AARP Help

I have not received a membership card yet, only the ability to print my own which is on plain paper and isn't very sturdy in my wallet

How can I get my money back or use AARP to an advantage so it's worth the yearly fee.  All I get is spam mail and waste of paper letters trying to sell me insurance etc.  I get emails telling me to enter contests that I have to work to earn points to enter.  What's up with that?  I've spent several hours to enter a handful of contests and won nothing.   Basically, AARP has been a huge waste of time and money.  I can't afford hotels or eating out on an 800$ a month fixed income to enjoy the coupons. My money is spent on bills by the 5th of the month. Why should anybody pay to get discount coupons anyhow?  I can't understand how AARP is legally charging anybody for this and what does anybody get out of it.  What am I overlooking something?

II want to switch to receiving the AARP Magazine and Bulletin digitally. But I want to continue to receive a plastic membership card, not a digital card. How can this be accomplished? It appears that AARP is not giving me that choice. 

Does this cost the same as the physical membership? Thanks

What's the point of asking whether we want to keep social security or not?  Sends an email to whom, exactly? More to the point, why isn't the AARP doing more to educate their members about the mechanisms that are threatening our social security?  How about details on how this administration is cutting medicare and medicaid for millions of US Citizens? These emails that send emails seem feckless - especially for an organization as large as AARP.     

What really concerns me is when you send emails out and you include the Membership number. This is a security problem waiting to happen. Membership #: XXXXXXXXXX123 You don’t need to include it in the email, but if you do you should it X-out like above. Thanks 

Hello, I would like to continue receiving the paper version of the AARP Magazine to my home, but would like to discontinue receiving the AARP Bulletin. Can you please direct me as to how to accomplish this.Thank you!

My wife and I are both members, so we get two copies of the magazine and bulletin. Is there a way get only one copy and save the trees? Thanks Joe Sarnelle

 Hi,Today I agreed to change to Digital membership, which includes the magazine, bulleting and card digital versions. But there might be places in which the Digital card, using the App, might not be suitable. How can I opt for the Digital Magazine and Bulletin but keep receiving the physical cards?

AARP Extra Credit rewards are not working. I've done the videos and quizzes for each category. I'm still not able to redeem anything.How come this happens every month? PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!

I got a letter in the mail advertising a free cooler bag with membership. But I ended up signing up for  the membership online because it was easier for me. Do I still get the cooler bagger or did I mess up by doing it online instead of by mail?

Hi, I would like to know if the points from family member, (the secondary member I chose)  can be transferred to my account since I won't be renewing the paid membership and her acct will be deleted.  Its been two months and still she hasnt been able to redeem points, enter giveaways nor Instant wins.  Whats the point of having this acct if she can't use it despite her seeking help from AARP but to no avail.   So she has a point balance and I want to know if her point balance can be transferred to my acct.   

I found some golf buy one get one on the app and now for some reason I can't find them. 

When I got my supplement (G), it included Silver Sneakers.  Now I can't find Silver Sneakers.  Is there a substitute?  That was part of me decision on what plan to get.   And, the premium has gone up despite being told it would not.   ARRRGHEllen

 I initially submitted a request through the Speaker Bureau form and also contacted the local office back in March regarding a community event originally scheduled for May. Unfortunately, each person who responded initially stopped communicating and did not provide any follow-up information.We have since rescheduled the event and remain interested in featuring a speaker from AARP, as they are a valued corporate partner of our organization. Could you please direct me to someone who can assist with reserving a speaker for our upcoming virtual event?

How do I cancel my subscription and get a refund?

 The same prescriptions seem to costing more. Up to 3 times more.  Delta Dental seems to be paying less for crowns and other procedures . Almost Twice less.  Why?

Good morning to all, just asking if people think it is a good move to move from Central NY to Nebraska?  I am 64 and my wife is 61.  Just want to get out of NY.  Just asking since I am sure there are people that either live in Nebraska or have lived there and I am just asking for their thoughts.Thank youRandy Spencer

So now, instead of getting 300 points for watching a video, AARP members are getting the same amount of points as a NON MEMBER (200 points)? WHAT'S THE USE OF BECOMING A MEMBER?! I also had to log in half a dozen times this morning! And every time, the AARP Memorial Day membership drive advertisement came up, blocking my screen! I'm seriously considering CANCELLING my membership and demanding a REFUND! This is the worst website I have ever seen!

This is to the AARP people that have executive power over whether or not Tournament Tuesday's continue. I just want to say I really hope that tournament Tuesday's continue. I saw that it said that they are taking a break in June. Tournament Tuesday has been something I look forward to. I really hope it does continue.

This seems to be a something in the "big beautiful bill" they just passed. Could be wrong but I would think AARP would be at the least talking about this. 

Great job AARP! Your pathetic site makes me want to never visit again!

I know this subject has been hashed and rehashed, in fact a few hours ago there was a post which I intended to reply to but it has conveniently disappeared from the 10 or so "current" items showing on the community page. I have been dealing with the page needing to be refreshed for several days.  I can access on ipad but on laptop I get the refresh page over and over.   I was able to get further by clearing my cookies.  Yes I know, it makes you have to reload favorite pages and I am sure there are work arounds.  But at least today I was able to once again earn points on laptop.   Not that the other usual glitches are absent.  The pages being hijacked to the Spanish page then no points.  The quiz not showing but the green check mark says something.  The black pages.  Yes I still get these and daily.  AARP since you say you are reading these comments you must know there is a problem that needs immediate attention.

Hello, the website shows new members can join for $9 per year with a 5-year commitment. Why is this offer not available for current members who are due for renewal? Are you more interested in attracting new members than retaining current / existing members? Thank you.
