Well, I benefitted from discounted car rental rates but on returning to TV after several months I found that over half of my mail was from AARP - car insurance, life insurance etc.

I have no problem throwing it in the trash, but they are certainly keeping the USPS in business.
I prefer AMAC. It's a conservative group that has a lot of the same discounts but doesn't carpet bomb you with insurance sales. They also have a great magazine that comes out bi monthly that I found very helpful. The magazines can be viewed online. AMAC Magazine - AMAC - The Association of Mature American Citizens
