What are the benefits of AARP?

I was a member but the only benefit we every used was a few disounts so we stopped. We did occasionally find something interesting to read in their newsletter. But, Dave never approved of their political stance so he was more than willing to let me stop renewing my membership.

Our vehicle insurance went down by one-half using AARP.  All we had to do was to tell them to take our name off all mailing list and don't sell it.  Been junk-free mailings ever since.

We have been AARP members for years...and get very little junk mail from them.

One of the benefits we use from being an AARP member is the mobile home insurance through Foremost.  We've also used the Medicare Supplement through United Health.

No benefit to me.

Also you should consider the political leanings of the organization and be sure they mesh with yours.

Not being political, just saying do your own evaluation.

Glad you mentioned that, I checked, good to know.  Thank you.

If you're just going to use it for purchasing cheaper vehicle or medical insurance, political doesn't matter.

Um, the way they spend your dues doesn't matter?

Nope.  For $12/yr they can spend it how ever they choose.  I'm more than capable of of not being influenced in any way.  I joined only to get cheap insurance... and I did.

I see it the same as any other store . If they have what you want at a fair price , use them . 

It comes down to doing your own due diligence and not going by what ever any Joe blow has to say . 

Including me .
