I finally received the product I payed for, and I am glad to have finally received them. I would add that my experience with AARP has been FULL of frustration all through the process, and It also resulted in a loss of money to my family in making my vacation reservation. If I had received my ****** gift cards when I placed the order (or even a day or 3 later) I would have been able to reserve my family's vacation spot with a savings of almost $250 and then would have benefited from the discounted price I paid for the gift cards (a total of $100 in additional savings) from AARP's rewards portal offer as well. Because of the delay, Not only did I NOT get the $250 discount from the rental, but had to pay $200 more than the price we were planning on. That's a pretty big swing from $350 in savings to $200 in extra cost (-$550). I heard multiple times from various representatives that AARP was "so grateful for my continued membership", but let me say that because no one reached out to me (after I contacted AARP at least 6 times) or was empowered to help me for 10 business days (almost 2 weeks of time) I felt ignored and taken advantage of. The company proved that they don't really care about me as a customer. They were fully willing to take my money (almost $2000) immediately, but did not feel the need to provide me with my purchase (a simple electronic one at that) with the same expediency. I don't believe AARP is looking out for me, and I can't imagine retaining my membership after it expires next year. I also know that this complaint will probably vanish into "cyber oblivion", but I thought I'd at least express my concerns on the infinitesimal chance that I could spare some other customer the frustration and potential loss I experienced. I am posting here to warn people against purchasing from the AARP rewards portal, but I am dubious about the possibility of prompting change in such a large company.

I reached out to AARP to assist with finding Medicare additional coverage. The very next and EVERY DAY since that call I have recieved at the least 5 to 6 spam calls a day in referance to medicare coverage. Ive had my celluar service several years and never has this happened until I called AARP. They are obviously selling contact information. I'm a disabled veteran and these calls are affecting my PTSD. I'm goin to be forced to change my contact number where all of my medical providers reach me which will be a enormous inconvenious to say the least. It's 1150AM I have already received 4 calls this morning.

I have been getting mailing offers to join AARP for at least 10 years now, I have received yet another letter from AARP $20.00 for one yr. Up to 5 yrs for $79.00 .I've never taken the opportunity to join this AARP, but have thought about it every time I get a letter from them. Now I am 62 yrs old and my eye's are in a bad way, I am in need of eye surgery because of cataracts, the eye doctor said that I should have it done and the sooner the better. But I've no insurance to help pay for this so I considered joining the AARP in hopes that they would be the best option for my problem. I want to say " THANK YOU BETTER BUISSINESS BUREAU " because after reading the complaints from the people who are, was, members with the AARP and their affiliates, have helped me with this decision. Therefore I also would like to thank the people who have wrote in their experiences they had to the BBB. I shall continue to search for another source for some help.

Total and complete scam. AARP preys on older Americans with no benefits unless 10 or 15% can be thought of a benefit

Dear Mr. ************* you for your two years as an active AARP member and for your *********** addition to the multitude of benefits offered (please visit: **********************************************************************), AARP strengthens communities and fights for the issues that matter most to families such as healthcare, employment security and retirement planning.I have sent a digital version of our membership guide to the email you provided.Sincerely,***** *************

I am really upset about the deceptive AARP promo with Consumer Cellular! You advertise 2 lines for $55... BUT fail to mention that price does NOT include taxes and other fees.. AND that data usage is SHARED by the 2 phones, so the actual bill is $68/month w/out full data usage.For an organization that is supposed to HELP seniors with lower costs services, CC is a total bait and switch LIE... I suggest you start being HONEST with your members in ALL advertising and promotions. There is really no reason at all to be a member of AARP when you cannot be trusted to be HONEST with your offers to your members!

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 !!!!

Dear Mr. ******* appears that the issue you experienced was resolved earlier this week. If this is not the case, please email the ************* representative who reached out to you this week.Sincerely,***** *************

I received a nasty email. Accusing me of fraud. And when I asked what I supposedly did , nothing was explained to me and Im losing ******* points I earned because I had been blocked for nearly 3 weeks of using them. So, can someone explain what fraud I am accused of????

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.
