The quick answer: Best Western gives guests 55+ or AARP members a discounted senior rate — typically 5% to 15% off the best available rate.
The details
Best Western runs a worldwide senior rate for guests 55 and older and a parallel AARP rate; AARP’s benefit page lists the member discount as ‘5% or more off the best available rate,’ and Best Western markets senior/AARP savings of up to 15% at participating hotels. AARP members who join Best Western Rewards are also upgraded to Gold status and can earn 10% bonus points on qualified stays. Proof of age or AARP membership is required at check-in, and the discounted rate must be booked as the Senior/AARP rate rather than the standard rate.
How to claim it
Book the senior or AARP rate on bestwestern.com (or by phone) and show proof of age 55+ or your AARP card at check-in. (Qualifying age: 55+.)
