I have never been so disappointed in AMA as I was yesterday. I am a Plus Membership and was told they would ONLY honor 50kms as there is a crisis in Alberta. No notification has been sent to my email as a customer about the changes, nor a credit or reduction in my premium as a result & when I needed them to take me 86kms refused. Then we're going to refuse 56kms. I escalated call as a result of a toddler with cancer we needed to get their car seat to. 3 people were helping with a combined paid memberships of over 60+yrs with AMA all Plus members. Shame, shame on you AMA.

One big fat fact that they forget to mention is that they only serve you if you’re a member and if you don’t have a membership, please don’t go here.
