Not sure how this topic relates to boondocking, but
We are sitting at a campground in north Florida because it offers a PA discount. The Florida State Park where we had a reservation did not allow us to camp there because we were delayed on the road and arrived after dark last night.
I'm a Good Sam Life Member and occasionally use the GS discount. If I wasn't on my way to a granddaughters wedding next weekend in Fort Lauderdale, we would be at The Rally near Phoenix working as volunteers.
As full timers we also are Escapees and use their mail service. I often get a 15% discount as an SKP at parks which give 10% to GS or AAA.
I'm also retired US Navy and use military cog rounds because they are often cheaper that commercial CG with discounts.
PA is for exactly what we are using it for today. When just passing through and you need a place to stop for the night or plans change.
SKP might pay back the membership costs in CG savings, but that's not a primary reason to join. The same with Good Sam. But PA will pay back your costs in just a couple nights use each year.
