Stop sending me renewal letters!

I received dozens of AARP renewal letters in the last year or so, often promoting a soon-to-expire special rate that is it special and isn't expiring. I generally support what AARP does, but i'm not renewing because I don't support this manipulative, annoying marketing.

    With all due respect, our expiration dates should be in your system and renewal letters sent out in an appropriate time frame with the correct expiration date. AARP could probably save a lot of wasted $$ in paper and mailings as well. This has been an issue for a long time.

    I agree! My membership expires in February, but I start getting renewal letters in August. Additionally if I did renew by end of November to prevent expiration, via the current renewal letter I’ve received, it says my new expiration date is November 2027. WHAT??  I  lose 3 months of my current membership. So, obviously I just shred the letters and “new cards”.

    Hi ​@Maidenvoyager 

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I can understand how receiving multiple renewal mailings can be frustrating, especially when the offers appear similar.

    If you'd like to discuss the renewal notices you've been receiving or review your communication preferences, I recommend reaching out through AARP's Contact Us page so the appropriate team can take a closer look at your account:
