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.

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.

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.

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.
