Trick to using AARP discount?

I can't seem to get the aarp discount. I sign in to AARP and click the BA business discount link. Then I get a notification that I am leaving the aarp site and heading to BA.com (ba.com/aarp). I enter my flight search and go all the way through to the payment page on ba.com, but it doesn't appear that the discount is applied. Could someone please share the correct ba.com link or tips so that I can make sure I am getting the discount? I ran a search and checked the newbie lounge but could not find the answer. Many thanks!

Thanks for the fare alert, OP.

It's $200 regularly. The $400 savings was a temporary thing for a few days (expired June 29).

Is that determined by IP address? Perhaps a VPN could help?

It has been reduced to $200. Luckily I have a couple of tickets which I purchased when it was $400 which I stacked with the Chase offer and a two for one price so got two BA tickets in business to Rome for $2800.

Also, under the T&C's "This exclusive AARP member offer is open to US residents paying in US dollars only, with travel originating in the US." and "Discount does not apply to open jaw journey (only round-trip with same origin and destination permitted)."
