What’s in it for you

Get a Basic AMA membership for one year, valued at over $120, for free. This membership is for new permanent residents, international students, and visitors with work permits (including CUAET visa holders). To claim this free membership, you must meet these requirements:

• moved to Alberta from another country within the last 12 months
• currently have a residence in Alberta
• be at least 16 years old
• be able to provide an accepted validation of immigration status

An AMA membership gives you access to our services, including Roadside Assistance, Driver Education, Insurance, Rewards, Registry Services, and Travel:

• Take two free Driver Education courses, like Learner’s Licence Prep and Winter Driving.
• Get four free Roadside Assistance calls per year, in case you get a flat tire, get locked out of your vehicle, run out of gas, or need our Bike Assist program.
• AMA’s insurance services provide expert advice and comprehensive coverage for your auto, home and renters, life and health, business, and travel insurance needs.
• Your local AMA centre is your one-stop shop for all your registry needs, such as getting a photo ID, Alberta health care card, or driver’s license, or even registering your small business.
• You can get deals on travel needs, including hotels, car rentals, and vacations.
• Get access to Alberta’s best rewards program. With an AMA membership, you can save and get rewarded for purchases at retailers and brands you already love like Sobeys, Safeway, Tim Hortons and more. Plus, when you buy gift cards through AMA, you’ll earn 5% back in reward dollars on every purchase! Reward dollars are worth the same as Canadian dollars and can be spent on virtually anything AMA offers, including all the services listed above.
