@lb48372606,
It seems that you have finally discovered that most AARP Discounts are a sham.
The discounts can usually be obtained through other means like direct discounts from the retailer or through other memberships, like AAA.
Let me give you one example.
The Blooming Onion franchise made up of Bonefish Grill, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabbas Italian Grill, and Flemings Steakhouse.
First of all, all of these franchises, at one time or another, sell their gift cards at a discount through the Costco stores.
But even more important, they all have a loyalty REWARDS program. You cannot use their rewards program at the same time you are using an AARP discount is what I have been told more than once by the management of these franchises.
The Landry franchises are a similar situation.
AARP discounts have always been a sham. At one time there used to be a Entertainment Coupon Book discount operated by AARP Rewards in conjunction with the Entertainment Coupon Book company.
There was a coupon that appeared in my area for a Buy one, Get one greens fee for a local golf course. Problem was that the golf course had been closed for a year, the property was padlocked because the course owners had run afoul of the law, weeds were growing, and of course, the coupons weren't worth the paper they were printed on.
