AARP Help

 tried to renew my membership today for one year only, but I was billed for five for $79!

Wow, I don't like to complain but the latest upgrade has to be the worst yet. Now I can't earn points because it says I have maxed out when I haven't done anything to earn points all day, and the rewards say I have already played the games when I haven't. Late in the day it seems to work sometimes. Not sure what the improvement was but it definitely affected the rewards area. Sorry to complain because the system you have for rewards is good and I play and earn every day.

 My wife & I have Aetna CVS Caremark Part D coverage since we retired (4 years).  The cost has been $10/month for the last 2 years.  We received our January invoice and the cost is now $45/month.  The notice for the price increase was sent when we were on an extended vacation last year and we missed it on a quick mail review on our return.  After contacting Aetna we were told our plan was cancelled.  There are plans available in our zip for about what we were paying last year & we would have changed if we knew the increase was going to be that much.  I know we missed the change window Oct - Dec. Is there any recourse or a reason that would allow us to change now or do we have to pay the huge increase for the remainder of 2025.     

Why does AARP endorse Delta dental?  All you have to do is google"is Delta Dental any good? " and you will see numerous negative reviews from many reliable sources.  People have come to expect reliable services from AARP partnerships, but Delta Dental has not one good review on Google from anyone or a business.  They are the most expensive with the poorest benefits.  Customer service?  They have no idea what that is.  I can only think that part of the premiums I pay Delta Dental, AARP is receiving a portion of it for their endorsement.  AARP Delta Dental?  A real travesty.

 I am 73 and was paying $80 a month to use a Lifetime membership any time of the day, and now I found out that, effective 2/1/2025, my plan was canceled.  No notice, I found out when I went to the club.United did not even give me a choice to pay an enhanced fee to cover Lifetime and if I stay at Lifetime, my membership fee will go up to around $250 a month.  This is on top of me loosing my Stretch Lab membership and YMCA.

I see that AARP has a new CEO.   I am pleading that the website gets fixed. The experiencing technical issues has been posted for way too long.  There are bad links, wrong dates on transaction history, earn weekly not resetting, promo codes not found, and many others.  I am afraid you are going to have many more requesting to delete their membership.

I'm not 50 years old. Delete my account.

I have recently been receiving repetitive emails that look like they are from AARP. They tell me it is time to renew my membership. I want AARP to let members know to check the email of the sender. The email of these fake/scam emails are always different, and they are obviously not from AARP.Maybe AARP should include warnings about these in their monthly newsletter.

CHAT is a joke!  "Not available" seems to be the new status during business hours after getting rid of the AI bot!

How do I delete messages from my Inbox?

INBOX is a joke!  Just another monet grab!

 Is there a link to all the online Table of Contents or lists of articles of the last year or several years of AARP Bulletins and Magazines? I found the webpages for the AARP Bulletins and another one for the Magazines, but I don't want to have to open each edition and look for the Table of Contents page individually.  A searchable Table of Contents would be great! I have tried searching by separate topics on the overall AARP website, but that doesn't seem to always turn up Bulletin or Magazine articles.Thank you!

Has anyone considered the chance of double taxation for retirees if income tax is replaced with a sales tax, VAT tax, or even tariffs. Most retirees have saved after tax dollars to a large degree, some cash, some Roths, and maybe some other methods. I have not read any articles on the ramifications to retirees. I am worried that the post income tax dollars we saved will be taxed again. This is something that needs to be watched and addressed. A change to national sales tax or similar tax without adjustments for after tax dollars means we will pay tax again on our savings. the only savings that won't be hit would be pretax savings. With the new administration this change could happen fast so please start writing your congress person now. The last flat tax bill presented suggest a percentage to cover income tax and FICA. Will the next one be similar? If so, haven't we already paid a lifetime of FICA? And haven't most retirees already paid income tax on earned money? I hope AARP can publi

Hard ford Insurance does not care about AARP at all. They are the worse insurance company I have ever dealt with.They canceled my home policy without even telling me. No one should use them .ever!!!?!?

