AARP Help

I have received several membership renewal letters stating that my membership has not been paid for 2022-2023 year And is expiring. However it was paid online back in September 2022. I received my new membership card today. So what gives and I don’t want to see the excuse that it’s an automated process. I am requesting of SVP Stephanie Miles that automated billing notices Be in line with reality. This is ridiculous. I don’t care if the letter states “PS please disregard this notice if you recently renewed your membership”. I’m sure I’m not the only member that gets these things which starts off earlier in the year by multiple renewal letter request months before renewal date and the associated membership cards. This is a waste of AARP’s resources and natural resources.

I have been on this board since 2008 and for only a member of AARP for the 1st year or so - It has been nice guys and I hope I have helped some of you, have not irritated others too much and brought some joy and perhaps laughter to others.I find that I do not want to continue with this community any longer - So I wish you all well.  Bye Now I hope I can completely delete me from the board.  

Hi! My name is Becky. I am in Florida and I am new here! How is everyone doing?

When logging into my AARP account, I'm asked to add a phone number to verify identity.  But when I enter it, an error appears "Phone number not eligible."  This is a Reno, NV number that I've had for many years.There is also an option in Account Details to add a number.  Options are "Send me the code by SMS text alert" and "Call me and tell me the code".  Guessing that there may be a problem sending an SMS, I try to select the latter, but the web page ignores the click.  I tried with both Chrome and Firefox.  But upon clicking Next, an error message appears, cleverly designed to have no useful information "Mmmmm... Something wasn't right. Please re-enter your phone number."  But there is no field where the number can be entered, and upon clicking Next, the same error reappears.However, I am certain that AARP can send SMS to this number, because I signed up with the same number for text alerts; today at 10:15 PDT I received an SMS from 692277 stating "

Please STOP posting all these OLD topics - let’s just begin anew - many of them are no longer applicable and some are just plain stupid to pull from 4-years or more back.OR at least keep them off the new post index - especially the ones under certain subjects I want to know how much participation is on this board outside of GAMES, SONGS, and REWARDS - by title I can pretty much spot those.  Other than participating in some of these never ending type threads, we don’t need the 4-years old post on Medicare or Social Security or other types subjects.  Either they have been useful at some time long ago or they haven’t - just let people post new stuff and forget the past ones. These old, old, old post just seem just to be clogging up the new system - How do you know when there has been a reply to something that you posted recently? 

I have serious concerns about using American Home Shield. We had a problem with our HVAC system that, after a month, has not been fixed. In that time, (1) I was told that the unit is working normally in spite of the fact that it is frozen over and does not work at all, (2) One of the their vendors tried to shake me down on buying a replacement unit -  to replace the one that they reported to AHS as working, (3) AHS then sent me a quote on a new system that they make money and at the same time, they were telling me that my current system works. My view is that they have institutionalized wearing down their customers and trying to squeeze more money out of them rather then performing the service they are supposed to provide. My experience with them is that their vendors are not very good and simply do not care. I have had electricians from AHS that have misdiagnosed a broken light switch as a home wiring issue that would need $1000s to repair. I had a plumber 2 month ago profess to not k

I have tried multiple ways of accessing these 3 videos (via the Extra Credit section,  the Earn Points section, logging out and then back in, etc) but I keep getting a Bad Request message for all 3. I’m SO tired of setting my alarm for 11P (I’m on CT) the last day of the month just so I can do the Extra Credit quizes & videos so I can purchase or redeem the gift cards that I want/need, and then discovering that some part of the Extra Credit section is not working.  

I’m comparing a few options, including Besrey baby carriers, and want to make sure I choose something suitable for everyday use. What features should I pay attention to, such as comfort, support, adjustability, safety, and ease of putting the carrier on and taking it off?

I have tried, but cannot get this to be answered.  Terri, please explain what these “Leaderboard Points“ for Posts are for?  Do they get added to our Reward points, that we use for Gift cards?  Are they supposed to make us feel like we are competing against each other?   What are they and Why? please for the love of God, let me ask this and get a public answer so we all can know.  please and thank you.

Don’t see a Display setting for how to format thread display to always show recent posts within a given thread.  I see you can change a given thread, while in it, but we had a way to change our own displays to always show recent, show a certain number of posts, etc… where can I go to change MY display to always show recent posts first in ALL threads?

