AARP is an insurance broker.

AARP is an insurance broker.

Yes, cleverly disguised as a Senior's advocacy group.

It is considered one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in D.C.

Anyone that falls for them is stupid, and deserves what they get.

I’ve heard of them. Unfortunately businesses promote AARP and don’t offer any discounts

I was recently retired due to COVID-19. I consider my new lack of association with anything a feature of retirement, not something I need to join an association to remedy.

I was social distancing long before it was cool.

I mail the postage “free” envelopes back empty so they have to pay for it. I stopped getting them after wwhile!

I do the same thing but throw in a few washers so there is additional postage due.

I’m an AMAC member. IMO it’s worth it just for the PureTalk wireless service offer.

"AARP is an insurance broker. I return their prepaid envelopes to them ... empty."

I save all of their junk mail up, stuff it all into their prepaid return envelopes, and drop them in the mail. If you cut the pieces right, you can usually get the envelope to be almost 2" thick.

“ AARP is an insurance broker. I return their prepaid envelopes to them empty.”

NO! If they are “Postage Paid” fill them as full as you can of the heaviest things you can find, rocks, crushed sardine cans, etc.. Let them pay out the nose.

I have United Healthcare ONLY because it is what my long time doctors accept. It is THE INSURANCE that allowed me to keep my doctors after I retired. I DO NOT LIKE AARP. But I do like being able to continue with doctors that I know and appreciate.

I asked them to stop spamming me - no response other than more spam. So I wrote again informing them that henceforth I would be returning their post-paid envelopes - and they weren’t going to like it. They sent more spam.

So I filled the envelopes with steel plates (cost me nothing) that probably wound up costing them 10-15 dollars a whack. Still the spam came. So I attached an envelope to a piece of broken machinery and mailed that to them - $320.00 in postage.

Curiously the spam ceased and I never see anything from them anymore.

The last mailing From AARP required a stamp to return the envelope>.

That’s funny - it looks like they’re slow but they catch on....eventually.

AARP’s CEO was a golfing buddy to Obama his entire term as President.

What is the minimum age to join AMAC?

[1Old Pro]

It should be an SEC rule, not the labor department which Obama wanted.
