Benefits & Discounts

 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

INCOMPETENCE MASQUERADING AS A SCAM #1: Expedia-AARP.com sent me an email offering a 10% discount for a hotel stay. Book before 12/31/25 and stay anytime before the cutoff date in 2026. I booked a 10-day hotel stay -- but there's nowhere to enter the coupon code (PACKYOURBAGS) on the reservation or payment page.  I attempted to resolve this with their chat representative. She referred me to the "terms and conditions" page which plainly states that there's a link to click on the reservations page to enter the coupone code. There is no such link. There is no option anywhere on Expedia-AARP.com to enter a coupon code when booking a hotel. INCOMPETENCE MASQUERADING AS A SCAM #2 Harford Insurance offered a free travel tote in return for requesting a quote and providing an email address. I did so several months ago. No travel tote. This is low-level, used-car-salesman level lying. MY RESPONSE: My AARP membership renews next month. I've turned off automatic

  I am livid! The verification method requires you type in a sentence on the same device you enrolled in the course. I used my phone. I got through 90% of the stupid course and it decided it couldn't verify me! 90%?!?!?!? It made me start all over! I am furious. My brain is f%^&ing numb! I want my freaking money back, what a ripoff and waste of 6 hours of my life! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! 

I just found a new AARP Member Benefit that is great for me (I gave up driving when I realized I was unable to be attentive and feared I might hurt someone)! Have been using Walmart+ since it was introduced, and just as I'm up for renewal, AARP offered "$20 Off a Walmart+ Annual Membership". I completed the offer and my Walmart+ account showed it applied within minutes, so I can vouch for this offer. hth

I booked a hotel room through Expedia for a June 11th one night stay and prepaid.  I then went online and changed the reservation to arrive on June 10th instead and was charged again for a one night stay.  When I arrived at the hotel there was no reservation for the 10th.  I was told there was still one for the 11th.  I asked to cancel that and was told that Expedia would need to cancel it. Soooo I had to pay the hotel directly for the one night stay on the 10th. So I ended up paying 3 times. Per the hotel Manager I could not cancel the incorrect/revised reservation for the 11th, that Expedia would have to call to do that. I call Expedia immediately and they cancelled the stay for the 11th.  After returning from my trip I called Expedia to get a refund for both the 10th and the 11th.  I was told they would review the information and get back to me within 72 hours. I did that drill at least 4 times and was never contacted.  I call again and finally got

Greetings, Over a year ago I started my mother on a CC plan to help her save money. Over the past few months her health has declined but we kept the phone active for emergency purposes. Even though she had not been using we kept paying. This past week we had to move her to a Memory Care facility. Her CC bill was the last thing on our minds. Yesterday I received notice of the monthly charge. When I called to cancel the representative had no clue what memory care was or quite frankly could have cared less. I asked her to cancel the phone immediately and refund any portion available to my mother's card.  Oh can't do that it's autopay and CC does billing in arrears so payment yesterday only paid until 5/15/25. She would owe till 6/15/25. Ok she's not used the phone since 5/16 but ok. Called back to speak to a supervisor - the next rep was better but still could not assist and did not see any notes from previous rep. She then sent me to a supervisor who promptly told me he couldn'

 I already have an American Home Shield policy but I noticed that AARP offers a discount on pricing.  Is there a way I can get that discount if I already have a policy?  Thanks.

What happened to all the sweepstakes that were available prior to the outage?  

As of 09/14/25 at 10:30am Eastern, AARP Rewards Redemption still down. Does any one know what is going on? This has been weeks!

 Any idea on when the "newest" maintenance will be done for the rewards? I've encountered this issue 6 different times over the last two weeks. Trying to buy gift cards and nothing. 

Booked a trip to Orlando through Expedia last weekend and ended up with several charges both from the airline carriers and the car rental. Ended up closing my credit card and disputed everything except the seat upgrades, My card was charged by Sunsouth.com and my flight was on Sprit. It's almost funny, except the time I had to spend correcting the unauthorized charges to my card. Expedia just gives your credit card info out willie nillie. My advice, book direct if possible. 

I purchased 2 gift cards yesterday, one for Papa Johns and the other for LL Bean... And I have received NOTHING from AARP. Today their Rewards site is down for "maintenance". Is this the best they can do?

The 'Average Joe' is out of luck on senior discounts on FIOS Home Internet. They just raised the monthly fee $10 per month - another $120 a year. 'Small potatoes' (pun intended as small potatoes prices are increasing) when grocery bills are headed North you say - every money increase is less money in your wallet. Can AARP do anything to try and arm twist Verizon for a STANDARD 65 & older VERIZON DISCOUNT???

So today, September 3, 2025, the chat option isn't working either! Does anything/anyone at AARP actually work?

It feels like a scam - in order to redeem points, you have to keep purchasing with your credit card until you reach the minimum limit rather than redeem as you go. What a ripoff. This program forces you to keep buying or else be unable to use the reward points. Because of this, I am now using this card the least, and opting instead for the cards I have with better rewards programs that let you redeem points as statement credits as you earn them.

I heard that AARP offered a Princess cruise line Gift card. I am new to the website and App and have not seen an offer. Can anyone confirm if this offer is still available?
