Ignoring senior discounts

You might have felt a bit weird when you saw those AARP membership flyers in your mailbox, but there’s really no reason to feel bad. Now, you officially have access to one of the most exclusive organizations in America.

So there’s no reason why you should let your pride get in the way of a good discount. Now, if you need anything, from discounted car rentals to hotel rooms and even cellphone plans, you’ve got your AARP membership.

You will get a better discount on any of these things as long as you’re a senior. In fact, you should expect it to be anywhere from 5% to 20%, so make sure you sign up!
