If I could go to Amazon.com and get a 1-yr subscription to Better Homes and Garden for $5.00 (versus the $6.00 "rewards" price offered by AAPR Rewards -- and way over the "savings" supposedly AARP would save me, then AARP is doing a disservice to it's members. Ditto for many of the other "rewards" price/savings of other AARP Rewards magazine subscription offerings. I realize the "savings" would be if a subscription were paid for at the "published" subscription price, but that is not realistic when the vast majority of your members would look for savings over and above what could be had from going to Amazon.com or other site that offers discounts.
Is a AARP Rewards just becoming another "false advertising" vendor -- looking to literally scam it's users into accepting "rewards" that maybe benefit AARP Rewards, but have real-life costs to it's members?
I urge AARP Rewards to investigate it's rewards offerings to better reflect real-life cost/savings.
Thank you
