Alignment schedule?

What is the Acura recommended schedule for alignment? I cannot find anything in the owners manual.
The dealer asks me to do an alignment every year. I see no uneven wear in my tires, so I declined.
But it would be great to know what is the "official" alignment schedule from Acura.
I do realize dealers make tons of money from useless services like alignment, balance, etc.

I don't see a point to doing alignments unless something doesn't feel right.

the only time I would do alignment:
1. Car pulls to left/right
2. Uneven wear on any of the tires
3. Get a set of new tires.

Other than that, don't do it!

The dealers will typically recommend alignment every 1-2 years, they will also try to scare you by saying "tires are expensive on these cars, so alignment is very important"
