I've actually had AAA for my car insurance for a dozen years. Only had very small price increases during that time. No accidents, no tickets and yet they just increased my rate 25%. Been happy with them but if they think that I don't pay attention to the price I'm paying they'll learn.

So, they'll lose their 5% margin on you.

If your odds of noticing the bump, and caring enough to drop them were <80%, they still made money.