Has anyone else been concerned about the closing of our current AARP credit cards and its effect on our credit scores? We've had our VISA for many years and have built a lot of history with them. Now AARP is going to CLOSE those accounts and replace them with a new one that won't have any history. Just closing the account will lower our scores significantly. We, for one, don't want to use the Barclay cards, which offer significantly less rewards, so the total amount of our credit will be reduced, another factor in the building of our credit scores. What do you think? POST-  Postscript 09-21-21: To head off what I was sure would be a catastrophe, and after looking up references on Barclay, we created a new Chase CC account (on August 12th, received it on the 15th), set up our auto-pay bills, and set up the new account for auto-pay from our bank. We paid off the balance on the old AARP account by 09-08-21, and cashed in all our rewards. Then today, we activated the Barclay

I signed up for Automatic Renewal back in October 2024.  I just received a Renewal Statement in the mail telling me to select a payment option and send in a check for my renewal expiring in April 2025.  I logged into my account, but I cannot find any indication that I have Automatic Renewal, and when I hit the Renew button at the top of the web page, all I get is "HTTP ERROR 431".   I saved a copy of my Automatic Renewal Terms showing that I have authorized charges in April 2025 and 2026 for my AARP Membership Dues.  Please confirm if I do have Automatic Renewal on my account.  Gregory Mills

 I recently tried to use the AARP Optum Discount Drug card, to pay for 6 boxes of generic prescription lidocaine patches. I have been following the cost of the patches on the AARP Optum Rx website since last August, and the site has consistently shown a cost of $179 for the 6 boxes at Walgreens, and $451 at most other pharmacies, including CVS. I went to fill my prescription at Walgreens a week ago, and I showed them the $179 cost listing from the website, along with all the other information they needed to check the cost for this discount card. The cost their computer showed for Walgreens using the card - $451. This is no discount at all. So disappointing. when I called Optum Rx, they said the costs shown on their website are just estimates. They aren't kidding.But this story has a happy ending - I was able to use the Good Rx discount card at CVS, and got the 6 boxes for $181. Thanx Good Rx!Buyer Beware - be careful using the AARP Optum Rx card.

While off island our fridge broke down. In a panic I called Sears to inquire about their Protect Plan. I was assured that if I got it, I'd have 30 days to cancel without penalty. I got it and the repair man said our fridge wasn't fixable so I paid Sears the $124.00 for that and called and cancelled the Warranty. It was in June 2024.  The hard sales woman would not let me off the phone!  She kept going on with her spiel until I shouted I just wanted in cancelled.  I made it very clear. She said it was cancelled and I verified several times because I am always worried about things like this. Yesterday I noticed a Sears credit card charge on my statement.  I get online statements which I will change now.  She never cancelled it and the amount I've paid to date is $402.22 plus the $124.36 for not having a plan.   After two days trying to find an account of mine online and getting a "you don't have an account" message when I put in my email and try to

Year after year AARP starts pestering me about renewing my account long before its renewal date.  I finally give in and renew it well in advance of the renewal date.  However, that doesn't seem to mean much.  Here it is, long after I renewed and I receive the magazine with a "Final Issue" notice unless I renew before membership expires.  From now on I'll wait until the last possible day before renewing because it doesn't seem to make a difference.

 I have just renewed my membership and was shocked that I was sent 3 reminder and 1 receipt letter each containing 2 plastic membership cards. What a waste of money for aarp and huge addition to the plastic pollution problem.  8 extra plastic cards to how many thousands of members and potential members?  Shame on you! The cards are rarely removed from the wallet and could easily be paper.Please consider printed paper cards if you must have them at all. Robin North 

I have attempted to post on the main AARP page and have been blocked. The website keeps booting me out and back to the log-in page. Many of my other recent posts have been totally removed as well with no reason. I have followed the requirements on posts and still get removed with no reason or notification.  

 I renewed late last year for a 5 year renewal. I expected to receive a trunk organizer, I received an organizer, but it wasn't a trunk organizer. I have no use for the organizer. I wanted the trunk organizer for a specific use. I even signed up for 5 years.

 Seen while going through some posts, it appears to be a padlock on a triangle attached to an occasional post.     

 CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP.

I got a new card but the name is written DENA Avery. My name is DONA.
