AARPReviews 234

Have been unable to redeem points in their rewards program for 3 months. Have chatted, emailed & called many times. Nothing is ever done. They just don't care about their subscribers. They should be ashamed regarding how their customers are treated. I think they feel they can provide poor service because we are seniors.

The life insurance through New York Life that AARP backs is a scam. Quick to take your money but when I was trying to make changes it took days of trying to get a person, online I couldn't be found, saw too many red flags so I tried to cancel. Of course that's another department and NOBODY will answer from there. I quickly ran to my bank and stopped the auto pay so they can no longer rip me off. You would think AARP would investigate this company before recommending it to seniors on a fixed income. Very disappointed not only in New York Life but AARP as well.

I have been a member of AARP for about 15 years but I canceled today. Today I saw a disgusting TV ad where AARP was endorsing United Healthcare Medicare Advantage insurance programs. This is the company that has been accused multiple times of delaying and denying care to patients. As of today they are accused of paying bonuses to nursing homes when the nursing home does not send United Healthcare insurance covered patients to the hospital when an emergency arises. United Healthcare calls it APK, admits per thousand, and nursing homes get paid bonuses if they keep their hospital admissions low and penalized if they're too high. This is disgusting. AARP should not be accepting money from and endorsing a company like this. In my opinion AARP is not looking out for seniors they are simply looking out for profits.

My telikin computer is difficult to use so I have waisted $ buying it and am told i have to pay $248 to get out of them helping themselves to 21 a month every month Telikin sr computer aka Venture 3 system llc should for me it is VULTURE praying on seniors

I called at least five times trying to get details on the benefits from aarp.org. They sent me a flyer listing the benefits of membership that sparked the original questions. The only thing the original phone cue people could do was welcoming with a script but as soon as I switched over to my questions they were uninformed. Both times they tried to transfer me to some higher level the call was disconnected on their end. Their claims seem to be many but they're delivery on their claim seems to be very watered down. I don't see the benefit of joining such an organization.

The June Bulletin 2024 article on chronic pain contains misinformation. Any attempt to publish facts from NIH or other reliable sources is "against their policy" These people are evil at best

AARP told me they could save me 500 if I switched to them. My insurance for year $1700. AARP rate was $5700 for six months. AARP are criminals stealing people's money. I hope their customer shop around and see how badly AARP is raping them! GFYS AARP

I tried several times on several occasions and couldn't sign in. I called for aarp help, but unfortunately they were unable to help. After becoming frustrated I ended the call. I called again and the support help appeared to get testy and told me that they would hang up. To me that is unacceptable, I ended the call by canceling my subscription. All that I wanted was some help, didn't get it.

This organization claims to fight for seniors but it's just the opposite. They are against legislation to have minimum requirements for staffing while corporation owing nursing homes are having records profits. This organization has always been corrupt

I made a huge mistake giving these people money. Now that I've cancelled they hound me horribly with tons of junk mail. It's a disgusting waste of resources mostly. Now they have started sending me AARP Foundation mailings wanting donations for poor seniors. I'm one of them and didn't realize AARP was geared towards well-off/comfortable middle class seniors and why I cancelled before my membership even expired. I laughed so hard because they now want me to not only send them money in their newest mailing of the AARP Foundation to "help seniors in need", but they expect me to pay for the stamp to mail it to them. On their website they suggest you PAY some other greedy capitalist to get rid of these junk mailings... that either don't work or work for 3 years and you have to pay again. I even get the AARP junk mail for the DECEASED woman who used to live in my apartment. These people have no shame! Like most who collect charitable donations, the CEO gets 6 figures from it then all those under get big cuts of it then there's the overhead to run the scam... so what do they have left to help poor seniors? A whole lot of NOTHING! I see no big dent in the amount of struggling seniors as I have seen no dent in Cancer with the scam run by The American Cancer Society. AARP is only ONE in a sea of scammers AND they sold my data too, Criminals!

3 times they have said l would be getting a free gift for renewing and 3 times l have seen not one free gift, 3 times they have said that they would send out the free gift over the phone and still no free gift, from the travel kit to the luggage set, l would have given them ZERO stars but the minimum is one star...

Does not help retirees but does serve as a schill for insurance companies. Current focus of ads (2024) is "findind a job". AARP is tone deaf. Not worth subscribing to at all. Generates more spam mail and email than virtually any other organization.

AARP STARTED OUT FIGHTING For the rights of senior citizens in fact, they originally called them, selves the gray panthers. Now they just a big business that is the number one supplier of all forms of insurance in America. They advertise all sorts of big discounts when the fact they know better than dealing with an insurance company I joined in an attempt to save money on auto insurance. In fact, the company the Hartford would not even pick me up. I had friends who are also AARP members that tried to get insurance and the rate was the same one more than you sure it's companies they already had. Of course they pushed for Obamacare Nevada how bad it was because they're the number one seller of Insurance and Obama care stipulated that you had to have mandatory insurance so it was a bonanza for AARP talk about fighting for seniors rights. Not satisfied with just going after senior citizens AARP is now going after people under the age of 50 talk about a giant money munching machine! I will not be renewing my membership, the tire waste of time

They seem to focus on making money on ads, give money-saving tips to save pennies, and talk about fraud, but they never reply to my fraud/scam questions/requests.

When I turned 50, I joined AARP. They said I would get a gift for joining. I soon discovered A. The discounts don't kick in until you are 55. B. They promote only Democrat candidates and causes. And C. They lied about the "free gift". I called to inquire about the bag and was told they had a limited supply. They still promise a free gift for joining. If they'll lie about the gift to get you to join, they'll lie about anything. I joined AMAC. I get the same benefits without the agenda and B.S.

Let's not forget that AARP helped push Obamacare through legislation. Prior to ObamaCare I paid $399.00 for health care for myself. After ObaamaCare became law, I had to pay $1,300.00 for just myself. Since I can't afford that, I have no healthcare. Thanks AARP, you suck!

Seniors...beware. This company is taking advantage of us. Annual fee is $120 + 27 cents per mile + the Lyft or Uber fee. Get a friend or family member to order thru their App for you.
I am highly offended by us seniors being taken advantage of.
