It was supposed to be a "gift" for signing up for auto renewal.&nbsp; &nbsp;I couldn't even get the charger to charge as instructed, so not even able to determine if it would charge the phone or not.&nbsp; It's use is not that important to me, but would like to say to AARP, I would rather not be offered a free "gift" then receive one that is defective. I get that it was obviously used just as incentive to get members to sign on/up for services, not an actual reward..&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Feb 2026 23:30:45 GMT wj7877 2026-02-09T23:30:45Z https://community.aarp.org/t5/General-Help/free-gift-doesn-t-work/m-p/2656318#M10198 <P>Just received a portable phone charger that doesn't work.
