We recently sent your AARP renewal notice in the mail

"We recently sent your AARP renewal notice in the mail. If you have not already responded, please take a moment to renew your membership... Your membership will expire on March 31, 2023. If you renew now you won’t lose a single day of your current membership, and you won’t have to worry about remembering to renew later."

How could one forget to renew when AARP keeps pestering to renew today with over 5 months of membership remaining?

Remind with 10 days to go seems about right...

MY MEMBERSHIP DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL DECEMBER 2026.  CHECK THE RECORDS AGAIN.

As a follow up, I did renew online with 10 days to go...

@AARPJanelleM  I think there's a problem here. I would have to say I agree as I just renewed in the month of March, and I have received unwanted mailings from AARP even after my renewal, besides bulletins. How can it be better for members?

@KellytheBelly Pre-printed renewal notices will fully stop within 4-6 weeks once a renewal payment is made. If you would prefer to receive fewer mailings, you may be interested in signing up for Automatic Renewal, which automatically renews memberships annually. Learn more about the benefits of enrolling Automatic Renewal.

@AARPJanelleM  Not me! This person, @bearsound inquired about it: https://community.aarp.org/t5/Membership/We-recently-sent-your-AARP-renewal-notice-in-the-mail/m-p/2...

I thought you could assist. 🙂

Yep, they're like Insurance companies.  All they know how to do is pester people with unwanted junk

It is not so much about me AARPJanelleM, it is more about the gross waste of membership funds that effectivly raise the cost of membership for all caused by incessant and tawdry sales pitches to renew early, very early.

Since my post have received another mailing, this time a bonus FREE Versatile Everyday Tote and a temporary cardboard Membership Card.

"Your new AARP cards are enclosed. To activate, please return your statement today."

I might remind my plastic Membership Card is valid and activated through March 2023...

so agree, bearsound! I bought Mom lifetime membership and they sent her renewals until I realized and called them out (historic maybe 10+ years ago).

Membership renewal  correspondence is an issue that needs to be addressed; there are smart programmers that can prevent this organizational behavior...
