bingo!!!

As a conservative, I subscribe to AMAC, much better than AARP!

i also have used the discount many times over, more than paid for the subscription

AARP is THE most American of American companies. It's like the statue of liberty, but for seniors.

Technically wrong, for sure, as they are not an "insurance company". But the poster's point is correct if you replace "company" with "broker". That's what they are - an insurance broker.

How about adding sawdust to the envelope for the return?

AAA, etc.
 

Those advocating AAA: That is good, but it is more expensive than AARP.

AARP is only about 12 dollars a year.
Benefits are listed here: AARP(R) Member Benefits: Browse All Discounts & Programs

I do not qualify for military, gov't employee, etc. discounts at hotels, so the membership has saved me at hotels, though AMAC would have also saved me at most of the same hotels.

I was able to check a bag for free, value of $65, on British Airways (ticket was $65 cheaper than best price found elsewhere.

I find Ancestry too expensive despite my love for genealogy. AARP got me 3 months for 1 dollar per month, not the $25 by-the-month (or about $17 per month on a six month plan, only a little less on a one year plan).

Finally, I admit that I feel torn because AARP can be political at times, and when they are, their actions may not be in keeping with what I believe.

Crowded mailboxes due presumably to AARP sharing were mentioned. They can be contacted and asked not to share information, a request they will honor. Whenever I join something I try to make that request.

Also - For crowded mailboxes: Google "stop junk snail mail". I get very little junk mail these days after following steps here. And yes, I still get the "free dinner" invitations despite doing the things recommended to stop junk snail mail. It is a little effort to stop junk snail mail, so some but not all will consider it worth the time to do so.

I'm also thinking of switching to their competitor which better supports my views. I use Hartford insurance for our vehicles in Florida with no issues, they were also the cheapest insurance company compared to USAA, AAA, and a few others

that's the very reason i didn't join, & probably never will

Yeah, but does AARP provide 24 hr roadside assistance for that $12?

is the policy from Travelers? this was a bait & switch carried out in Ct. for some time. you pay "The Hartford" ins. co., but policy would quickly switch to Travelers, which is God-awful

:beer3: i wouldn't be without it

I canceled my membership when they endorsed Obamacare before it was made public. The also made $$$ marketing that crappy bait and switch program.

Me too

They do not but wish AAA roadside assistance came sooner than 90 minutes or so.
