Now that I’ve requested a conversion of some of my Petro-Points into CAA dollars, I need to know when it has happened. Then I can buy a gift membership to the CAA for my Mom. I decided to set up an online account with CAASCO so I can check whether my CAA Dollar Balance has bumped up without having to keep phoning in.
Create a CAA Online Account to Check Your Roadside Call Usage and CAA Dollar Balance
You can also check how many times you’ve called in to CAA to request help this year using your Online Account That might be handy because you have a limited number of calls per year for tows, boosts, gasoline delivery and lockouts. If you’ve used your entire limit you might want to call CAA to discuss a change in your membership level so you’re still protected.
And, as I mentioned, you can check how many CAA dollars are in your account.
- Go to the CAASCO website.
- Click on the Create an Account link near the upper right side of the screen.

Unfortunately, mine is still 0 so the Petro-Points conversion $$ still aren’t here.

UPDATE: On the morning of the third business day after I requested the conversion of Petro-Points to CAA Dollars, the dollars appeared in my CAASCO account. So the 72 hours that is mentioned on the Petro-Points website must mean business hours.

I checked my CAA Account online and it said I had 0 Extractions so far this year. Ha! Little to they know but I’ve had 2 wisdom teeth out and now I’m only half as smart as I thought I was. Have you ever checked the facts on your CAA Account? Please share your views with a comment.
