Repeated expensive mailers - why?

[PhilipW501052]

 I constantly am receiver mailers for such things a automatic membership renewal, and memberships.  Since I am already a member and had signed up long ago for automatic renewal, why are my membership dollars going out to pay for these expensive mailers? This is not very efficient and I would love to see that operational costs are  being reduced. 

I would be surprised if I am the only person throughout the country that get this kind of mail. Are you in the process of comparing your membership data with your marketing data? This  seems to be about as efficient as DOGE.

Sincerely,

Phil Westmoreland

@PhilipW501052,

I have complained about this forever. MY MEMBERSHIP FEES are being wasted trying to get ME to join AARP even though I have renewed my MEMBERSHIP until 2030. I did this months and months ago and yet I still receive these mailers from AARP. I refused to fall for their automatic renewal for three reasons....(1) It is hard to get an organization to stop "automatically renewing" you and...(2) You have to give them your credit card information and (3) You end up paying their highest advertised price. I negotiated a $9 a year membership fee for a period of five years and they billed me the $45.00.

Phil @PhilipW501052 & @nctarheel , I often wonder IF anyone sits down and checks the AARP budget. Obviously NOT with all the mail folk receive. Wake up AARP, these mailings are annoying and DONOT accomplish anything.
