I received an AARP card in the mail yesterday...
Comments (16)I won't pay to join either... no point to it. DH joined when we got a new car. If he was an AARP member, he got $1000 off. So he went online in the dealership and signed up for three years. That was 5 years ago.... Their magazine/newsletters have had next to nothing in them of interest to us. We are about to the point to immediately trash them.... As far as discounts go, I do just as well with AAA, etc....See MoreAARP--watch out for this
Comments (18)I can get the same "perks" elsewhere without the constant insurance pitches and without supporting their lobbying efforts which are contrary to my political beliefs. Anything that says AARP on it goes straight into the shredder. One year DH signed up with them. He's more gullible than me. LOL I gave a whole lot of money to second amendment rights groups that year to counteract his contribution. :-) DH has evolved and understands that they are a political lobby so now he's on my team regarding them. LOL...See Moreaarp
Comments (15)I use the AARP supplemental insurance. It is great. When I turned 65 I asked an older neighbor what company she used and she told me AARP. She also told me that she knew people with Blue cross and they were not happy with their company - so I bought the same company as she had - the aarp. In the four years I have had the supplemental insurance I have had some very expensive hospital stays and never paid one dime ( I use medicare plan F). Also, in my area, at least, the specialists will accept aarp. When the new drug insurance came out, I chose aarp and so far, it works fine. I stopped being a member because I don't read the magazine. Hope you all stay well. Monicatx...See MoreAARP Questions?
Comments (16)We've had AARP for years. Like Alisande, DH is 13 yrs. older than me so when he retired and I quit my job I had no insurance and got a basic policy from AARP (The Hartford). It only covered catastrophic illnesses and thankfully I had only one claim (which they didn't pay much of). But it was good to know I had it if I had to be in the hospital for any length of time. Now that I'm on Medicare I have AARP Medicare parts B & D. United Health Care is the provider. We also hadour auto insurance and homeowners' through them (Hartford), but they stopped coverage for homes in Florida so we cancelled our auto, too. Hmmph! We also have AAA. Discounts on both are usually the same. Good luck in your search. Insurance sure can be confusing!...See MoreC Marlin
