OK, here we go:

1. Pick a city, say Minneapolis. Do a "find and reserve". A list of properties should come up.

2. Pick a property and a date, and select AAA or Government or Senior rate, or enter a rate code.

3. You'll either get a room or not, but at the bottom it will say something like "Didn't find what you need? Use our flexible date finder". So, you click on that.

4. That will take you to a menu where you pick a start date and an interval; I usually use 4 weeks.

5. When you enter that, you usually have a chance to select a room type. Once you do that, the little calendar comes up showing you when (or if) the rate is available during that 4-week period.

You'll find that many rates are only available on weekends, or that the rate changes during the week, and so on. From this point, it's a simple matter to "back" up and select different start dates. You can lay out when (or if) a particular rate is available for the whole year, if you want.

Good luck.
