Independent insurance agencies, which are not insurance companies either, sell insurance policies for multiple insurance companies. AARP is nothing more than an independent insurance agency.
As far as discounts at motels/hotels, most also give discounts for AAA membership, active and retired military, and federal and state government employees. I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I'm most familiar with. I've found that it doesn't matter what organization the hotel accepts it is the same percentage for all of them.
