Subscribe to Notifications for Bulletin and Magazine Posted

[BLSonRP]

Is there a way to subscribe to the Bulletin and Magazine e-versions, so that when they are posted (as pdfs) we would know when to go get them?

Since I don't use the app, this would allow me to stop the physical mailings - the task of having to check on things for posted versions is just not feasible (with everything else in life to track).

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the clarification!

Might be something to propose to the web crew as a service to implement. Would make the transition to digital content a whole lot more useful.

Hi @BLSonRP, thanks for your membership! Through the free AARP Publications app you can get instant access to current and previous issues of AARP The Magazine and AARP Bulletin from your smartphone and tablet. Or, to view the current issues online visit: 

         *AARP Bulletin: https://www.aarp.org/benefits-discounts/members-only-access/aarp-bulletin-current-issue.html?cmp=SNO...
         *AARP The Magazine: https://www.aarp.org/benefits-discounts/members-only-access/aarp-the-magazine-current-issue/?cmp=SNO...

Please let me know if you'd like to stop the publications by mail, and I'll adjust your preferences. Thanks! - Diana G.

Thank you for the response Diana.

I do understand the approaches to GET the pdf versions of the Bulletin and Magazine - which is was triggered the question. However, I don't want the app (that's why I don't already have it), and I don't want to keep checking the website for pdfs being posted.

The question being asked is, can I subscribe to some notification (via the website) - perhaps an email notification - which will tell me when a new pdf of the Bulletin and Magazine are available on the website?

Until I can get notified (via email) of pdf versions being posted, I would like to keep receiving the mailed copies. (And if that is a preference setting I can change, just point me to that as well.)

Thank you.
