AARP and its affiliates DOES FALSE ADVERTISEMENT So that you can click bait and get them as a Medicare advantage plan under uhc!! They promise those FOOD Allowance cards to seniors through social media up to 2000 to ***** dollars and when you call the number they tell you with certain Medicare advantage plans you are allowed which AARP was one. The agent promised 50 dollars every month towards that's thats why I accepted AARP! It's a LIE. 2 months with the card you get 0 dollars!! Don't fall for the ***** online that promise food allowance cards through Medicare!Save your time and Energy! False ADVERTISEMENT and they should Be SUED !!!!Review from Karen G

I have towing service from AARP through Allstate insurance Company. It took AARP and Allstate four(4) hours for a tow truck to arrive after I had an accident, during which time I made at least 7 phones to complain that no one had come. Finally, a National Roadside Services tow truck showed up but did not have the the flatbed I had requested or other proper equipment for to complete the tow. The driver said National Roadside Equipment was cheap. AARP and Allstate then sent out a second tow truck from another company, which did not arrive for 2 1/2 more hours. When it did, the driver could not find my mechanic's address, which I had given to him and which is only about 7-8 miles away. It took 8 1/2 hours, beginning at 9:00 a.m., to when the car was finally dropped off at 5:30 p.m. for this nightmare to end.Review from Harold R

I have had AARP for close to 3 years and at first, I was excited about the membership. But as time has gone by I have not been able to use these so-called benefits . It is very frustrating when you need help but you cant get it because it is not covered under AARP. So why continue to subscribe to AARP? When it comes time to renew I will not renew my membership.AARP Response

bought a 5 year membership. Only had a couple months and used their travel service. Tried multiple times to talk to someone about helping me with issues with the car rental. i couldn't get any help...its the weekend. they respond to bad comments on their page, so i was contacted there and told how to send private messages. What they told me to do was wrong, no tabs etc where they said. So i called the helpline to help me with this and or my rental issue. The customer ********************** line does not go to *****************. The person on the other side did not understand my issue, said he couldn't transfer me to the US or even get me a supervisor. so i told this in the community as well, i was told to use the chat now...I did. After repeating myself and giving the person all kinds of info about me....all of which could have been gotten by my member number. to be told it would be 3 days before i got any help!!!!! what a crock of SH*T. told them to cancel. they are more trouble then worth. they sell a service with no customer **********************!!! Absolutely Horrible, dont waste your time or money or your sanity.AARP Response

AARP automated assistant does not work well. They have no connection to their contracted towing service providers once they establish the service request. Their online help and tracking system does not exist. It is very difficult to talk to a human at AARP. I asked to speak to a supervisor yesterday. I am still waiting a day later.AARP Response

I have a family member that passed away and I tried to cancel their **************** with Delta Dental a branch of AARP. Delta Dental tried to blame AARP , but Delta Dental is a separate company. They refused to work with me, told me to call AARP. They kept me on hold at every level, transfer me four times (4) , and hung the phone up and I had to start over again. Delta Dental kept the payment even after my family member passed away and refused to refund payments. This is a Prime Example of how BIG BUISNESS can do anything they want. They are taking money from a dead person that CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEIR SERVICE, YET THEY TAKE PAYMENT ANY WAY. What is White Collar Crime if not the Power to Push the Individual Around.AARP Response

Dear ****************,
Thank you for your comments. I researched your AARP membership account and found that there was no premium linked to the membership offer to which you responded online in April 2023. You did chat with an AARP agent on October 25, 2023 who offered you a selection of all our available premiums and you stated that "it was something different" than what she offered.
AARP accommodates the reasonable requests of our members and we're sorry we weren't able to satisfy you. We hope you will reconsider membership again in the not-too-distant future.
Sincerely,
*****
