Damn, I thought I was going to be the first to come up with the best solution.

[SandRat]

I always shred the documents they sent, fill their SASE with the shreddings, then mail it back to them on their dime.

[Kaslin]

No way. Why would I even want to discuss anything with them?

[ErnBatavia]

AARP is more than happy to "enlist" you at age 50.

I used to belong - as with many, for the discounts (and they are GOOD if you're traveling), but I sh*tcanned 'em years ago.....but I keep the card in my wallet.

If anybody even asks to see it when I inquire -- which is exceedingly rare -- I flash the long expired card and still get the goods. Ain't been busted yet.

[hoosierham]

I despise AARP;at besy,they are a bunch of freeloaders demanding special discounts just because their members reached a given age.

But much worse,they are anti-gun.

Their directors dream of everyone buying only AARP endorsed products.

I always shred the documents they sent, fill their SASE with the shreddings, then mail it back to them on their dime.

You know, until now, I knew what they were, but I just tossed their crap in the trash can. But to actually abuse us, not just use us, I may take up your return mail practice. Takes a little more time, but not much. :)

[Fester Chugabrew]

Did you ever wonder how they got your name and address in the first place, and knew not to send you mail when you were 16 years old?

[digger48]

Dont shred the business reply envelop. Put a nasty note in it and send it back to them!

That's what I do....let them pay the postage and take the time to open it

[JudgemAll]

AARP are follwong the ACORN business model of getting a free billion dollar congress contract to run healthcare in violation of church and state.

It is obvious they are getting paid by a mobish kind of people of which the AARP has joined through such business models proposed by Marxists and all sorts of criminalizing misfits like the Nazies and what not.

[John D]

Just to make them PAY for the return postage.

[SandRat]

They didn’t send any to you when you were 16??? I’ve been getting their CRAP since I Graduated from H.S.

[taildragger]

I don't advocate it, however read their take on things....

[SandRat]

and it causes you to smile knowing you’re irritating them when they open it and making them pay for it.

[taildragger]

lets try that again... http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-Junk-Mail-by-Sending-it-Back

[Fester Chugabrew]

Hehe. Maybe you had a beard and moustache back then. Read the latest almanac, though, and AARP ranks far and away above every publication when it comes to circulation numbers.

[Kaslin]

Hmm, I could put something that is really heavy; like a brick in a package, glue the envelope on the outside. That would really cost them postage, wouldn’t it?

[SandRat]

The trash they was solicitations to contribute to some fund or such thing so that they could lobby on seniors behalf; citing “Didn't I want to help care for my Grandparents?”

[John D]

Sounds like a winner.

[Ouderkirk]

Fill the reply envelope with all your other junk mail without your address. Make it as heavy as possible to make it cost them as much as possible.

Here’s a video of the Dallas AARP “Town Hall”.
