Denny’s not giving full 15% discount

My wife and I went to Denny’s this morning for breakfast. The food and service is great. Everything was great except when I went to pay and showed my AARP Card I noticed that the bill wasn’t right. As you could see, Denny’s idea of 15% is $1.29. I’ll have to remember that when I tip next time. I brought this to the cashier’s attention but she couldn’t grasp what I was trying to say. I even used the calculator on my phone. Still nothing. Is anybody else having this problem or is it just this one Denny’s in Tracy CA.15% of $25.56 is $3.83 and not $1.29

      Hi @Rllenor , this comes up here from time to time.  Ironically Dennys has something on their website about because I guess it comes up there a lot too!  The discount doesn’t cover some of the Slam Breakfasts.  I copied the burb below for you.  In their FAQ section of their website.

        The “devil” is in the details - you only got the 15% discount on the (2) beverages at $ 4.29 each X 2 = $ 8.58 X .15 = $ 1.287 ( $ 1.29 rounded).

        Value Slam - excluded

        Super Slam - excluded 

        Sorry

          Hi @Rllenor ,

          Thanks for taking the time to share this. We understand how frustrating that experience must have been, especially when everything else about your visit went well.

          AARP discounts at participating restaurants like Denny’s should be applied accurately, so we’d like our Member Services team to take a closer look into what happened. The best next step is to reach out through our contact page so this can be reviewed and escalated properly:

          Once you connect with the team, they can gather a few details and help address the issue directly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we want to make sure you’re getting the full value of your membership. AARP Darryl

            @DarrylL35959 Im glad you popped in.  Denny’s Website has changed the offer, screenshot below at the bottom of the thread from their website’s FAQ page.
