AARP Help

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  If it’s outdated, not sure why still there, and if relevant, I’m scratching my head as to why no replies allowed.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,

📸[*** 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 💛🤗

 HelloI read in one of the AARP Papers about a Low Milage Plan for people that drive a few miles a week etc.Where you pay a Fee and then only pay for the milage you drive. Has anyone seen or applied for this. ThanksKen 

I want to cancel my membership in your organization.  Please cancel my automatic renewal.

I was playing some games today to gain points, and realized that I was being awarded points as if I were not a member, even though my membership doesn't expire for 2 days.  It is evening, so I can't contact customer service until tomorrow.  This happened to me before.  Has this happened to other people?

 My AARP membership card says my membership expires on 7/31/26 - so on 7/30/26 I should still be awarded rewards points as a member.  But even though games and videos and quizzes showed the correct amount of points for a member before I played, after I played I was awarded points as a non-member.  For example, a quiz that awards 450 points for a member showed that many points before I played - but I received 300 points.  For a video that awards 300 points for a member, I received 200 points. I have been debating whether to renew my membership, given all the glitches experienced with the rewards program on a regular basis.  This seems to be another.  The rewards program was my primary reason for being an AARP member, but I'm less and less inclined to renew given all the ongoing problems.  Isn't the expiration supposed to start at 11:59pm on the expiration date on your membership card?  

I am an AARP member wanting to use the AARP discount available on ThriftBooks. Per ThriftBooks blog November 2025, I would verify membership by keying AARP member number in given link and receive a promo discount code to use at checkout. The link did not provide a way to verify membership. I contacted ThriftBooks customer service who suggested:“I'd recommend reaching out to AARP directly to inquire about their partnership with ThriftBooks and how to obtain your member discount code. They should be able to provide you with a code that you can apply at checkout. “ Can you help please? 

Here's how I successfully resolved the interrelated problem with The Hartford raising the insurance premium dramatically for my auto insurance even though I have an excellent driving history, and AARP acting helpless to leverage the matter with its business partner (i.e., The Hartford) ... I recently dropped The Hartford at renewal time in favor of a different carrier (Progressive) and, in the process, save substantial money. I subsequently called AARP and cancelled my membership and will be receiving a prorated refund of my five-year membership payment (more savings for me). If more people took this approach and there was a decrease in membership, perhaps AARP leadership would redirect its energies to be more member centric? It seems that AARP has lost its way helping members in favor of income from royalties paid by business partnerships. 

I choose AVIS car rental because of the benefits that AARP offered.   It was a nightmare experience to say the least.  I picked up a car at the Philadelphia airport and drove to New York.  A relative of mine noticed that the vehicle inspection had expired making the vehicle illegal to drive. The only place to exchange it was 120 miles away to get the same type of vehicle (larger SUV).  So we had to drive illegally to exchange the vehicle and lost 2 days of driving as we had events going on locally and had to car pool with others.  We reported it to AVIS and basically was told that we were out of luck and that they would only look to re-imburse us for gas or lost time with vehicle if we had a Wizard number at the time of rental?  If AARP is going to partner with such companies they need to make sure they inspect there vehicles.  

Many of the meetings and the social interactions are virtual.  Do those give the same benefits as in person? 

Is anybody else experiencing false readings on TrueLane? I keep getting hard breaking reading and having points deducted when this happens. I can drive 50-100 trip without any driving issues and not receive any added points but if the app thinks I’m hard breaking it deduct 2-3 points off my score. Is this app rigged??? I think it is.

If I already have an existing membership and it is due to renew, can I use the AARP Discount on my existing membership or will I need to cancel it and start a new membership to et the 40% off?thank you for your help!

I need help how to print recent AARP website exercise article to take to the gym and use as a guide...Be Your Own Pilates Instructor by Learning These Simple Moves  -  Published July 23, 2026 URL - https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/at-home-pilates-exercises-older-adults.html Printing shows 27 pages (portrait) and includes advertising, etc. Same results from AARP bottc and chat advice. I can copy and paste to a document and then delete all of the advertising, but was wondering if anyone knows a faster method.  Some websites have PRINT AS PDF option. Thank you.  

Why do you continue to promote Consumer Cellular?  They did not treat me fairly after I joined them on your recommendation.I moved my cellular service from AT&T thinking I would get a better price with better service.  I also needed a new phone.  After buying a new Consumer Cellular Apple Iphone and having their service for nearly 4 weeks, I decided to discontinue my relationship with Consumer Cellular because I had continued problems with its service.  When I went to move my service back to AT&T and to activate the new apple phone I got through Consumer Cellular with AT&T, I learned that my new phone was locked and needed Consumer Cellular to unlock it.  Consumer Cellular informed me that in the contract that was displayed on their web page, it says that if I buy a new Apple Phone through them, I can’t have it unlock for six month after I purchased it.  This means that, even though I can cancel my service at anytime, I can’t unlock my new phon

I wanted to ask questions and provide some thoughts on advocacy for social security (e.g. the bill of rights). But I could not find an advocacy topic or forum to respond to. I surmise what is most important to AARP members, and most impactful to members, is our Social Security and Medicare benefits, yet no forum for that exists. Where do I provide my input for advocacy. How does AARP get our thoughts and priorities in order to shape advocacy? Inputs from members on our priorities and ideas on solutions should be front and center. Maybe I missed something in all the entertainment and rental cars and discount stuff populating the AARP site and my email inbox. 

  I got the new AARP Prescription Discount Card and went to use it at CVS. After CVS gave me the AARP/Optum price ($36), I asked what the GoodRX price was since I had that   on my account. GOODRX was $18. HALF the price. So if I didn't ask, I would be out $18. BEWARE  

The Denny's at 18875 S I-19 Frontage Rd in Green Valley, AZ, came under new management and has stopped honoring AARP and military discounts.  Green Valley, AZ is a town of over 20,000 full time residents that swells to 40,000 during winter months.  It does not make business sense to me that they would want to alienate that many people who have time for a sit down breakfast during the week.

My plan was $19 + 5 for unlimited talk and text. My sister had the same plan and had she not checked their plans we would never had known our plans were obsoleted months ago and replaced with a lower cost plan ($19) with more data. No notification to anyone still paying more on a plan that no longer exists. CC told me they had no way to notify those paying more. I'll bet they have a way to notify everyone if the price goes up. Plus they told me they had no way of telling me how many months I was paying $5 more than I should have. They acted as though they were doing me a favor by refunding $5 for the month I called. Check your plans! AARP was aware of this but they didn't tell me of any notifications to it's members.

I just contacted Walmart which has stated there is no AARP $40 discount off Walmart+ $98 annual membership fee.
