I called at least five times trying to get details on the benefits from aarp.org. They sent me a flyer listing the benefits of membership that sparked the original questions. The only thing the original phone cue people could do was welcoming with a script but as soon as I switched over to my questions they were uninformed. Both times they tried to transfer me to some higher level the call was disconnected on their end. Their claims seem to be many but they're delivery on their claim seems to be very watered down. I don't see the benefit of joining such an organization.

A scam for seniors
December 13, 2023

Seniors...beware. This company is taking advantage of us. Annual fee is $120 + 27 cents per mile + the Lyft or Uber fee. Get a friend or family member to order thru their App for you.
I am highly offended by us seniors being taken advantage of.

This organization claims to fight for seniors but it's just the opposite. They are against legislation to have minimum requirements for staffing while corporation owing nursing homes are having records profits. This organization has always been corrupt

Not about retirees
February 1, 2024

Does not help retirees but does serve as a schill for insurance companies. Current focus of ads (2024) is "findind a job". AARP is tone deaf. Not worth subscribing to at all. Generates more spam mail and email than virtually any other organization.

Want more money
October 31, 2023

They hound you all year long for more more money! If you think you just pay $16 a year and you're done…. Wrong. All year long you get mail requests for more money and unkind reminders that you haven't paid yet!

A ridiculous company...
October 26, 2023

I'm 59 and I have no respect for AARP whatsoever after it took a chat session and two phone numbers and 45 minutes on the phone to remove my dead mom's name off their mailing list - maybe - I don't even know if the foreign guy even understood.

Why is it that complex to remove your dead mother's name from a list when I had all the information?

I was trying to be nice so that they're not wasting postage because it all gets shredded without being looked at.

I want nothing to do with AARP - EVER!

Very Dissapointing
January 3, 2024

When I turned 50, I joined AARP. They said I would get a gift for joining. I soon discovered A. The discounts don't kick in until you are 55. B. They promote only Democrat candidates and causes. And C. They lied about the "free gift". I called to inquire about the bag and was told they had a limited supply. They still promise a free gift for joining. If they'll lie about the gift to get you to join, they'll lie about anything. I joined AMAC. I get the same benefits without the agenda and B.S.

I tried several times on several occasions and couldn't sign in. I called for aarp help, but unfortunately they were unable to help. After becoming frustrated I ended the call. I called again and the support help appeared to get testy and told me that they would hang up. To me that is unacceptable, I ended the call by canceling my subscription. All that I wanted was some help, didn't get it.

AARP told me they could save me 500 if I switched to them. My insurance for year $1700. AARP rate was $5700 for six months. AARP are criminals stealing people's money. I hope their customer shop around and see how badly AARP is raping them! GFYS AARP
