Instead of joining, just send back the paperwork without any money. Then they’ll send gobs more to get you to pay up, and you to can support the United States Post Office while costing AARP even more money.
Good idea! I have time on my hands some days, maybe I’ll do both! Sign up, then cancel AND send them stuff back and make them pay the cost.
You’ve got the right idea. Years ago, (rules may have changed), if the envelope contained blank paper, foreign objects, torn up applications, etc. the company could return same and get a refund of postage paid as the correspondent was not using the return postage paid envelope for its intended purpose. I get around this by filling out name as “John Doe” and address as “Anywhere, U.S.A.”
