The AAO has formed an exclusive endorsement agreement through Circles123.com with Circles Concierge, the global leader in concierge and personal assistance services. The AAO negotiated the endorsement agreement to provide unique value to members through services that can help users gain time, increase productivity, and enhance their quality of life.

Using a subscription-based model, Circles is an on-demand resource for almost any task that’s on your “to do” list, both personal and even some work-related tasks. Have you ever wished you had someone else to take care of things for you? Now you do. Circles is here to serve as your:

Personal Shopper – gift ideas, product comparisons, flowers and gift baskets
City Entertainment Guide – local tours, nightlife, activities
Research Expert – hard-to-find items, product comparison
All-Purpose Coordinator – party ideas and planning
Travel Planner – airfare, hotels, car rentals, itineraries
And so much more. No request is too big or too small.

Beyond your monthly subscription fee, the Circles service costs you nothing, no matter how much you use it. You only pay for goods, services or errands that you authorize Circles to purchase or book on your behalf.

Circles aids members through a 24/7 team of dedicated personal assistants available via web portal, phone, email or chat. (See the breakdown below for more examples of available services.)

In addition, the Circles network of discount partners offers unique discounts featuring companies such as Disney Resorts, The Ritz Carlton, Ticket Monster, and 1-800 Flowers.
