Travel Discounts???

[BridgetD285484]

 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?
