Just bad luck, or common on the lowest fares?

This program is now a complete con.

It always pairs a "discounted" leg with a higher return leg, which when combined, produce a price within a dollar of the regular fare on BA web site.

I have done 30 or more searches over 2 years and it has never produced a fare that is discounted lower than the web site fare.

I have written to AARP to point this out a number of times, and have never recieved a reply.

For me this is straight up deceptive advertising on both BA and AARP's part.
