Oh I see, you were just picking nits as opposed to trying to actually help OP.
In any event, "may or may not offer" is correct. Per AAA:
Special rates and discounts may not apply to all room types. Advance reservations required for some special AAA rates (varies by hotel chain but always recommended). Subject to availability.
Preferred Hotels - Restrictions.
So, an AAA discount,
may or
may not be offered based on room type, advance purchase restrictions, and availability.

Yes, they will likely fill up eventually, but numerous Hiltons in Honolulu are currently offering AAA discount rates over the Christmas holiday. Go run a search.
