Received a letter for a free tote bag if I renewed. wife renews for last 25 years. Called. Lady said I got something years ago and that counts for both of us for many years. why send the letter?

On December 10th I purchased three $100 Carnival gift cards through AARP Rewards. I confirmed that the credit card transaction was successful and forwarded it to AARP for their confirmation. I made several calls to AARP regarding this matter and was told to "be patient". I asked multiple times for a refund since they could not provide the product. Almost a month later with no resolution from AARP, I finally had to dispute the charge with my credit card provider in an effort to get a refund.

I was lured into joining AARP (I'm 62) by an ad on meetup.com promising 25% off on membership dues. I went through the sign-up rigamarole, and I assure you it was long and difficult. I don't know how someone like my mother could ever get through it. I received 9 emails for confirming my email, for welcoming me to AARP, confirming my payment, for confirming my email (again), for invitations to log in... Then I discovered that I have to give them my phone number for their two-step authentication. There is no way to log in without it. No way to opt out. I do not want two-step phone authentication. I do not want to give you my phone number, too many spammers already have it. I am not giving you my phone number, sorry. I followed a link from an email to AARP to log in from my pc "Log in to AARP with this one-time link:" I go there. "Last time you used passwordless log in, change password? Use passwordless log in" I try that: "Log in to AARP We’ve sent you an email link to XXX. Please follow the link to log in." I check my email. "Log in to AARP with this one-time link:" You get the idea. So I tried calling. The usual robot and phone tree. Finally I get through to a point where they ask me if I want to speak with a human being. YES! 35 minutes waiting, then I hung up. All I wanted to say was "Refund my membership fee. What is this, ring-around-the-rosy? And you are supposed to cater to the elderly? You've got to be joking! Refund my membership fee." But clearly that is impossible. Oh, well, it was only $12 dollars. At least they didn't get my phone number!

I would have never joined if I had been made aware of how much junk mail would inundate my mailbox. Considering the challenging times we live in with waste and climate change, this is so irresponsible and incongruent with my integrity. I just canceled my membership and unsubscribe.

All AARP employees are very truly CRACKHEAD drugs users like Meths, Rocks, and Cocaines. I can guarantee you. I can promise you. All AARP employees will use everyone’s moneys to spend the drugs to smoke for high and high. That exactly what they want !!!!

The aggressive marketing mail to sign up for auto renewal is so excessive. When you renew they should say "thank you", not continue to send mail to lock down auto renewals. And they waste your money mailing all that. Also found out online that AARP gets paid by United Health Care almost 5% of my monthly insurance premiums.

AARP vision benefits page lists $55 vision exam with Target Optical as one of their benefits. I signed up with AARP to get that benefit and made an appointment with Target, but when I arrived for my appointment, the doctor said he knew nothing about the benefit with AARP and the exam will cost between $145-$185. So I had to leave. I wasted two entire afternoons trying to find the best eye exam price and narrowed it down to the AARP -Target benefit only to discover that it doesn't exist. When I called AARP to ask them about it, the agent was also not aware of the benefit, but did find it very clearly laid out on their website. She apologized but I told her how much time I lost for the false benefit and that good customer service would offer more than an apology, they offer some sort of compensation, however small, to not lose that customer and all the people that customer will talk to. She said AARP doesn't offer any compensation, even if it's our mistake.

No one in America honors AARP!! They have took advantage of millions of senior citizens with no regards. STAY AWAY!!
