Hotel Discount

[JaneH876967]

Hilton Hotels are listed as giving discounts up to 10% to AARP Members. Why then, when I go to make a reservation at a Hampton Inn or Hilton Garden Inn, the AARP rate is typically $10-$30 MORE than the standard rate? This has just started in the past year or so. It did not used to be that way when making a reservation on line.

I've tried to book rooms twice at a Hilton using both AARP and Chase Travel.  It was always a few dollars cheaper with Chase Travel.  This membership was a waste.  Glad it was only 12 bucks.  Cancelling my membership....Only benefit I got was a cheap insulated tote. . .

I hope you reconsider, @GaryE30262. Your AARP membership gives you access to hundreds of carefully chosen discounts, programs, and services. From health and wellness to travel and entertainment, you'll find a wide variety of AARP benefits for every area of your life. I invite you to learn more about our benefits here: https://aarp.info/2VSIftj. If I can answer anything about membership or benefits, I'm always here to help! - Daniela R.

Yep- for Hyatt my standard Expedia is actually the same price BUT if I include my expedia rewards it is actually $10 cheaper without AARP per night.

Hope there is something else worth having this for, but my guess it is pretty much a worthless scam.

My experience is that the 10% AARP discount over the best available rate is false, for all hotels.  You can always find lower rates through many hotel reservations websites than through AARP.  I have never found an AARP deal that is better than what you can find online on your own in under 10 minutes.
