to have access to our most popular and valuable benefits* such as:
- TeladocSM | Retail value† = $360 per year
- Global Emergency Services (Assist America) | Retail value† = $385 per year
- Roadside Assistance | Retail value† = $150 per year
- Diagnostic Imaging and Lab discounts offered through participating vendors
- And numerous other money-saving benefits and discounts

- Angie’s List – Save 20% on annual fee to access reviews on roofers, plumbers, and more
