That is not my experience at all. I save thousands annually with AAA rate. Easy example, looking at StR SF for Aug. 25-27, AAA rate is $150/night lower than member rate flexible.

Same with Hyatt. And based on having AAA card demanded at numerous Marriotts recently, I suspect most Marriott properties would confirm age-eligibility for a senior rate.