Have been a verizon customer for over 32 years and wanted to know what exactly my bill covered and now I have been getting mislead and my original bill keeps going  up. Does anyone else have this issue???

 I don't mean by sending me driver safety or insurance information.  Can AARP show up at a local event or host a local event on the weekend:  I still work.Organize a bike ride or hike?Connect through hospitals for informational classes like healthy eating?

My son is an AARP member. He is also incarcerated. The problem is that his state ID number is not being printed on the AARP Magazine mailing label, so hes not getting the mags. They are being returned due to missing information. His state ID# is on the AARP account, why is not being printed on the mailing label?. If he can’t get the magazines, I will not ontinue the membership. Due to his current situation, the magazine is the only benefit for him. If he can get it, then I will not keep paying for his membership or mine     His name is Samuel  Byrd, Membership# 351 621 983 3

Is it just me? When I click on one of the games to earn rewards points, the “play now” button is missing and there’s no way to play the game. It’s happening on multiple games I checked - Hurdle, Sudoku, all the crosswords.

Recently I received a letter signed by S.F. Miles (Senior Vice President, Membership) offering membership in AARP with a birthday discount of up to 45%. But none of the 3 subscription choices offered includes a 45% discount.  Eiehter Ms Miles' is trying to trick people whose math skills have diminished, or she didn't bother to check her own math skills.  The choices offered are:#1 1 year for $20 discounted to $15 (that's a 25% discount)#2  3 years for $55 discounted to $38 (that's a 31% discount)#3  5 years for $79 discounted to $55 (that's only a 30% discount). It looks to me like Ms Miles blew the math on choice #3. Not only is it a lesser discount than choice #2 even thought it's a longer period, it also looks like she wrote down the rate multiplier (55%) rather than the answer ($79 x 55% = $43.45).  It looks to me like AARP owes anyone that signed up for the 5 year option for $55 a refund of $11.55.

Was reading a discussion thread, and noticed on the right hand side panel of the screen where it said Related Topics, ( or something like that), I saw a few threads I thought I might also like to read.  Except when I clicked on the link to the thread, on two of the ones I clicked on, it read  that they were closed to replies.  So just readable, and not open to reply.  I guess archived on this new board, but there was a lot of posts in them.  If it’s outdated, not sure why still there, and if relevant, I’m scratching my head as to why no replies allowed.

 Hello, Ever since joining AARP and often in spurts - we seem to have experienced a large increase in junk mail via USMail either from AARP and/or from third parties co-branded w/ AARP or otherwise associated with AARP - or maybe AARP shared our contact info. I would like to 100% stop this. No more junk mail offers. No more sharing of our address with 3rd parties.  Suggestions on where/how to do this? Thanks,

My husband and I got our discount cards and found that the best pricing was with the OptumRx home delivery when we search drug pricing so we clicked the button to signup.  We were able to complete the AARP Verification form and the HealthSafe ID Let's Get Started form as well as the verification codes sent to email and text.  It's the Identification number (AARP member ID) that returns an unable to verify message on the HealthSafe ID pages.  I verified that my name, birthdate and AARP member ID on the HeatthSafe ID form matches my AARP account.  If I skip the verification, I get a different form that still will not accept my AARP member number as the identification number.  I have no access to order an OptumRX home delivery.  I received no help when I called the phone number for setting up home delivery either.  Do members have this benefit or not?

📸[*** Screenshot Attached](1) I thought the bell with a line through it mean't I would NOT receive an AARP email when people comment AFTER me in a thread? I just received one when Les just commented AFTER me. AARP Teri ​@AARPTeri , I really have NO "interest" in returning to being "flooded" with notifications I DONOT want.(2) To "clarify" in case my Old Brain is NOT getting this. We can NO longer "subscribe" to forums WE DO WANT AARP emails "informing" us when someone leaves a comment? The ONLY forum I want to know about in case I am NOT on site, is your "Grief & Loss" forum. The rest I will see when I stop by site. With the OLD SITE I had this setup. Is this "option" gone?***I know you are busy & hate to bother you, but really NEED to Know IF I am going to be getting "notifications" after I comment in some "random" thread? Lol, HATE having to "clean out" my email IN BOX. Got it setup to "receive" ONLY what I want.Thanks Teri,Nicole 💛🤗
