Can you give a guest the AARP discount if they do not have their card?

The correct answer is that you cannot give a guest the AARP discount without their card. AARP discounts are specifically designed for members of the AARP organization, and the card serves as proof of membership. This requirement ensures that discounts are being offered to legitimate members and prevents potential misuse of the discount policy.

In most establishments, including Denny's, a valid membership card is necessary to authenticate the guest's eligibility for the discount. Accepting the discount without the card would undermine the integrity of the discount program and could lead to inconsistency in how discounts are applied to guests. As a result, confirming membership through the card is a standard practice for providing AARP discounts.
