Shoot, we've even tried to offer them discounts for their members that
stay
at our inn -- no strings attached -- and they won't even respond to THAT!

Why do you need AOPA's permission? Obviously, you can't *advertise* using
their name or logo without their permission. But nothing stops you from
offering a discount to AOPA members.
