Benefits & Discounts

I don't know if AARP can help me but at least I can get my experience with Budget car rental out to AARP members. I used the AARP discount to rent a car from Budget in Asheville NC. One of their employees made a mistake when I returned the car and it got registered as being returned to a different airport. This quadrupled my charges. The manager at the budget Car rental agency admitted their employee made a mistake and in fact had done it three additional times that morning. I have made 10 phone calls and sent 10 emails with multiple documents in an attempt to have a refund of all the excessive charges. The manager admitted they made a mistake and she would correct the rental but somehow, she wasn't able to issue the refund. The customer service department at Budget has been horrible and to date they Haven't issued my refund. I would highly recommend AARP members avoid Budget and I would hope that AARP reevaluate its association with such a poor performing company.

they changed the rules and didn't notify users cost me 57.27 for 2 days use. Never sent notification about change from sign up policy.

Why did the AARP magazine stop including the PresserVision AREDS 2 $5.00 coupon?

Consumer Cellular MISS LEADS SENIORS. The ad says UNLIMITED TALK TEXT AND DATA. Unlimited meaning : Not limited or Restricted in terms of quantity, number or extent. They limit the high speed date after a short amount of data making your data EXTREMELY SLOW. When I called to ask about this the person said. " Its unlimited BUT..... Their is no But in unlimited..... Us seniors have enough to navigate in life with out being misled like this. My $55 plan has turned into $125 per line. Very Sad.

What other car insurance plans does the aarp offer. I have had The Hartford now for 3 years. Every renewal it goes up no less than 10% every 6 months. That puts me at over 20% increase per year.

 I like your Wordwipe game. Too bad - you can't access it on Apple or on Windows. I wanted to buy a gift card - it took forever, and I had to log on at least 10 times. Whoever you hired to "improve" your website did you wrong. If this is the way it is going to be, can I get a refund of my dues? I cannot recommend the AARP experience at this point. 

 Has anyone asked for a premium quote from fetch insurance?I have three pet the quote for the first one was $535.99 per month AFTER 10% discount... I almost didn't pay that much all last year at the vet for all three pets much less one... AARP this support for ripe-off companies like this has me questioning renewing my AARP subscription. Does no one vet these companies, or do you just let anyone who pays you pray on your subscribers... SHAME ON YOU AARP!!!

Why is aarp sending email and cards telling me to take the drivers safety class to MAYBE get a discount from my insurer? I took the class about two years ago. Even my State, Illinois, doesn't require a drivers test more than once in four years. The mailed card I got said to ignore it if I had taken the aarp drivers test within 90 days. Is aarp saying that if I took the test 91 days ago, I should consider retaking it to stay 'sharp' and perhaps maintain my insurance discount?I think the driver safety class, at $25.00,  mainly serves as an aarp profit opportunity. Spoiler (Highlight to read)Spoiler (Highlight to read)   

Is anyone else not able to link their AARP membership to the Jamba Rewards Program? The website does not allow me to log into the Jamba Rewards due to a CAPTCHA error. I'm new to the AARP program and not sure if member benefits don't get deleted/updated often from the site. If this is not a common issue is there a way of notifying/ reporting the issues to both Jamba or AARP?

I went through the AARP discount page to try and rent a Car in Seattle WA for two weeks.   The rate with the required fees was $100 more than just renting as a guest at the AVIS site.   So where is the 30% discount.   Both prepaid and not prepaid.     I got the exact same car and necessities (ex. unlimited Mileage) for a third less with Alamo.  AARP Benefit?   First time I tried to use an AARP benefit.  Not encouraging. 

I was looking at the Outback Steakhouse discount benefit. It listed an Outback Steakhouse in Louisville Colorado on Dillion Road. That location has been closed for over a year. The map that is being used is a little outdated. Not very professional.

 How do you determine which rewards have not been redeemed? I redeem thousands of point daily and have been so doing for YEARS. More than half my points have been deducted in the last couple of months (nearly 3/4) and I have been redeeming on a consistent basis with the exception of the time YOU were NOT allowing redemptions due to some "issues" with your servers. You have really soured my view of AARP in recent the past year. However, I do greatly appreciate the gift card. I would have missed that had I not renewed. I honestly don't think I will renew next year if I live.

Here is a list of discounts from - The Senior List.comClick Here --->  https://www.theseniorlist.com/senior-discounts/ As of  2026, many businesses have done away with their senior discounts, but we've found the companies still slash prices for older adults, as well as veterans, and low-income individuals. For many companies on this list, the specific discounts vary by location, so be sure to check with your local stores to confirm discount availability. It will be up to you to verify the discounts available at your desired retailer. As always only at each individual participating location/ retailer.     😎   ------>  Lynn Anderson - Rose Garden LIVE Full HD (with lyrics) 1971 - YouTube--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an addendum to:  Senior Discounts for Grocery Stores  Publix&

AARP/Hartford has charged my credit card for hundreds of dollars in transactions for insurance services I never requested or authorized. The insurance is for home and auto, and I rent and do not have a car. I need to track down AARP and Hartford's DIRECT LINE TO THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL so my attorney can file against them. Does anyone know what it is? I phoned Hartford and they say they do not have any record of the transaction.I phoned AARP and they say they cannot help me.I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and when they contacted AARP/Hartford, they said I authorized the transaction even though when we spoke they agreed the transaction was fraudulent.I have re-opened a dispute with my credit card company who is pretty upset with AARP and Hartford for lying to them! DO NOT RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP TO AARP!DO NOT USE HARTFORD FOR ANY SERVIES!

