One of the most overlooked travel resources is having a Black Friday sale with one of the best prices we have seen. Get 2 AARP memberships for just $11 per year when you sign up for 5 years!

An American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) membership is a great travel tool to have, and the benefits easily outweigh the (very moderate) cost. Furthermore, don’t let anyone tell you that AARP is solely for seniors; all it takes to take advantage of these exclusive deals is to be at least 18 years old.

Let’s take a look at the details of this sale, which runs through December 9.

The regular price is $20 per year, so you can save 45% with this sale.

You will need to pay the $55 upfront for the 5-year membership, but you should easily be able to recoup that in the first year alone.

AARP members can receive everyday discounts, including up to 15% off at restaurants nationwide, up to 10% off at hotels and resorts, and up to $200 per person on round-trip flights, plus countless travel discounts on car rentals, cruises, and even travel planning.

Hot Tip:

You can also use offers from Capital One ShoppingCapital One OffersChase Offers, and Rakuten to get cash-back on your membership purchase, which provides a further discount.

AARP Travel Benefits

One of the most overlooked benefits of an AARP membership is the travel benefits.

We have long advocated that an AARP membership is worth it for travelers, especially if you fly British Airways or a codeshare flight on a partner such as American Airlines or Iberia.

Members receive a $65 discount on all British Airways round-trip economy tickets and even a $200 discount on round-trip business class tickets each year, effortlessly covering the cost of the annual membership and then some.

If you don’t see yourself flying British Airways anytime soon, you can still save thanks to the long list of hotel partners that offer up to 10% discounts, including Hilton, Radisson, and Wyndham.

Car rental companies — including Avis, Budget, Payless, and Zipcar — offer discounts of up to 30% for AARP members.

Bottom Line:

There are plenty of travel benefits and discounts that easily make the $11 AARP annual fee worth it.
