We have just recently joined Silver Wings. In the first week or so I more than compensated for my lifetime membership fee. 50% off the Hilton Hawaiian Village for PIP, and a number of very low cost domestic tickets for me and young companions using USA Collections coupons.
I do find it a little annoying that while the current USA Collection expires July 31, 1999, the extension won't be announced until August 1, 1999. SInce a two week advance booking is required, the discounts are useless for trips taken during the 1st two weeks in August. Bummer!!!
The very best part of Senior Programs is when you try to use them and they make you show your ID to prove you are really old enough.
