AARP Discounts

[dewilson58]

Where do you present the card and get a discount???

[Keefelane66]

I have mine copied to iPhone wallet if needed at time of purchase. Between Military discounts, AARP and looking old it usually isn't a hassle.

A lot of places give discounts to Seniors. AARP card not needed.

I made the mistake 20 years ago of joining AARP for one year, then cancelled the subscription. I STILL get mail from them. I've moved twice and somehow they get my address.

Very annoying.

AARP gives a monthly discount on Consumer Cellular, which more than pays the membership.
They have hotel discounts that we use too.

I have never joined AARP, but I get a lot of mail from them.

A lot of online reservations for motels give a bigger discount for AARP then they do for seniors or AAA. Have used it a lot.

The only company on earth who's better at keeping track of people for a lifetime, is Sirius XM radio. You could move to the moon and they'd find you.

Go on line and pull up the list

Thanx, not asking for a list............asked where used.

My college's alumni office is very good at it. They tracked me down numerous times.:)

Denny's. Along with their "55+" menu items, it makes for a very reasonably priced breakfast.

[srctink]

15% off at dennys

Me too for years, but recycle.

Me too for years, but recycle.
One thing I used to do (with AARP and with other companies who flooded our mailbox with unsolicited offers, advertisements and just plain garbage) was to seal up the usually-enclosed "postage paid" envelope and send back, without any return address or other identifier that would indicate who it came from. Sometimes I'd enclose the advertising blurb that accompanied the mailing but never the actual enrollment card. Gave me just a bit of pleasure to know that in a very small way I was inconveniencing the people who had inconvenienced me.

Apparently I was far from the only one. Over time the mailing companies made that more difficult; from actually requiring return postage to putting our name on the return envelope, coded stamps on the return envelope that I just assumed would identify me when I mailed it back (I always blacked it out before sending), etc. Don't see it anywhere near as much nowadays.

Supplemental United healthcare gives a discount. Hotels , car rentals . Cruises . Plus you get weekly updates on useful information for seniors .

Also Budget car rentals. I go visit my children and rent a car on some trips. Just recently, the Budget AARP rate was $160 - $170 for a sedan (depending on size up to full size). Same car non AARP was $290 or more at Budget or Enterprise or Alamo. You have to enter the AARP member code on your account but then it stays there. Discount is about twice what my husband can get as a retired airline employee.

On hotels, always check ALL the discounts you are eligible for. AARP can be more, but I have found sometimes AAA is.

Also UPS Stores give AARP discounts. Otherwise, you should check the list online of who offers discounts. I pretty much always forget to even check except for travel lol

[maistocars]

Great discount on AARP/United Healthcare Supplemental G - only reason I have it.

[Bogie Shooter]

I don't use or never would give any money to the liberal AARP, instead I enrolled in the conservative AMAC.

True colors presented……….:shrug:

In this day of computer nothing private if you do normal business. AARP and rest of supplemental insurance are mostly scam, they don’t make billions by paying out. But, do get some benefit. IMO the most worthless I insurance are dental and term life unless you die young. :oops:

And you’re by pointing it out. :D

But what if on the dark side of moon where all the aliens are? :D

[johnlongman]

I try to remember to ask everywhere. It takes a second, doesn't cost anything and you might get 10 or 15% off. Worst they can do is say no

[Arctic Fox]

But what if on the dark side of moon where all the aliens are? :D

Then you join LARP - Lunar Association of Retired Persons

[Acordionist]

The Hartford insurance for your car has been for me the most beneficial. You may find other places on the AARP site as also when subscribing to their email news

[jebartle]

Hartford auto insurance.

[Bogie Shooter]

The difference between the two?

[dewilson58]

The difference between the two?

Well, the difference is:

One is a list of companies offering discounts.

The other is where "you" have used your card to get a discount.

Hope that helps your confusion.
