I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my parents, who are retired and do alot of traveling. I thought that it would contain lots of great tips. However, I was wrong. Alot of the "discounts" we already knew about, or could get through our insurance(AAA) at any age. Alot of the discounts were so small that it really wasnt worth the time to even try to get them. My parents are not into traveling in large groups either, so that ruled out a large portion of the travel discounts. I did not find much useful information in this book, and ended up selling it to the used bookstore instead of giving it to them.
