BOGO; not

AARP,

You talk about senior citizen scams; but you have one example of sales misrepresentation on your own pages. Boost Oxygen had a BOGO for AARP members at $17.99 + shipping. The sales individual never did ask for my AARP member number (big miss on my part). After further investigation, I realized that local big box stores and pharmacies had the product for $8.99 which is even lower than the AARP so called 2 fer 1 price all in.

And, now they have my email and phone to sell or harass further.

Your members are due an apology.

Just reported a problem with that same site. Tried to use my Amazon pay and it kept kicking me back. As far as I know it was cancelled as the order never completed. Bogus I think!

I'm not sure what you're saying is bogus: the offer or the company/website itself. A representative of the company replied to the other identical post the original poster put up. You can read it here: community.aarp.org/t5/Benefits-Discounts/BOGO-NOT/td-p/2663356

I was going to mention that myself, but just shaking my head remembering that whole thing!
