AARP Help

    You really need to consider bringing back the option to be able to download the magazine, bulletin, etc back.  It was more convenient to download the pdf version and then take the time to read the magazine, even when I didn't have internet connection.

I decided to join AARP, gotta pop up about the drivers course reduction on insurance, signed us both up and two weeks later left on a camping trip. I got sick, tire blew out, refrigerator crashed, battery died, and mostly not enough Wi-Fi to do anything but check email. There was no warning the course was about to expire and it never occurred to either of us that it would. the landing page that led to the registration may have had the info but it would've been awfully fine print for us to miss it. is this a nice money making scheme for AARP? Had I known, obviously I wouldn't have bought it then. What's the deal with it being 60 days everywhere else in the country and only 30 in New York and CT by the way? who does that benefit and how? Supposedly on the side of seniors. my Social Security check makes me eligible for snap benefits and I don't have the money to waste. Shame on you  

 I received an email from AARP regarding their upcoming Tax  season for the elderly and low income population. Unfortunately I fall under this category.  For years, I have always had my taxes done by them and was always able to make an appointment over the phone with many days  and times to choose from(even Saturdays).  The email went on to say they will no longer have appointments because "we are short many volunteers this year so there is no call center or central appointment site available.  So we will revert back to pre-COVID procedures and do walk in same day appointments." They will be at the public library  here only 2 days a week for  a span 6 hours and everyone has to stand in line for the same day appointment. But you can stand there for a while and never get a same day appointment because it will fill up quickly, so the next day you have to do it all over again and possibly never get the appointment then either.  I am just saying

 United Healthcare Supplement Renew Active Benefit premium gym memberships are dropping popular services such as Orange Theory, Exercise Coach, Stretch Lab, etc. and did not have the courtesy to send letters informing members of the change. This is a huge takeaway and shows UHC and AARP is not concerned about Medicare recipients wellness and physical health.  This benefit needs to be restored for 2025 until such time as proper notice is given to all participants during open enrollment period so that other Medicare supplement plans can be considered that may offer better auxiliary benefits.  It is very unprofessional and tone deaf for UHC and AARP not to communicate this material change.  Where is AARP in advocating for this benefit for their membership?

Why does the Community Forum allow topics to be posted with derogatory terminology and unfounded accusations intended to incite dissention?  I have seen otherwise valid topics with outright nasty derogatory terminology being used to refer to the current President and his administration.   Civil discussions should be promoted but many topics are clearly intended to incite dissention.  

I just joined through the 5-year, $11/year special offer. One of the benefits is that my partner gets a membership too. How does that work? How can he get his membership card and benefits. Thanks.

I had a page open that has at least 16 kinds of pilates classes for members only and lost it. I am not finding it through the search menu or under health etc. Please send me the link to that page.Thanks!

I  asked to reset my Password and I did; however when I go to use it it tells me I'm already registered and have to reset my password   ?  So then i reset my password  a 2nd time  or a 3rd time.   Finally I get in after resetting my password multiple times  !   So I think there is something wrong with your website as it leads users around in a circle multiple times   ?  !

ONCE AGAIN the AARP Earn Rewards Videos are complete garbage! Pages 35-38 are especially problematic in that they either do not load, do not earn rewards points, or the entire page refuses to load and you see nothing but the endless rotating circle! Does AARP actually PAY someone to program it's websites? These are NOT new problems and have plagued your website for years! Completely unacceptable! A total waste of time for your paying subscribers! And your customer service response of how sorry you are... And how you're going to forward this to your IT technicians Is just pathetic because nothing ever gets fixed. 

 Hello, I did not receive SONIC instant win email. It's been a few days. Thanks

Hello everyone! I recently started using an online compass that works with my device’s GPS location, and I’d love to hear others' thoughts or suggestions on how to make the most out of it.This online compass is a tool, not an app, and it’s accessible directly through my browser, which I find really convenient. The best part is that it uses my device’s GPS to provide directions and orient me, which is especially useful when I’m exploring new places or navigating unfamiliar areas. I find it to be quite accurate when I'm outdoors, but I’ve had some issues with it inside or in places with poor GPS reception. The compass can become a bit less reliable when the signal is weak, which I find a little frustrating.One thing I’ve noticed is that it’s just a basic compass and doesn't provide much more than directional information. Sometimes, I wish it could offer more visual guidance, especially in busy areas where I might need a bit more context to figure out where I’m headed. The GPS works well,

Does signing my spouse up require her to have a separate account?

AARP, please opt me out of all physical mail subscriptions, including the magazine. Since there's no easy way to opt out online and I can't call customer service right now, I'm putting this request here.