Spent day looking though website and with Chatbot and found no partners that AARP has that would give a discount on walk-in showers.   I was disappointed with this.   I have three neighbors who are seniors and are also facing this dilemma.   One would think that nationwide this would be an issue AARP would like to address.  Due to medications, I fall and am in a wheelchair.   I am not low income but, at the same time, $6-10K to install is an issue.  Doctor hesitant to prescribe as doesn't believe Medicare and private insurance will pay.  Any ideas or assistance would be very much appreciated!

 Hi,Can we expect $ 50 tickets for the Met Opera in NYC for the 2025-2026 season?

Why are the Carnival Discounted Gift Cards no longer available? They were quite popular, so it makes no sense for Carnival or AARP to end this perk. Thank you for your time.

Every time I try to enter the spin and win sweepstakes, I get a 'bad request' screen. I've let AARP know but it's still happening. Anyone else having trouble?

Thank you for making this decision easy for me.   I will be ending my membership due to your deception when it came to not one but two decreases in Carnival Gift Card benefits.  First the Carnival Cruise discount went from 10% to 8% and now it’s only 5%.    That was one of the better benefits I actually used  and now it’s basically gone. Thanks for nothing.  

  Has anyone with an AARP Hartford Home Insurance policy had their home totally destroyed and not been able to rebuild? I'd really like to hear from you. We have an AARP Hartford Home insurance policy  that has "100% Estimated Replacement" but it does not say if the policy will pay anything if the home is demolished and we cannot rebuild. We are in Hawaii and  have the supplemental hurricane policy but if we were not able to rebuild due to supply chain issues which could last years  if a hurricane hit Oahu, we would need to move. The Hartford Customer Service agent I talked to today said the policy would pay out but that that is not stated in the policy and that he COULD NOT send me anything in writing. Not happy.   Years ago an agent told me they do settle but at Actual Cost Value.  This agent today told me "No- we don't do Actual Cash Value"  Anyone have experience with turning in a claim when you could NOT rebuild ? Did you get a set

I recently traveled to Seattle and needed a rental car. I shopped with the AARP discounted rates from both Budget and Avis. The rates, if they were not  discounted as claimed, and were higher than rates I could get shopping on my own through other car rental company websites.I saved more money by using Expedia.AARP should review the arrangements with these companies, and revoke their endorsements if the facts and promised discounts don't prove to be what is claimed.K A Bolin

My spouse and I took the safe driver 4 hour class Sept 2025 because I thought we would have a discount on our AARP Hartford auto insurance.  The class was helpful, but the “discount” from Hartford auto is non-existent.   We paid $40 for 2 of us to take the class and our total auto insurance discount from Hartford was only $38.00 for a year. I’m thinking I wasted a lot of time doing the online signup for the class, trying to figure out how I get our certificats properly entered into to Hartford website, calling Hartford to see if they got our certificates and applied them to our account, and taking the time to write this comment. 

Hi its the video  " Ease Your Pain with Better Sleep"    it shows that I have viewed it but it does NOT show in my transaction list.. Instead it lists a video about pickleball.  I have watched ALL the pickleball videos thinking there is a crossover tech problem but still I cannot redeem for a CVS gift card. Its that last video... no matter how many times I watch it  it doesnt register in the account  and so I havent been able to meet all the requirements of that Extra Credit list "Sleep Your Way to a Better You"    Thank you for reading

This happens every month.  I go out to redeem an earned rewards.  The site makes me take some quizzes or watch some videos.  It says I completed the tasks but when I go to make the redemption it tells me I need to complete the tasks.  I try to do it AGAIN, and it tells me I've already completed it.  I then go back to make the redemption and yet again it says I need to complete the tasks.  Its an annoying endless circle.  Whoever is in charge of the rewards program needs to be replaced.  I've been asking AARP to fix their broken site for over two years.  I get a lot of lip service, but apparently they are too busy getting their commissions from hawking other products to hire someone who actually knows how to build a working website.  When my membership expires I won't be renewing it.  Your rewards program is nothing short of a bait and switch.  BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN!  A total waste of our time.

As anyone can tell from reading the posts in this community, the AARP discounts are not always discounts. A “discount” depends on the definition applied by the issuer. AARP is a great organization, however, they, like any club, must depend on income in order to survive. To attract and hold membership clubs and organizations offer discount packages that are probably marketed to the organization’s administration as deal for their membership with a kickback for the organization. AARP recently sent out an offer for a 10% discount on GE appliances. The link brings you to a third-party page, (possibly the package issuer site), then to a GE page where you must register before access is permitted. You must then agree not to divulge the special pricing. Ultimately, you will not see the final price until a product is in your shopping cart. All this spy drama to give the impression that you are receiving a super-special deal. You’re not. With all discounts applied, the special AARP in-the-ca
