Membership cards

[TheodoreR131452]

 Please stop automatically sending new plastic membership cards every year. It is a tremendous waste of membership dollars and of plastic. Leave it up to each member, but I would gladly reprint my membership card off of the internet every year.

Thank you for considering my comments,

Diana, Last week my husband and I received AARP membership cards for the fifth time this year! We now each have 5 AARP membership cards! I can’t help but think to myself how inefficient AARP processes are, to permit this kind of redundancy and waste and expense to happen.

I'm sorry you've received so many cards @JeanC654477. They may be temporary cards that come with a renewal or discounted special offers. You can send us a private message with your name and address, and we can check to see why so many cards have been mailed for you.

  I like the plastic, they hold up better than the paper does.

That's why I suggested leaving it up to the individual member.  I'd bet a lot of people never even use their card, I don't, so a new plastic card every year is a waste.
