4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas
This book, even though it is a year old, still has several good ideas and connections. Amazon had a good price for it and I'm glad I bought it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great.
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...

This review is from: Unbelievably Good Deals and Great Adventures That You Absolutely Can't Get Unless You're Over 50, 2007-2008 (Unbelievably Good Deals & Great ... Absolutely Can't Get Unless You're Over 50) (Paperback)
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.

I'm actually disappointed in this book -- didn't have any NEW deals I didn't already know about, and the day after I purchased it here, I found it somewhere else for a fraction of what I paid here. Oh well ... live and learn, I guess.

I like this book, but it is not as helpful and I had hoped. It is filled with many new ideas for us and I am sure that we will use it.

I recently ordered this book, but am disappointed with it. There isn't much in there that I haven't already found out on my own. I do a lot of cruising and have managed to get good deals by shopping around a lot. Fortunately, I found it second-hand so am not out a lot of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Good Deals? Well, should be if over 65..., July 28, 2008

If you're over 65 this book may be of minor interest. That's what the title should be IF YOU'RE OVER 65.
Check it out of the library before buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unbelievably Good Book, September 18, 2007

If you're over 50, you'll wear this book out checking the great money-saving tips. Don't miss the chapters on vacations and airfares: Who knew Southwest Airlines has the best discounts for our age group! And there's so much more. This is an ideal gift for friends and relatives, too.
