AAA benefits as member of a European automobile club? (IHG rates)

So I tweeted IHG and they asked me to get in touch with them via their Live Chat feature.

I asked in chat if I can book the AAA rate as an ADAC member. They initially did not understand what I was asking so I guess it is not a common thing but after specifying again they said yes, it is possible. Asked for a source they said: "This information was advised by our supervisors."

So yes, but I would try to get a better confirmation.

Update:
I also tweeted ADAC and they responded me as much as:

That partnership and related member benefits no longer exist.

It ended as of 2015 apparently. The situation remains inconclusive to me.

Looking at the ADAC site, where it lists Members' Benefits in the US, it note that not all benefits are valid everywhere. It appears that the ADAC member uses an AAA Discount Card. The hotel chains noted on the card are Best Western, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The ADAC benefits with IHG are described as available in more than 500 hotels in Europe. My AAA membership in the US does not include IHG, only those hotels listed above, along another, Choice Hotels.

ADAC is a member of the "Show Your Card and Save" program, which is the international equivalency between the various automotive club programs. Any card with the "Show Your Card" or "AAA" logos receives the discount benefits of the AAA program in the US.

So yes, you are able to use the IHG "AAA/CAA" rate.

Having said that, I've never been asked to show my AAA-equivalent card (NRMA from Australia) when using the AAA rate at various brands of hotels, despite booking AAA rates probably north of 100 times over the past 10 years.

As promised, I contacted IHG North American offices, asking whether ADAC members are entitled to discounts in its hotels in North America, either through ADAC membership directly or via the AAA affiliation.

The answer is no, albeit a qualified response: its reservation systems has no information about ADAC discounts in the United States, despite what you were advised by IHG Europe. At the same time, the guest relations case manager who fielded the query suggested contacting ADAC for further clarification on its IHG benefits. For convenience, here's the section of ADAC site that describes Members' Benefits in the US

Noted separately, AAA does not offer members IHG discounts in North America. The hotels listed on the AAA discount card provided to ADAC include Best Western, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts.
