Denny's fictional Senior discount

Either Denny's has a 15% discount or they don't. Enough with the marketing games. Why should seniors be expected to read the fine print on the Denny's website to finagle a discount widely promoted online and on the AARP site as well? AARP should remove Denny's from the advertised discounts. Recently I had lunch at a Salem, Va Denny's. Bill was $23. Discount was $1.23, hardly a 15% discount. Seniors are a big part of their customer base. It is inexcusable that they are attracting folks based on sneaky promotions and using AARP to do so.

I was told at the Denny’s at zip code 61554 stop all AARP discounts… and if I wanted any discount from Denny’s was to join their rewards program/app. I just quit going figured all Denny’s are doing this. I just quit going to Denny’s. I always gave that discount back and more with leaving a tip anyway

Everything is subject to change. That small print we love to hate. Most all Dennys has stopped the AARP discount. If Dennys rewards program is like IHOP, you can get free meals. I’m a fan of IHops program.

IHOP is good too but to far away. We just go to Missy’s Cafe in town and support the local bussiness.

They have always told me that certain specials like senior meals are not included, just whatever is regular price.

This canned response is not helpful. Like I said: Why should seniors be expected to read the fine print?

Was it $23 before or after taxes? The 15% applies only to the food and not the tax, too.

Seriously? That is your answer?

Guess I've been lucky, all I ever do is show my card at register and they give me the discount on whatever we ate. This isn't just locale it was when we traveled.
