Not to sound cheap or anything, but I meant more about the discounts and such.Comment

I am an AARP member, but I find that the AAA discounts (at least for travel) are usually the same as AARP's.

When I turned 50, just a few short years ago, I joined AARP to get a discount on my att/cingular cell phone bill. They offered a 20% monthly discount off my cell phone bill and the yearly aarp membership fee was only $12.00. Well worth it for me.Comment