Years ago, I pointed this out to you. I think I will finally no longer renew. Most of us know to take off our address so our trash is not otherwise identifiable. But it is inconvenient to page through looking for those type-appearance boxes that have advertisements that are addressed to me by name. Does that advertisement pay you better? I wish the advertiser understood I would never use them. Please stop it. You are putting those of us with unique first names at risk. Or you lose one membership.

There was an article in the latest ARP magazine that said you should text your flight number to yourself. Supposedly the phone would recognize that and generate a link to check flight status. I see three problems with that: - How would it know what date (many airlines use the same number every day)?- How would it know what city paid (Southwest uses the same flight number for multiple segments)?- Finally, I tried it on my T-Mobile phone and nothing happened! Has anyone tried this and did it work?

I cannot change my AARP account password.The AARP web page just hangs when I attempt to change my password.Anyone having similar issues? 

I need help with tax advise, retirement advice and financial planning.

The AARP website is having problems. When I go to "My Account" or other areas of the website, I get 400 Bad RequestRequest Header Or Cookie Too Large

I'm 69 years young and wondering if anyone uses the ATT cell phone pre-paid card system??. I've been using a pay by minute plan (10 cents per minute) for many years. It is considerably cheaper as I only use it at most 8-12 times a month. In the past your balance would roll-over until you run out of money, at which time you would add more. I received an email from ATT saying I had to add funds, knowing that I had $130.00+ in the account I contacted them and was informed that If I didn't add funds that I would lose the account balance.This has not been their policy in the past. I added some funds until I could rectify this. My course of action is:1. Contact AARP to see if they have an advocacy dept.2. Send the FCC a letter and file a Compliant with them3. Try and find the right person at ATT that would give me a reasonable explanation as to why, and then explain why they would not:  a. Return my unpaid balance  b. Owe me interest on all I've sent them thru the years that was us

Hello,I have been a proud AARP member since 2002 and am currently participating in the Innovation Commercialization Assistance Program (ICAP) at George Mason University (GMU) in VA. As part of this study, I am looking to interview 10–20 individuals for a brief 10–15-minute conversation about their media viewing habits and mobile app usage.This is strictly a research survey with NO sales component. I am also conducting this survey with GMU students, my LinkedIn contacts, and other organizations I collaborate with. My goal is to gather valuable insights from other AARP members, as your participation is essential in strengthening the research. A larger sample size not only enhances the validity of the study but also ensures that diverse perspectives are represented.If you are interested in supporting me in my academic research project, please send me a message with your availability for a 10–15-minute call, and I would be happy to set it up. Again, your support would be greatly appreciate

Here we go again! 11/20/2024 and still get "Unable to process your redemption request"...and may I ask...what did your IT guys fix and make better????

 I booked a hotel through AARP Travel Center powered by Expedia for a six-night stay from February 8 to February 14, 2024, but due to horrible conditions, I checked out the morning after arrival. I submitted a complaint on February 9, 2024, and followed up again this past Friday, yet I have not received any response within the promised timeframe. The hotel was completely uninhabitable. I requested a non-smoking room, but the room reeked of cigarette smoke, had two ashtrays, cigarette burns on the bed, and was filthy. The phone didn’t work, there was no hot water, the refrigerator and microwave were dirty with food residue, and the door lock was damaged, making me feel unsafe. I was unable to sleep because of the conditions, and I checked out at 6:00 AM on February 9. Despite only staying one night under these conditions, I was charged $251.24 for all six nights, and the hotel has ignored refund requests. Since I booked through AARP Travel Center, I expect AARP and Expedi

It appears there are several SPAM topics being posted (by a few 'members?' within the Community Forum - Games Talk. How soon will these posts (and the associated 'members') be removed and blocked?  

My parents are now in their 80s. We want to restrict their access to their IRA and Trust accounts to prevent them from being scammed of their savings. Schwab told us there is no legal way to limit their access (online, phone, or mail) because they are the legal owners of the account unless they are declared incompetent. They have a local bank savings account where we keep a few thousand for daily expenses. 1. I would like AARP to push for legislation to allow family members to help their older parents protect them from financial scams. 2. what are you doing to help your older parents from financial scams?

For years previous to joining AARP and getting a discount with Budget, I used them for car rentals in Az, Co, and NM. I never had any issues and the price was right. But in the last 5 years there are nothing but problems they never take responsibility for. The worst was when they'd started running renters' drivers licenses through a scanner and if it didn't pass, the rental wouldn't be offered. Mine didn't pass, but in asking what could be wrong they had no answer. I hadn't gotten a ticket/ infraction in years nor have I ever been arrested. It wasn't about credit. I tried calling customer service etc., but no one could tell me what specifically was wrong. I got robotic answers. Thankfully I was able to get a car from Enterprise the same day with no problems. Currently I'm curious about Budget's prices on a rental this summer so I tried their page and it's not accepting my AARP membership number for the discount. Why doesn't AARP look into how the company is stressing people out with th
