I joined at 50 just to see what propaganda they send, get my cooler trunk organizer and pay almost nothing for a 3 year membership:
Here is what I have found:
1. Their prescription card is not quite as good as Good RX, but still interesting.
2. They love everything the Democrats do and steer people toward voting for them in every publication. They are mainly an arm of the Democrat party.
3. I got a great price on an online driver course that I was able to use to get a good discount on my USAA insurance
4. They sometimes have useful information that I have gleaned here and there.
5. Their travel deals aren’t very good. You can do better through other avenues.
6. I have converted points you earn from taking quizzes and watching presentations on their website into gift cards for a few restaurants.
Bottom line, you are basically contributing to a fundraising arm of the Democrat party with marginal side benefits. It’s doubtful I will renew when my practically free 3 year initial membership is complete.
I could not talk my wife out of joining AARP so we get their publications—evil lefty trash.
Yep
