Travel & membershipsHow to Find and Ask for Senior DiscountsMost senior discounts are not advertised. They sit with the venue, the location or a membership, and they are not always the cheapest price. The habit that pays is simple: ask, then compare.Read the guideBills & subscriptionsHow to Audit and Cut Your SubscriptionsSubscriptions are easy to start and easy to forget.

Questions

Is everything on AltFTool Savings free?

Yes. The finders, guides and calculators are free and work without an account or email. Email updates are optional and only about the topics you pick.

Do you show discount codes or deal prices?

Only partner offers whose terms have been checked against the advertiser's published terms, labeled as sponsored and with the date they were checked. We never invent discount amounts. Until an offer passes that check, the pages show guidance and official links instead.

How do you make money?

Some links may be affiliate links, which can pay us a commission at no cost to you. They are labeled, and they never change what a guide recommends. See the affiliate disclosure.

Is AltFTool part of AARP, AAA or a government agency?

No. AltFTool is independent. Programs and agencies are named for comparison and linked to their official sites.

What happens to my answers in a finder?

They build your results on the page. If you choose to sign up, only the savings categories you ticked are saved so updates match them. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
