Wrong membership renewal gift

[LeonC750663]

I recently renewed my membership.  When I sent in the renewal information and payment, I was supposed to get a duffel bag.  The notice used the term "weekender duffel bag" and the picture showed it as being black in color with a zipper plus pockets. I was really looking forward to using this duffle bag when traveling. That is definitely not what I received in the mail today. I got some weird chocolate brown smelly open-top tote with white and green circles with a few random pockets on the outside. It reminded me of something you would take to the grocery store to use.  It isn't even something I would use at the grocery store for my groceries or take on trips to the park or beach.  Plus I didn't even realize this is what it was for because there was no AARP branding on the bag. The only thing I got in it that made reference to AARP was some thank you card for renewing the membership and sender info on the package.  It's an ugly tote and definitely not a duffel bag. Whoever's in charge of this renewal gift idea needs to make sure that the item that is sent is what we were told we were supposed to get.
