Default AARP Yes or No?

So now that I am of age, I am getting many a letter from AARP trying to get me to join.

On the plus side, I understand they offer a discount at Outback where I go alot.

On the negative side with so many letters from them, many of which contain membership cards (must be costly to print) and so many ads they run on TV, it makes me think my dollars would be wasted on their advertising to get new members instead of them offering any real benefits. In addition, I checked out the insurance rates they offer and what I have is better. And I have AAA for hotel and other discounts.

So I ask you all - to AARP or not to AARP.
