AARP Travel has multiple associations with several companies to bring you discounts on travel, insurance, hotels, and more.

Many of the discounts on the site are affiliate discounts and are offered by the companies directly. For example they use Expedia as one of their travel options and have the Expedia widget on the home page of their website. In other words, if you book a flight on their Expedia home page, they will receive a small commission from Expedia. They are also associated with a hearing centre, long term care centre and a dental insurance company. We believe all of these are affiliates of AARP travel.
