Is AARP Worth It?

[Gr8ful]

I joined AMAC much better & not anti gun like AARP & AMAC isn't selling my info.

The best reason of all to join AARP is the nationwide United Health care discount for Medicare supplemental insurance. That insurance provides nationwide coverage.

Yes they do a lot of advertising but after putting in some effort, a lot at first and then on occasion later you can get all the solicitation efforts stopped. It is not just AARP that does that. You will also get them from United Health Care.

Almost everyone does that, their marketing plans put you on the list automatically and it takes some real effort to get off those automated list.

Thanks everybody that is what I suspected. Many places give senior discounts without it anyway.

AAA might be a good idea though.

A friend of mine uses AAA, but told me he gets a limited amount of tows per year. I have roadside assistance and rental car with GEICO for about the same cost and no limit to how often I have to use the services.

Check the fine print on auto insurance roadside assistance, mine pays for towing.... but only $100 max per tow.

I am so sorry I ever gave them my name, worse yet went with one of their "recommendations."

I don't have AARP.I sure get a lot of advertising from them.From what I can tell,They do a lot of promoting old farts agendas.Some of their positions I agree with,some I don't.I do agree with their promotion of gun safety and support stricter rules for gun ownership.

nah, didn't sign up for AARP. I can get other discounts etc when needed without bothering with this...we were never interested in it.
