I am a few years past the magic age and haven't gotten a single invite. Maybe I need to look into it and see what the discounts are. Are they better than AAA?
One has to ask. IMHO, that's the missing part here- regardless of where the discount is coming from, many people are not asking for it. AAA, AARP, Corporate shopping (some here have that, I'm sure), etc. Don't just give your money away.
