Travel Discounts???

I genuinely don't understand why AARP Claims they provide members with discounts. I have never seen a genuine discount on any of my travels. The same prices are provided by a simple Google Search. There is absolutely NO discount. A group with the purchasing power of AARP should DEFINITELY be able to negotiate a significant discount for their users. Think of the access all these groups receive by our membership in AARP. I appreciate some of AARP's effectiveness in advocating for us, but this pretense that they our securing us travel discounts borders on a deception or a scam. In turn that calls AARP's credibility into question. So I have to wonder, why does AARP even bother with the pretense?

Totally agree. Lots of coupon codes with simple search engine sleuthing.

And that's exactly what is frustrating! ARO send ,I asume,millions of $$ on trying to get new members. But they seem uninterested in addressing concerns from their bread and butter clients. I would love to see more money and energy directed into helping and proving discounts accessible to their average customer. I am giving **SEIOIS** consideration to drop g my membership. As Pensioneer, I pay close attention to the value I receive for my dollars. The truth is, AARP discounts just aren't accessible to me. And they dont seem to be moving g the dial on political decisions either. It may be time for me to go.
