What has AARP done about lowering drug costs? Nothing! What has AARP done about the US blocking drug imports from Canada? Nothing! Why should I SUPPORT AARP? No reason!

Sad that negative stars cannot be awarded. I had two cases that remained unresolved with AARP. One case pertained to their vehicle insurance carrier - The Hartford - and the other involving a demonstrably false article sent to their entire membership. Throughout the complaint process, I have been repeatedly assured that someone would contact me to discuss these matters. To date, no one has followed through on those commitments. The lack of communication, ownership, and progress was unacceptable. As a customer, I made every reasonable effort to work through the established process and exercised considerable patience while awaiting updates and resolution. However, after months and months and months and months of waiting, I have no confidence that these cases are being actively managed or that a satisfactory resolution is forthcoming. I have been swept under the proverbial carpet. The failure to honor commitments, provide status updates, or communicate with me as promised has severely undermined my trust in AARP and its customer service process. Unfortunately, my experience now mirrors many of the negative reviews I have read, particularly those citing my own disappointments. I even requested immediate escalation to management to review both cases, a clear explanation for the delays and lack of communication, and a definitive plan for resolution. I repeated my expectations to be contacted promptly with a status update and the specific actions being taken to bring these matters to closure. When commitments are made and repeatedly ignored, trust is eroded. They simply don’t care. You guessed it – they were not accommodating. I canceled my decade long membership, so here I sit sharing.

Sudoku is a good game but one I don’t often finish all at once. Even though you have to log in to play, if you have to do something else for a while or want to finish it tomorrow, the half-finished game disappears! Very annoying & frustrating.

I took the 8 hour Driver's Safety Course. It was longer than 8 hours. Even after content was read by the read along system or by myself, each slide of the 7 chapter course had an additional 10 second delay....that totals minutes and hours of wasted time. I resent that AARP think elderly people have nothing else to do with their time.

AARP is a marketing nonprofit that comes across as a bit of a scam. They recommend United Healthcare as the top plan for seniors, but it has the highest rejection rate in the industry at 32%, compared to the 16% industry average, and offers no discount. I ended up finding my own plan at a lower price with a better approval rate.

I have taken the AARP Defence Driving course everything is repetitive. It’s boring. It says it takes six hours. It took me 9 1/2 hours with a half hour break. I think it’s just a gimmick to take older people’s money. I’ve never did a Defence Driving course like this ever and I’ve been doing it for the last 40 years. Take my advice don’t take the course online. It’s a rip off.

The course will have slides that are timed for 30 seconds, but will only have 20 seconds worth of information...so you just sit there staring at the screen. You need to keep clicking to progress through each screen. I wore out the mousepad on the laptop. 20 seconds of narration. 10 seconds of staring. Click. Repeat the process over and over and over. Some courses are 5 hours, not this one! It's six hours of misery. I would describe my experience as: miserable, depressing, somber, dank. I am so thankful I wasn't holding a fork and sitting next to an outlet.

I learned NOTHING! This coarse is for imbeciles. They actually ask what a red circle on a traffic light means. It wouldn’t verify my keystroke pattern and locked me out TWICE after I had completed 65%. I asked for and got a refund.
