SherryC298764 I'm sorry to hear you've been waiting so long! I know it has taken 8-12 weeks at times. Although AARP isn't an insurance company, we work with insurance carriers to provide carefully researched and evaluated products. For information about the gift, please contact The Hartford directly at www.thehartforom/aarp, or call 1-888-808-5254. If I can answer anything about membership or benefits, please let me know! Jodee R.
I have done the quote and wife has and we are still waiting on a duffle bags . I asked about it in chat and they said we would get an email about claiming my free gift which we have never gotten, have checked junk and spam folders, nothing there, but we sure get the emails with their offers for Hartford Insurance.

@DougM759749 Thank you for your interest in The Hartford! It can take up to 12 weeks for the duffle bag to arrive. If it's been longer than that, please reach out to The Hartford directly at: https://www.aarp.org/membership/benefits/shopping/walmartplus/?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=144304739... or call them 1-888-808-5254. Take care! Jodee R.
This is such baloney Jodee. This thread goes back four years. I'm still jumping through hoops trying to get the free duffel that AARP allows them to advertise. AARP is obviously aware of this and does nothing to stop it. Please don't tell me to take it up with them. AARP should put a stop to it or cut them loose. Does not make me a raving fan of AARP.

Sorry, can’t help with the duffle problem but doubt if they will be cutting loose anytime soon, since they just signed a new agreement in June 2020
06/02/2020 - The Hartford and AARP Agree to Extend Auto and Home Insurance Program forAARP members
From the link ~
HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Hartford announced an extension of its long-standing auto and home insurance program for AARP members until Jan. 1, 2033. The Hartford’s program has been endorsed by AARP for 35 years. It launched in 1984 and since then has developed into a leading affinity program.

Hartford Insurance, which YOU recommend, is my auto insurance carrier. I tried to get rental insurance and they cancelled me because I applied 3 days ago. Evidently, the apt I live in had a theft report 5 years ago (as of yesterday) and I applied and was cancelled! I’ve lived here 2.5 yrs and have had no problems or reports on any of my insurance policies. This is TOTALLY unacceptable and a NEGATIVE report is necessary to all the AARP members! I’m very, VERY dissatisfied with Hartford INSURANCE anyway you can say it…

Hi @crsilver3! I am sorry to hear about your rental insurance cancellation. Were you applying for rental insurance and were denied? If so, was the reason for the denial based on the theft report? If not, were you provided with a reason?

I have my auto insurance with Hartford, so I've been getting a lot of emails that I should bundle my rental insurance for extra savings. OK, I tried. I called on about 10/12/2023 to add rental insurance. The lady total me that the apt had a theft claim 5 years ago but it would expire on Oct 15th, so apply then. When I applied on Oct 16th the agent said I WAS DENIED ON OCT 12TH SO I COULDN'T APPLY FOR ANOTHER YEAR! I couldn't believe it, I didn't really get denied because I was told not to apply until after the 15th! Anyway, the theft didn't have anything to do with me as I have lived here for about 2.5 yrs, so I had no idea of any problems (it's a gated apt). I've never had a claim on anything, so I feel I was treated very, very unfairly. Needless to say, I have a very poor opinion of Hartford Insurance and ALL AARP members should be warned. It's just that simple.

THANK YOU I RECEIVED THE HARTFORD OFFER DUFFEL BAG! It is adorable mini and useful. I spotted an email a few weeks back saying to reply to it for the duffel bag and it arrived yesterday. And bag aside I am seriously considering trying The Hartford for my insurance needs. Thanks again!
Grateful,

I am wondering if you ever got your duffel bag. I went through the quote process and the Hartford price was considerably higher than I am now paying. Oh well, at least I would get the duffel bag for my time.
They say it can take up to 7 weeks for delivery. I contacted them at 7 weeks and they say things are delayed due to Covid and I sould allow 2 more weeks.
End of 2 weeks and I contact them again. They are sorry and will order the duffel bag to be sent out to me again... can take up to 7 weeks.
I am now waiting the 7 weeks.
Did you ever get the duffel bag?
Thanks.

I got mine after going through far more trouble than it's worth. It's not a duffel bag, it's a tiny replica of a duffel bag. If you ever get it, you can put it out someplace where it can be easily seen as a reminder of the integrity level of Hartford and AARP.
